Advanced System Development Technologies III

This book continues a distinguished series showcasing cutting edge research in instrument engineering, uniting three major scientific directions developed at the Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute: optoelectronic technologies, medical technologies, and technological support systems. This book presents a rich collection of interdisciplinary studies that bridge theoretical foundations with practical engineering solutions, offering readers a comprehensive view of modern system development. The first part, Optoelectronic Technologies, explores advanced methods for designing optical sights for small arms and for capturing digital images under extreme brightness conditions. It introduces practical toolkits for comparing telescopic and collimator sight configurations, engineering techniques for monoblock optical systems, and strategies for minimizing parallactic errors. The second part, Medical Technologies, highlights innovative approaches to non destructive testing, thermal property measurement, and biomechanical and physiological monitoring. It presents the use of high intensity acoustic waves to detect structural defects in heterogeneous materials, demonstrating how nonlinear acoustic responses reveal hidden flaws. These studies combine experimental validation with computational modeling, offering robust methodologies for next generation diagnostic and measurement systems. The third part, Technological Support, focuses on ensuring the reliability and safety of complex engineering structures and autonomous systems. It provides analytical and experimental insights into protecting cylindrical welded tanks from extreme wind loads, including the design and evaluation of passive deflector systems. Additionally, it presents advanced mathematical modeling of NO2 air pollution using cyclostationary time series analysis, linking traffic related emissions with statistical dynamics to improve urban air quality monitoring and forecasting. Bringing together optical engineering, acoustic diagnostics, thermal measurement, structural safety, autonomous navigation, and environmental modeling, this book reflects the broad scientific expertise of KPI researchers. This book is an essential resource for engineers, researchers, developers, and graduate students seeking modern methodologies and practical solutions across multiple domains of system development.
