Many problems related to high-speed interaction with soil represent an interesting area of ​​research. For example, the fall of heavy objects on the ground surface not only creates a dynamic impact effect, but can also serve as an effective method of soil compaction under future foundations of buildings and structures. This process, along with the penetration of objects into the soil, poses new challenges for researchers. The most accurate results in these complex scenarios can be obtained by using a nonlinear dynamic formulation, which allows for a deeper understanding of the interaction mechanisms and ensures the reliability of structures under extreme loads. This requires using appropriate modeling approaches. In addition, under such an impact, the soil exhibits the properties of a liquid or gas, so it is necessary to use special soil models. The paper presents the main basic relationships and main parameters of soil models required for dynamic calculations of soils, which can be useful in modeling the operation of a soil massif in modern software packages.

The article is devoted to the analysis and optimization of the stability of engineering structures to wind loads through the use of innovative structures of support and anchor foundations. In modern construction, when the requirements for reliability and stability of buildings have increased, special attention is being paid to the development of effective foundations capable of withstanding both compressive and pulling loads. Support and anchor foundations are presented as a comprehensive solution, including combined anchors and a monolithic slab (grillwork), ensuring uniform load distribution. The main focus is on the combined anchor, which acts as the main working element that receives the forces from the structure and effectively transfers them to the ground. Unlike traditional piles, the proposed design significantly increases the resistance to pulling due to the use of wire anchors with high load-bearing capacity.

Polymer composite materials have been widely used in the construction industry. Currently, these materials are used to restore the operability of buildings and structures, regardless of their functional purpose. To date, the production process is carried out manually and in this regard, there is a need to develop tooling and organizational and technological methods to strengthen structures with polymer-composite materials that increase labor productivity.

One of the key parameters used to assess the magnitude of the individual fire risk based on the appropriate calculation methodology is the evacuation start time. To calculate it, there is a need for information about the time of reaching the threshold value of the fire detector, which can be determined on the basis of a fire simulation for the room in which the fire is located. At the same time, it is required to dynamically evaluate the size of the area at each point of which at the height of the location of fire detectors there is an excess of the threshold value of the acting parameter, which is a rather complex task, the solution of which requires the use of automation. This paper proposes a method for automated assessment of the time for reaching the threshold value of the fire detector response based on the results of fire modeling when determining the calculated values of the individual fire risk. Functional model and basic algorithm of the proposed technology are presented. The developed methodology was tested using the example of modeling a fire in a commercial building based on the FDS software kernel for various scenarios. The results of a comparative analysis of solving the problems of estimating the time for reaching the threshold value of fire detectors for various criteria based on the proposed technology and manual method are presented.

The problem of modeling the dynamics and control of a quadrotor using a cascade control system based on a proportional‐integral‐derivative controller is considered. The main subject of the study is the development and simulation of a system that ensures the stable positioning of the quadrotor in the presence of external disturbances and limitations in the dynamic characteristics of the vehicle. The object of the research is the quadrotor as an unmanned aerial vehicle, while the subject is the cascade control system comprising an outer controller responsible for correcting position errors and an inner controller that maintains the stability of the vehicle’s orientation. The aim of the study is to create a mathematical model of the quadrotor’s dynamics and to implement a cascade control algorithm capable of converting position errors into control commands for adjusting the tilt angles. The work employs methods of mathematical modeling, discrete integration of the equations of motion, and cascade control algorithms implemented in MATLAB software. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed control system significantly reduces the discrepancy between the current position of the vehicle and the specified target point, ensuring flight stability. However, residual errors have been identified, which are associated with the approximated models of motor dynamics and limitations on the maximum tilt angle, thereby necessitating further optimization of the control algorithms. The main conclusion of the study is that the developed cascade control system represents an effective solution for improving the positioning accuracy of the quadrotor and opens prospects for further research in the control of unmanned aerial vehicles

In this paper, an inverse wavelet image transform method for JPEG XS format is proposed. The said format uses Le Gall wavelet filter and the lifting scheme is used as a wavelet transform. This method of wavelet processing of images and video signal has low computation speed. To improve the computation speed, it is proposed to use the Winograd method as this method allows parallel processing of groups of pixels. The paper analyses the impact of accuracy in obtaining high quality image for fixed point format computation. The simulation results show that processing of 2 pixels using Winograd's method is sufficient to use 3 decimal places to obtain high quality image. When processing 3 and 4 pixels of the image it is sufficient to use 7 decimal places each. When processing 5 pixels of the image it is enough to use 12 decimal places. A promising direction for further research is the development of hardware accelerators for performing the inverse discrete wavelet transform by the Winograd method.

The process of ensuring information security is inextricably linked with the assessment of compliance with the requirements. In the field of information protection, this process is called an information security audit. Currently, there are many international and domestic audit standards that describe various processes and methods for assessing compliance with requirements. One of the key drawbacks of these standards is the use of exclusively qualitative assessment without numerical calculations, which in turn does not allow making the procedure the most objective. The use of fuzzy logic allows providing the audit process with an appropriate quantitative assessment, while operating with understandable linguistic variables. The article analyzes existing standards and presents a conceptual model for applying the fuzzy set method in the process of information security audit.
