Perm scientists create a new scientific journal at one of the world′s leading publishers

23 July 2014 127

Today for leading Russian universities and the scientific community in general it is very important to publish articles in recognized scientific journals that can be read not only in Russia but throughout the world.

Mechanisms for implementing this idea can be different: publication of articles in Russian journals with further inclusion in international databases such as Scopus and Web of Science, publication of articles in prominent foreign scientific journals, and finally creating and promoting one's own scientific journal abroad.

Perm scientists decided to follow the latter path and about a month ago a journal titled Mechanics of Advanced Materials and Modern Processes was created at one of the world's leading publishers of scientific journals Springer. Chief editors are PNRPU graduates: department head at Loughborogh University (UK) Vadim Silberschmidt, chairman of the Perm scientific centre and director of the Institute of Continuum Mechanics Valery Matveenko and Rector of PNRPU Anatoly Tashkinov. The editorial board consists of 26 people - the world's leading scientists from the USA, China, Japan, India and other countries.

The purpose of the journal is to publish the results of current analytical, experimental and computational studies on mechanics of modern materials.

Creation of a new scientific journal is always an event. Creation of scientific journals on the initiative of Russian scientists and their partners with foreign publishers is a rare case because it is necessary to prove the feasibility of the journal, how it is different from others, form a list of possible publications.

We expect that at least 24 articles will be published in the journal during the year. Naturally these articles will not always be authored by Russian scientists. Priority will be given not to belonging to a particular country but to the level and quality of the article. However the fact that the initiative came from Russian scientists gives us reason to believe that through this journal we will try to promote scientists from Russia and Perm, including employees of PNRPU - rector of PNRPU Anatoly Tashkinov.

TECHNOLOGY OF PNRPU SCIENTISTS WILL RESTORE VALUABLE ELEMENTS FROM PRODUCTION WASTE

Now more and more attention is paid to the process of restoration of nitrogen and phosphorus from industrial and agricultural waste. This is connected with the need to implement the concept of sustainable development of society, based on the circular economy. These elements are biogenic, vital for plant growth. Phosphorus reserves are limited, and the process of obtaining nitrogen is energy-consuming. Potential sources of secondary raw materials are water waste from many industries: the fertilizer industry, pharmaceutical products, semiconductor production and agriculture. The recycling of nitrogen and phosphorus allows not only to reduce the consumption of non-renewable mineral resources, but also to reduce the saturation of natural water bodies with biogenic elements, the excess of which leads to swamping of water bodies and to a decrease in the amount of drinking water. To solve this problem, PNRPU scientists have developed a new approach that has increased the efficiency of extracting ammonium (a form of nitrogen) and phosphate (a form of phosphorus) from industrial waste water to 98-99%. The traditional method does not achieve such results. Moreover, the technology of Perm scientists will make it possible to produce domestically produced long-acting fertilizer based on struvite (a phosphate mineral) and will contribute to the import substitution of foreign analogues.

THE MODEL CREATED BY PNRPU SCIENTISTS WILL PREDICT DEFECTS IN LASER POWDER SURFACING

The method of laser powder surfacing is used to restore worn-out or damaged metal parts. A powerful fiber laser creates a molten weld pool, and then metal powder is automatically fed into it. A common problem that occurs in this process is the deformation of the part, being repaired, under the action of internal stresses. This leads to a defect called warping. One of the aims of developing a technological process for the repair of parts by laser powder surfacing is the prediction of warping defects. The determination of the optimal defect-free surfacing mode for specific parts experimentally is unprofitable due to high financial and time costs and often even impossible. The researchers of the PNRPU together with JSC “UEC-Aviadvigatel” developed a mathematical model for calculating warping during laser powder surfacing to solve this problem. The scientists were able to predict with high accuracy the behavior of the part during the surfacing process thanks to numerical simulations. In the future, the development will help in choosing the optimal set of parameters for repairing parts with the most complicated parts.
