The paper describes the software of the system for profiling the actions of users of the information system. This profiling system is aimed at solving the problem of trust in users of information systems. The system should regulate access to protected resources by analyzing user behavior. The algorithmic component of the system is represented by a user behavior model and a general system operation algorithm. The user behavior model is based on the apparatus of Markov chains Software implementation allows in practice to obtain the foundations of the proposed approach to work. At the development stages, the choice of software architecture is carried out. The client-server architecture was chosen as a reasonable decision. The software component of the user activity profiling system consists of five separate software modules. At the end of development, a brief testing of the components is carried out. The novelty of this work lies in the proposal of an approach that uses the profiling of user actions as an additional determining factor in managing access to objects, as a way to strengthen the basic measures “Controlling access of subjects to access objects” in the order system of FSTEC of Russia.

Plates, beams and shells with a non-uniform and micro-uniform regular structure are widely used in aviation and rocket and space technology. In calculating the strength of elastic composite structures using the finite element method (FEM) it is important to know the error of the approximate solution for finding where you need to build a sequence of approximate solutions that is connected with the procedure of crushing discrete models. Implementation of the procedure for grinding (within the micro-pass) discrete models of composite structures (bodies) requires large computer resources, especially for discrete models with a microinhomogeneous structure. In this paper, we propose a method of equivalent strength conditions (MESC) for calculating elastic bodies static strength with inhomogeneous and microinhomogeneous regular structures, which is implemented via FEM using multigrid finite elements. The calculation of composite bodies’ strength according to MESC is limited to the calculation of elastic isotropic homogeneous bodies strength using equivalent strength conditions, which are determined based on the strength conditions set for composite bodies. The MESC is based on the following statement. For all composite bodies $V_0$, which are such a homogeneous isotropic body $V^b$ and the number of $p$, if the safety factor $n_b$ of the body $V^b$ satisfies the equivalent conditions of strength $p{n}_1(1+{\delta }_{\alpha })\le n_b(1-{\delta }_{\alpha }^2)\le p{n}_2(1-{\delta }_{\alpha })$, the safety factor $n_0$ of the body $V_0$ meets the defined criteria for strength $n_1\le n_0\le n_2$, where $n_1$, $n_2$ specified, the safety factor $n_0\left(n_b\right)$ complies with the accurate (approximate) solution of elasticity theory problem is built for body $V_0$ (body $V^b$); ${\delta }_{\alpha }<(n_2-n_1)/(n_2+n_1)$; ${\delta }_{\alpha }$ is the upper ${\delta }_b$ error estimation of the maximum equivalent body stress $V^b$, corresponding to approximate solution. When constructing equivalent strength conditions, i. e when finding the equivalence $p$ coefficient, a system of discrete models is used, dimensions of which are smaller than the dimensions of the basic composite bodies models. The implementation of MESC requires small computer resources and does not use procedures for grinding composite discrete models. Strength calculations for bodies with a microinhomogeneous structure using MESC show its high efficiency. The main procedures for implementing the MESC are briefly described.

The problem of longitudinal-transverse deformation and strength of an orthotropic plate on the action of a local transverse force and stretching along the contour of the membrane forces is studied. The direction of laying the fiber of a unidirectional composite that provides the lowest level of stress and deflection is determined.

In the zone of application of concentrated force in thin-walled structures, significant bending moments and shear forces occur, which are a source of stress concentration. To reduce stresses, the method of plate tension by membrane forces applied along the contour is chosen. The maximum possible order of membrane tension forces is selected, which provides conditions for the strength and rigidity of the solar panel plate structure, which has a hinge-fixed support along the contour. Pre-tensioning the plate web allows to reduce the stress by 50 times.

The problem of compound bending of isotropic and anisotropic plates when applying transverse and selection of longitudinal loads, with restrictions on strength and stiffness, can be called a problem of rational design of the structure. The resulting equations and calculation program can be used in the design of plate structures, as well as in the educational process.

The issues of compatibility of correcting electric jet engines (EJE) and large-size transformable antennas (LTA) used in high-orbit communication satellites are considered. The paper deals with the erosive and polluting effect of EJE jets interacting with knitted mesh material (grid mesh), which is used for manufacturing LTA reflectors. The erosive effect of the EJE jets on the LTA mesh is characterized by the fact that the angles of ions incidence on the surface of the threads in the mesh are in the range from 0 to 90°, i. e. such effect takes place at practically any angle of ions incidence on the mesh surface. The research includes both mathematical description of physical processes and conducting a wide series of experiments, which makes it possible to achieve the necessary reliability of the results. It has been established that the effect of plasma jets of correcting engines can lead to significant sputtering of the reflecting coating from the surface of a large-size antenna reflector. The authors obtained experimental data on the degradation of the reflection coefficient of electromagnetic radiation from the mesh, depending on the degree of plasma jet influence.

