Scientists of the Military Academy presented a collapsible bridge from composite materials at the Moscow exhibition

At the Archimedes-2016 Innovation and Innovation Salon in Moscow, scientists from the Military Academy of Material and Technical Support (IA MTO) presented a road bridge made of polymer composite materials (ARM-K), RIA News a message from the head of the academy, Vladimir Ivanovsky. By virtue of its special properties, the product is called the “invisible bridge”.

At the International Salon of Inventions and Innovative Technologies "Archimedes-2016".

“The project of a road collapsible bridge ARM-K, intended for the erection of new and restoration of destroyed bridges on highways in a short time, embodied the innovative developments of scientists VA MTO. Structural elements of the bridge, made of polymer composite materials, can significantly reduce the radar visibility of the crossing, thereby increasing the survivability of bridges on military highways, ”said Ivanovsky.

According to him, “the use of innovative materials has reduced the total mass of the folding bridge, increased the load capacity and the span length, and also reduced the number of personnel and equipment for transporting and assembling the bridge.”

“Also at the salon, officers of the IA MTO will present many other unique inventions and technical solutions. This is a collapsible small-field kitchen "five in one", designed for cooking hot food and boiling water for small units of military personnel in difficult climatic conditions, the emergency rescue system of the crew tankdesigned to save the lives of servicemen in the event of a war machine flooding, a universal rotating container tank designed for accelerated unloading of bulk cargo, and more, ”said the head of the academy.

Ivanovsky noted that “over the past year, 66 research teams of the Academy carried out major research projects commissioned by the RF Ministry of Defense and enterprises of the Russian military-industrial complex, over 100 patents and decisions on granting patents for inventions were received, about 1,000 rationalization proposals were made.

Many "samples of promising equipment and equipment developed within the walls of the academy, are now successfully passing practical and military tests," he added.

Salon "Archimedes" is held in the Russian Federation with 1998 g and gathers on its platforms both Russian and foreign inventors.

Well, engineering units in a modern war will play a huge, if not decisive role. So let the scientists continue to work with the same success. Good luck!

Good practice is returning not to be postponed until later, but checked in practical decisions and conditions.

Well, you got excited about the decisive one.
Communication is the decisive role!
But no, the Airborne Forces - no one but them!
No, VKS!
No, the Navy!
No, cyber troops!
Her ...!
Joke!
All fingers together - One fist!
PS: of course, it’s impossible without engineer troops!
Without bridges, Without pontoons (pontoon bridges)!
And composite, in general - will fly away! (as in advertising, oxymoron)

[Mintai]

It’s a pity to Bandera’s to tears ... So much has already been dug up and all in vain, well, we are cursed! So we mock Ukraine

[Prisoner]

Come on. The final word for the infantry. So it was, is and will be.

[Sweles]

and where is the bridge?

Quote: Sveles

and where is the bridge?

1. It was presented only project (not a mockup, but on paper) of the ARM-K collapsible bridge from VA MTO
2.All the same

only from polymer composite materials in some places.

in general, the "quality" of the presentation of the material of the author of the article "touches" ....
poked the photo into an article, generally off topic, and not from Archimedes-2016



what about compositional bridges

We can work not only with our fists, but also with our heads.

[AdekvatNICK]

I think you need not to ignore the technology of industrial 3D printers

[newcomer]

our scientists are worthy heirs of Lomonosov, Mendeleev, Popov ... excellent developments and discoveries worthy for our army of the 21st century.

[Samen]

Plastic bridge? And why not, in the Century of polymer materials and titanium alloys ...
I like the idea.

[nazar_0753]

Lightweight, durable and durable. In the end, why not?)

[Maxom75]

issue price and service life? Polymers are not resistant to heat and solar radiation - these factors significantly reduce the service life of products. How was this issue resolved? I don’t understand this. Resistance to dynamic loads (blast wave)? So far there are more questions than answers. And it makes sense to make it out of composites, if there is a development of aluminum alloys and, in my opinion, boron (our scientist in Novosibirsk at the Research Institute), the alloy behaves very positively, the strength of the material obtained is 3 times higher than the strength of steel with the same weight as aluminum.

