Simplified model for evaluation of the elastic properties of gas-dynamic support elements
Simplified model for evaluation of the elastic properties of gas-dynamic bearing elements is represented with their contact interaction taken into account. Suggested model methodology is based on the equations of the bar bending theory, with the assumption of the plane curved bar axis form described in the local coordinate system. Single GFB corrugated damper stress-strain condition is calculated using suggested bar model considering its concentrated force loading and verified versus finite element simulation results obtained with the plain strain finite element model. Different methodologies and accuracy of the parameters describing contact interaction are evaluated for GFB FE model. It is shown that three-foil gas bearing FE simulation results tend to approach asymptotically to the ones obtained using simplified model while increasing the accuracy of the FE model contact interaction parameters. Simplified model advantages in comparison with the previously developed FE model, including a decrease in computational time, are shown.
Keywords: gas foil bearing, radial bearing, elastic gas-dynamic contact, mechanics of bars.

Unification of electroplating on sealing elements of a liquid-propellant rocket engine
The replacement of copper-fluoroplastic coatings with copper-silver coatings was carried out for the unification of electroplating coatings on sealing elements of detachable connections of components and assemblies in a liquid-propellant rocket engine. Comparative analyses of coatings were carried out: according to the composition of electrolytes, environmental hazards, complexity of application, eliminability of defects, etc., which showed the need for such a replacement. A program of experimental verification of the copper-silver coating’s effectiveness has been developed.

Comprehensive analysis of compressor blades’ dynamic behavior at the design stage
The article is devoted to the problem of ensuring the dynamic strength of compressor blades during the creation of a jet gas turbine engine. In general, the dynamic strength of the compressor blades is studied by expensive and long-term experimental methods. We state the problem of more accurate prediction of the dynamic behavior of compressor blades at the design stage using numerical simulation of dynamic processes that cause blade oscillations and lead to their fatigue failure. The goal is the reduction of time-consuming and expensive experimental optimization of compressor blades. We develop the methods for predicting forced resonant oscillations of compressor blades as well as the conditions that lead to blade flutter. The created methods and numerical algorithms for solving the above-mentioned problems are described, and the calculation results are compared with the data obtained in experiments.
Keywords: resonance, flutter, damping, blade, compressor, gas turbine engine

The probabilistic approach to predicting the durability of turbine parts in engine cores of the NK-family ground-based GTUs for GCUs
A method is proposed that makes it possible to predict the durability of critical turbine parts by the parameter of creep rupture strength. The method is based on the analysis of the stress-strain state of the most loaded parts – disks and rotor blades of the first stage of a high-pressure turbine – of ground gas turbine units (GTUs) NK-16ST, NK-16-18ST and NK-16-18STD series 5 for gas compressor units (GCUs). It is shown that the long-term operation of engines (both aviation engines and GTUs for GCUs) and the peculiarities of their operation lead to a change in the stress-strain state of parts. The paper uses numerous statistically processed data on the mechanical characteristics (and their change) and durability of the disks’ material (EI698-VD alloy) and rotor blades’ material (ZhS6U-VI alloy) of turbines at different levels of their operational life. The prediction of the durability of parts is implemented by considering changes in the statistical margins of safety and durability during long-term operation according to I.A. Birger’s probabilistic criterion of destruction.

Heat exchange boundary conditions for calculating the temperature fields of parts of a piston-cylinder unit in ICEs
The article presents main points of the methodology for mathematical modeling of mutually consistent interdependent thermal boundary conditions for calculating temperature fields, deformation fields and stresses of piston-cylinder units’parts (cylinder head – valves – piston rings – cylinder liner). The problem's complexity is demonstrated by the interdependence of temperature fields and the diverse types and conditions of heat exchange on the surfaces of the parts that influence the thermal state. The temperature fields should be coordinated and modeled simultaneously as part of the overall process of simulating the thermal loading of the piston-cylinder unit. A description of the software package for calculating the thermal state of heat-stressed parts of reciprocating engines, which implements the proposed method, as well as the results of calculating 2D and 3D temperature fields are given.