It was found that the sputtering of reflecting coating from the surface of threads does not significantly affect the reflection coefficient. The sputtering of the coating at the points of threads contact is much more significant. Strong dependence of the reflection coefficient on the type of mesh weaving was also found. The mechanism of sputtering products deposition on reflecting coatings of the thermal control system radiators was investigated. The results of calculations of the sputtering coefficient and the sputtering indicatrix of the reflecting coating applied to the mesh threads were obtained. The degradation of the functional characteristics of thermoregulatory coatings (TRC) during the deposition of thin films of gold, which is one of the possible materials for a reflecting coating, was experimentally determined. Estimates of the maximum permissible level of TRC contamination were obtained. It is shown that, subject to the relevant design rules, it is possible to use EJE and LTA together in high-orbit communication satellites.

New materials for spacecraft radiation screens engineering require a fine classification of powder materials by particle size. The article concerns the construction of powder materials laboratory separator. This type of material separation is related to gravity methods. The Moseley laboratory separator serves as the prototype of the construction with table longitudinal shaking and diametrical vibrations by means of buffers during the separation process. The unbalanced oscillator yields deck separation surface harmonic vibrations in all directions. The unbalanced oscillator DC motor voltage control gradually alters the vibration frequency and supports finer separation of the material. A power pipe enables to conduct perpetual separation process. In prototype, in contrast, up to 100 g weight is processed for up to 5 minutes. To improve the materials fine and small classes separation efficiency, riffles are made on the separation surface, which determine the places of concentration of material particles. As a result of the conducted researches for elimination of the secondary circulation flows, a system of diametrical reefing is worked out: the riffle is approximately equal to the maximum particle size of the separated material and is equal to 0.2 mm in this construction; the distance between riffles is equal to 50 mm, the tilt angle is 80 degrees relative to the deck longitudinal side. The particle motion depends on the inclination angle of the separation surface. Large particles move upwards at angles of up to 5 degrees, and downwards at angles higher than 5 degrees. Vibration frequency and amplitude alteration, as well as adjusting the inclination angle of separation surface enables to move and adjust the speed of different properties and sizes of test material. The laboratory separator work is based on the physical effects, which enable to vary the location of the power pipe. This fact allows the construction to be adapted to a variety of specific conditions and expands the construction sphere. The separator construction is simple for production and operation, and can be quickly reconfigured if necessary. The separator portability allows it to be transported.

The purpose of this study is to test the possibility of using inorganic macroporous structures of inverse opal in sample preparation for scanning electron microscopy of biological objects.

As an absorbent substrate we used silica inverse opals prepared by a sol-gel method to study the biological objects. The process of manufacturing the inverse opal involves a complex multi-stage technological process. First, we synthesized submicron spherical particles from polymethylmethacrylate by the method of emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization of methylmethacrylate in an aqueous medium in the presence of a diazoinitiator. This method can be used to obtain an ensemble of particles with high monodispersity, the average size of which can vary in the range from 100 to 500 nm. Then, by self-assembly technique, we deposited the beads of polymethylmethacrylate into ordered matrices (templates), mainly with a face-centered cubic lattice. The resulting mesoporous structures, called artificial opals or colloidal crystals, had lateral dimensions of about 10 × 10 × 2 mm. Then we heat-treated the opals to 120 °C to harden the template before being impregnated with the precursor. Further, we impregnated the opals  with silica sol with a particle size distribution from 1 to 5 nm, obtained by hydrolysis of tetraethoxysilane in the presence of hydrochloric acid, and then, after curing and drying the impregnating composition in air at room temperature, we multi-stage fired them up to 550 °C at normal pressure in the air atmosphere to remove all organic components. As a result, the macroporous metamaterial (the so-called inverse opals) with an open system of pores up to 400 nm in size, occupying about 80 % of the volume, were obtained.

We studied lactic acid bacteria of cucumber brine and human red blood cells with TM4000 Plus, SU3500 and S-5500 scanning electron microscopes. Auxiliary substance for the sample preparation was ionic liquid VetexQ EM (Interlab LLC). We showed that it is possible to use the inverse opal as an absorbent substrate for sample preparation and rapid analysis in scanning electron microscopy without pre-drying, chemical treatment, or temperature exposure. To improve imaging in the electron microscope, we used sputter coater to cover the inverse opal surface with a thin film of platinum. The use of ionic liquid in combination with the absorbent porous medium allows preserving an original shape of the biological structures. Using the human red blood cells and lactic acid bacteria, we showed that it is possible to carry out of the morphological analysis of the cells using various scanning electron microscopes. We found that on the basis of the inverse opal, there is a fundamental possibility of creating the absorbent substrate suitable for repeated use in the study of the biological objects. At the same time, trace remnants of previous samples remaining after annealing the plate do not introduce significant distortions when conducting new series of observations. In this study, we obtained high-quality electronic micrographs of the biological objects with high resolution and contrast. At the same time, due to the use of the inverse opals as the absorbent substrate, time and financial costs for research are reduced.