[dchegrinec]

The time of application of composite materials is still quite short. Similar materials tend to break down in sunlight, so as for the bridge, it is not clear for how long it can be designed.

Today I watched a story in the news: a bridge collapsed in the Amur Region, now a bridge-building battalion is engaged in the construction of a new one. The battalion commander said that over the course of 3 weeks, the bridge had a carrying capacity of up to 60 tons. During regular inspections and maintenance, the bridge will last for several years, well, it’s kind of temporary. Next, the correspondent says that civil builders will build a capital bridge within 3 years. The military and civilian bridge did not say anything about the cost, but I think the military will be cheaper, not to mention the timing. If the military builds a bridge within weeks, and civil years, then it may be better to transfer civilian builders to the army will be more useful? And the main thing in the area of ​​bridges by all means ordinary to this com Batu. He will teach him how to build bridges quickly and cheaply.

[Maxom75]

My grandfather built bridges all his life and at the time of delivery he always stood on a barge under the bridge with those who built it. Until they surrendered the bridge, they stood below. If that everyone who built along with the bridge to the bottom. Now they are building anyhow. My grandfather’s daughter (my aunt) is an engineer checking the quality of construction of bridges and tunnels, so every second she rejected back in the 80s for the discrepancy between the quality of materials laid down in the projects. She said that the concrete is of the wrong quality, the terms do not stand up, the technology is being violated, the reinforcement is being prepared with violations, besides it is stolen like bastards.

During regular inspections and maintenance, the bridge will last for several years, well, it’s kind of temporary. Further on the plot, the correspondent says that civil builders will build a major bridge in 3 years. They did not say anything about the cost of the military and civil bridge, but I think the military will be cheaper, not to mention the timing.

In our village there is a bridge 10 meters long on the channel between the lakes which the military used to repair, since it is located on one of the two roads that were used as a reserve for the military unit. The bridge is wooden and therefore requires constant repair, and now the military unit has become it’s not needed, because it’s not on the main road. Now the problem of the bridge has become before the administration of the village, but only for the project of the bridge they ask 2 million (to drive 2-4 piles and make the flooring)

[Maxom75]

send all the designers, chip in the whole village and drive in piles, lay concrete products and weld the fence. In a neighboring village they did so. The commission arrived, decided to demolish the squad. The villagers came out with a pitchfork, shovels, rakes. Two tractors with forks fitted. The Commission adopted a new decision - to legalize, to live hotz.)) I share my experience. By the way, the bridge costs 7 years and nothing.

[Smoked]

That's all they just need to not build roads.

[hartlend]

But what if we introduce these bridges in civilian life?

[costolom]

I do not agree at all for bridges in our country ... "Siberia" and "Far East" contribute more than half of the GDP to the budget. But they are building 19 km to Crimea. bridge in three years, and in "Primorye" it is "Far East" 100 meters (well, maybe a little more) bridge across the river (which according to the news seems to have collapsed) will be built the same ... Why ?? Where's the justice? And gasoline is the most expensive, although the plant is right in the city (Komsomolsk on the Amur, I'm just from him), in "Siberia" a little cheaper, where is the logic, who will explain ?? So the people will surely rise soon, so it was so with Chechnya, they took everything from them, and now "Respublika", they themselves give as much as they want, but from us "Siberia" and "D-Vostok" take everything away, then they see how much back for development, we will give 10% or 20% of what was taken ...

[Maxom75]

I absolutely agree that the Far East, like other regions, is not funding enough. You are not looking at the bridge to the Crimea, but at a km of the road in Moscow, this is where one street is paved so that the city of thousands of 300 inhabitants can be covered with asphalt. Rossneft, Gazprom, Rusal, Norilsk Nickel and other companies pay taxes to the city budget of Moscow. interestingly they produce aluminum in Moscow, maybe in Moscow they produce oil or gas? I remember how they proposed to pay taxes at the place of work, so Sobyanin was wailing about the lost income, but other regions do not need this money? They built one tunnel in Moscow, so the cost of the tunnel is the 50 year budget of my city for the construction of roads. You look at the Volgograd roads, here as if after the Germans in 1943 no one did the road here. The best hedgehog car in town is a tank.

Thanks for your understanding and examples! I thought one I think so ..
