Study on the Operating Performance of Gear System based on Size Effect by Zhang Guozhi

“…With micro-plastic-mechanics theory and FEM（ finite element method）,the performance of a pair of micro gears mechanism is studied.The elastic-plastic finite element computation format based on the size effect is established and put into effect with UPFs（ User-programmable features） in ANSYS.This computation format is verified through comparing the micro-indention experiment of the polycrystalline copper with the computation results with FEM.Considering the size effect of the micro asperity,the influence of the micro geometric features（ burrs and roughness） in the manufacturing errors of gears on the performance of this mechanism is studied with substructure FEM with computation program.The basis is supported for the mechanical trace failure analysis of gear mechanism through the study and the computation efficiency and the accuracy of the simulation is improved.…”

The European Union’s Policies Towards Iraq (2014–2020) by L. D. Oganisyan

“…However, these efforts have not yet been explored in depth by the Russian experts, who traditionally focus on the EU relations with the Southern Mediterranean countries.The author aims to reveal the logic behind the evolution of the European Union’s policy towards Iraq since 2014, as well as its impact on the EU assistance programmes to this country. The paper consists of three sections: the first one outlines the evolution of the EU strategic priorities in Iraq during 2014–2019, the second covers the major assistance programmes implemented by the European Union, both bilaterally and multilaterally, in Iraq; the third examines the EU reaction to the rising tensions in Iraq at the turn of 2019–2020.The author concludes that the EU’s growing interest in Iraq in recent years stems not only from concerns about transformation of this country into a source of cross-border challenges and threats, but also from the conviction of the EU officials that Iraq might potentially become the cornerstone of a new regional security architecture. …”
