THEORETICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL JUSTIFICATION OF DISCREETLY CONTINUAL STRENG-THENING METHODS BASED ON ANALYSIS OF CONTACT INTERACTION OF MILITARY AND CIVILIAN VEHICLES ELEMENTS

Abstract

The paper describes studies of breakthrough methods effectiveness for sharply increasing the resource of highly loaded military and civilian vehicles elements based on methods of their discreetly continual strengthening. These methods, unlike traditional ones, combine the advantages of discrete and continual strengthening methods and lack their main disadvantages. The analysis of contact interaction of representative structures of contacting bodies at the microlevel is carried out. They consist of fragments of contacting parts, one of which is strengthened continually, and the other part is strengthened discretely. At contact interaction at the microlevel, on the one hand, the effects of the nanоlevel are manifested, and on the other hand, the effects of the macrolevel are manifested too. Nanoeffects are the redistribution of contact forces between bodies: from smooth ones they turn into an archipelago of hilly elevations. Macroeffects are to adapt the shape of the contact parts to the distribution of contact forces, smoothing their overall unevenness. As a result, the overall effect of strengthening is achieved, increasing the strength, load capacity and resource of military and civilian vehicles elements. A breakthrough is being achieved in improving the performance of military and civilian vehicles, which corresponds to or exceeds the world level for similar products.
