Abstract
Results of velocity measurements in a turbulent flow in a round pipe obtained using an experimental digital hot-wire device with a constant  overheat ratio are presented. This device works switching between two modes – the velocity measuring mode and the temperature measuring mode. Changing of the flow temperature causes changing of the electric current through the wire in the velocity measuring regime so that the difference between the temperature of the wire and the flow temperature remains constant. Such a concept of the device gives a capability to compensate automatically flow temperature changes during velocity measurements. Uncertainty of velocity measurements when there is flow temperature changing from 30 to 40º С is estimated.

Abstract
The numerical investigation of the turbulent flow with the impacts based on a modified Prandtl mixing length model using fractal dimension of pressure fluctuations, had conducted and were received the results. These results allowed us to propose a new design of a cooled turbine blade. The turbine blade comprises a combined cooling and cylindrical cavities on the blade surface, and on the inner surfaces of the cooling channels too.

Abstract
The effect of streamwise curvature of convex surface of flat channel on heat transfer of the section between spanwise semicylindrical ribs has been experimentally investigated. Heat flux has been evaluated using gradient method. The regularities of convective heat transfer in the considered conditions have been experimentally determined depending on relative surface curvature. It has been established that the increase of relative curvature of streamlined surface leads to enhanced effect of ribs on convective heat transfer.

Abstract
For the experimentally obtained limiting stresses and strains on hollow cylindrical specimens of D16T aluminum alloy the Lode-Nadai and stress triaxiality parameters for eight combinations of tension/compression, torsion and internal pressure are determined. It is found on the basis of the numerical calculations, that there is a common for linear and elastic-plastic deformation of the relationship between the functions of the stress state under the complex loading. The possibility of using patterns found in the formulation of theory of limit state is discussed.

Keywords: mixed mode cracks, drop potential method, crack growth rate, test automation, fatigue test
Abstract
Series of tests for compact tension-shear specimens was carried out. During the experiment the relationship between a crack size along curvilinear path and potential drop measurements on the crack flanks was obtained. A linear relationship between a drop potential signal and residual cross-section of test specimen was found. A new method for a mixed mode crack growth rate characteristics determination was proposed. Proposed algorithm can be applied when the crack path cannot be directly observed like tests at extremely high or extremely low temperature.

Abstract
For fuselage panels under internal pressure loading presents an analysis of the state of the damage zone at the crack tip. In the developed FEM meshes of the longitudinal and transverse frame structure introduced special set of finite elements for modeling cohesive zone at the crack tip. The calculations of the parameters of the stress strain state panel with rectilinear and curvilinear cracks was carried out, which resulted in the estimation of the influence of the cohesive zone in the distribution of strain energy density parameter.
