NEW CONCEPTION ED 2025

The ENERGYDURABILITY website was created on 01.07.2014. Over the past ten years, it has introduced you to the structural-energetic kinetic theory of strength of solids. The theory originates from the kinetic concept of strength of solids obtained for constant stresses, created by Academician Zhurkov of the USSR. The concept opened a fundamentally new approach to solving problems of strength and durability of materials. In 1982, in the research organization of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR, I studied the concept. Work on the creation of a new method for calculating fatigue under constant shock waves allowed me to expand the possibilities of applying the concept. Using a joint analysis of two recognized experiments on durability and Zhurkov's formula, I obtained a physical equation for calculating the strength and durability of materials under variable stresses and an arbitrary temperature.

Since 1992 I have been an independent researcher. Physically and analytically substantiated the main molar kinetic parameters of materials, they are proposed a priori in the concept. Then I substantiated the boundary conditions for the obtained equation, formulated analytical conditions for the destruction of the material, applicable to this equation. I proposed an experimental-analytical method for calculating the initial physical molar parameters of the material (boundary conditions of the equation), for this I used the analysis of the process of uniaxial stretching of the sample until failure. On this basis, I developed an analytical method and a program for calculating standard parameters of strength, fatigue, durability (analytically proposed virtual standard tests of the material). I developed a method for calculating the time to failure for an arbitrary specified rate of stress growth, for different frequencies and amplitudes of stress, under different temperatures.

For the effective application of new physical methods for solving practical problems of strength, durability, brittleness of materials, over the past ten years I have developed a physical theory of hardness. It uses a new analytical tool, a new method for testing the physical and mechanical parameters of a material. The method is based on the physical analytical analysis of the force kinetic diagram F (h) of indentation of materials. The physical method of analysis and the theory of indentation are based on a universal physical characteristic - the volume derivative of the specific energy of a deformed solid, also called the generalized specific power of the process of changing the shape during indentation, or briefly - the physical hardness of the material. The new characteristic and function are universal, applicable simultaneously to the analysis of the process under uniaxial tension of a solid. As a result of these studies, a new concept was theoretically and experimentally substantiated, a characteristic - the physical hardness of a material, the standard function and hardness number, an equivalent term - the function of the specific power of irreversible changing the shape of the material. This is a new universal physical and mechanical characteristic of the state of a material during its deformation and destruction; analytically, it is connected with the usual empirical standard parameters of
hardness number, tensile strength, etc.

As a result of this work, I wrote a monograph: PHYSICAL THEORY OF HARDNESS. FUNCTION, CALCULATION METHODS, INDENTATION.

As a result of the work done, it was possible to substantiate the physical model of a deformed solid and a universal method for analyzing and determining the physical and mechanical properties and parameters of the state of a material. In the physical theory of strength, a deformable solid is a torsion field of energy and power in some physical space (volume). A deformable solid is an associated motion and transformation of a macroscopic number of elementary stable states of the internal energy of a body, this is a set of quasiparticles, vortices, waves of motion, transformation, oscillations, translation, rotation of the parameters of the specific power of internal energy. These elementary states of energy form various dissipative structures of the body, with different physical parameters. A similar physical picture of the state of internal energy is well known in the theory of electromagnetic fields. Briefly, we can say the following: strength and hardness are the specific volumetric or molar power of elementary irreversible STRUCTURAL-ENERGY processes, states in a DEFORMED SOLID body.

Thus, physical strength is a structural-energetic, rheological, kinetic theory of deformation, shape change and destruction of solids.

The main theses and results of the theory are confirmed by a systemic physical analysis of recognized simple experiments, analytical physical calculations of STANDARD AND NEW UNIVERSAL PHYSICAL PARAMETERS AND CHARACTERISTICS OF STRENGTH, fatigue, durability of MATERIALS. Physical theory supplements (does not abolish) recognized empirical methods, characteristics and parameters of the state of solids, materials science, but suggests using new universal physical methods, parameters, etc.

Previous theoretical results, methods, etc. published ON THE ENERGYDURABILITY SITE before 2022 require additions and corrections to many concepts, designations, definitions, etc. have changed. These works will be consistently carried out within the framework of NEW CONCEPTION - ED, but the originals are stored in the archive of the first version of the site.
