У теперішніх умовах створення конкурентоздатної продукції машинобудування України пов'язане з удосконаленням технологій, що дозволяють отримати вироби високої якості при мінімальних витратах. У зв'язку з цим зростає роль ресурсозберігаючих технологій обробки тиском. Обробка тиском порошкових заготовок дозволяє отримати деталі вузлів тертя, які за фізико-механічними та експлуатаційними властивостями не поступаються компактним, виготовленим за традиційними технологіями.

Abstract:
This thesis introduces a novel aeroelastic approach to the design of blades for large-scale wind turbines. Larger blades driven by the demand for cheaper energy may incur aero elastic issues in design. A current blade is used as a reference for an aerodynamic analysis that maximises the turbine's yielded power at different wind speeds via optimisation of the blade's twist distribution. By noting that the total twist is the sum of pre-twist, elastically-induced twist and blade pitch, a distribution of elastic twist is identified. This distribution is induced by the blade bending so that it adap

Abstract:
The wind power industry is one of the fastest-growing renewable energy industries in the world. Since more energy can be extracted from wind when the density is higher, a lot of the investments made in the wind power industry are made in cold climates. But with cold climates come harsh weather conditions such as icing. The icing on wind power rotor blades causes the aerodynamic properties of the blade to shift and with further ice accretion, the wind power plant can come to a standstill causing a loss of power, until the ice is melted. How big these losses are, depend greatly on site-specific

Black Eyez: Memoirs of a Revolutionary engages in an investigation of the performative relationship between race and color. It offers a review of the genesis of race as a political invention, to articulate the intersubjective relationship between Black Power ideology and the Black Aesthetic. By highlighting the historical recovery of Black subjectivity, I argue Black aestheticians produced a form of performative decolonization.

The Great Migration is the largest self-initiated movement of Black Americans in United States history. By leaving behind the rural areas which were familiar but offered little or no opportunities for advancement out of poverty and journeying to major urban centers, Blacks were able to exercise their individual and collective agency.
