This article investigates the temperature distribution over the thickness of the elements when welding tee joints with fillet welds. The temperature was measured by thermocouples with corresponding readings recorded on an oscilloscope. At the same time 6 thermocouples were recorded, which made it possible to trace the entire process of temperature change (the process of heating and cooling) and to determine the maximum temperature at the points under study. The experimental results were compared with the calculated temperature values. Comparison of the experimental data with the calculation results showed quite satisfactory agreement what makes it possible to use the theory of heat propagation in welding by N.N. Rykalin to the design of temperature in tee joints when welding fillet welds.

We have carried out the analysis on the scientific and technological literature on methods of calculation and analysis of the x-ray diffraction, x-ray absorption and Raman spectra used to analyse the structure of the materials for hydrogen storage under realistic operating conditions. The simulations were carried out for the series of small palladium nanoclusters with embedded hydrogen. Multiscale computer modelling was used to simulate the dynamics of structure of the materials during charge/discharge phases.
