  • Development of a new mathematical method for modeling a modified radial bearing design taking into account nonlinear factors

    This paper proposes a mathematical model of the laminar flow of a truly viscous lubricant in the clearance of a radial plain bearing with a nonstandard support profile. The influence of a fluoroplastic-containing polymer coating and a groove on the shaft surface is considered, taking into account nonlinear effects, which improves the accuracy of the description of hydrodynamic processes. Thin-film approximations and continuity equations are used to determine the hydrodynamic pressure, load capacity, and friction coefficient. A comparison with existing calculation models demonstrated improved performance prediction. The results demonstrate the feasibility of ensuring stable shaft floatation, confirming the applicability of the developed model for engineering calculations of bearings with a polymer coating and a groove.

  • The influence of the state of inter-slab joints of floors on the deformability of multi-story braced frames

    This article presents a practical approach to the design of precast concrete frame buildings based on a developed methodology for accounting for the flexibility of joints between floor and roof elements, using a plate-and-rod model of a floor fragment. For two types of braced frames (with symmetrical and asymmetrical stiffener arrangements), an analysis of quantitative indicators of deformability and relative forces is presented, with reduction factors applied to the integral rigidity of the precast floor in its plane, obtained using the proposed methodology. This analysis compares this approach to the classical approach to designing precast frames, taking into account the rigidity of monolithic floors. The results of the calculation of frames using the proposed method show that with a decrease in the rigidity of the floors (reducing to equivalent rigidity, taking into account the flexibility of the seams in the joints of the floors), the vertical forces in the columns from horizontal loads decrease, and the moments in the stiffening diaphragms increase, that is, in the frame structures, both reserves and deficiencies in the bearing capacity can be identified, which is especially important during the inspection and subsequent reconstruction of buildings with the structural system under consideration.

  • The complex effect of carbon modifiers and magnetic treatment on the mobility and strength of fine-grained concrete

    The article presents the compositions and technology of preparation of fine-grained concrete using modifying additives and superplasticizers. It is proposed to use waste from thermal power plants in the form of carbon black as a modifying additive. Depending on the amount of soot, parameters of the mobility of the mixture and indicators of compressive and flexural strength were determined. The optimal consumption of soot waste in the amount of 1.0% of the binder weight was established, at which the maximum parameters of the mobility of the mixture and the strength of fine-grained concrete were obtained. The complex effect of soot waste and super-plasticizer on the change in the physical and mechanical properties of concrete is considered. The combined use of soot and a plasticizing additive in a 1:1 ratio contributed to an increase in the mobility and tensile strength of the hardened fine-grained concrete during compression and flexural stress. The method of electromagnetic activation in a linear induction rotator was used to prepare dry mixtures.

  • Multi-object visual-inertial odometry system for an unmanned vehicle

    This paper is devoted to the construction of a visual-inertial odometry system for an unmanned vehicle using both binocular cameras and inertial sensors as an information source, which would be able to simultaneously determine the vehicle's own position and the relative position of other road users. To ensure accurate and continuous localization, it is proposed to use an inertial navigation system and two types of image keypoints. Deep learning models are used to accurately and reliably track keypoints. To achieve efficient and reliable matching of objects between two frames, a multi-level data association mechanism is proposed that takes into account possible errors of various system components. The experimental results demonstrate the feasibility and application potential of the proposed system.

  • Analysis of organizational and technological aspects of building diagnostics as a factor in improving the quality of construction products throughout the entire life cycle of the facility

    This article evaluates various methods for determining the technical condition of structures, buildings and structures. To date, probabilistic (statistical) methods are considered to be one of the possible options for determining the degree of destruction of building structures. The advantage of these methods is the ability to comprehensively take into account the parameters present in a variety of material nature. This is due to the possibility of describing them in dimensionless quantities. The purpose of the method under consideration is to formulate a certain number of technical conditions (events) through which it is planned to determine the degree of destruction and find a set of technical conditions of building structures. Diagnostic matrices are created by combining diagnostic features and their conditional probabilities, acquired by analyzing a large amount of accumulated statistical data.

  • Robust visual-inertial odometry system for unmanned vehicles

    This paper is devoted to the construction of a robust visual-inertial odometry system for an unmanned vehicle using binocular cameras and inertial sensors as information sources.The system is based on a modified structure of the VINS-FUSION system. Two types of feature points and matching methods are used to better balance the quantity and quality of tracking points. To filter out incorrect matches of key points, it is proposed to use several different methods. Semantic and geometric information are combined to quickly remove dynamic objects. Keypoints of static objects are used to complement the tracking points. A multi-layer optimization mechanism is proposed to fully utilize all point matchings and improve the accuracy of motion estimation. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the system.

  • Search for exploits based on file hash analysis using neural networks

    The purpose of the article: to determine the possibility of using file hash analysis using artificial neural networks to detect exploits in files. Research method: the search for exploits in files is carried out based on the analysis of Windows registry file hashes obtained by two hashing algorithms SHA-256 and SHA-512, using three types of artificial neural networks (direct propagation, recurrent, convolutional). The obtained result: the use of artificial neural networks in file hash analysis allows us to identify exploits or malicious records in files; the performance (accuracy) of artificial neural networks of direct propagation and with recurrent architecture are comparable to each other and are much more productive than convolutional neural networks; the longer the length of the file hash, the more reliably it is to identify an exploit in the file

  • Vectorial Diffraction Model for Focusing a Gaussian Laser Beam by a Parabolic Metallic Mirror

    A vectorial diffraction model is presented for the focusing of a Gaussian laser beam with a wavelength of 800 nm by a parabolic metallic mirror with a diameter of 15 mm and a focal length of 150 mm. The model is based on a rigorous calculation of the reflected electromagnetic field using s- and p-polarization basis functions, complex Fresnel coefficients, and the Kirchhoff–Rayleigh surface integral. The reflective coating is characterized by a complex refractive index n = 0.145 + 4.5i, corresponding to silver in the near-infrared spectral range. The incident beam has a waist radius of 3 mm at the mirror’s vertex plane. The field distribution in the focal plane is numerically computed on a 300×300 grid over a ±30 μm region. Focus quality is evaluated using three criteria: total intensity, radial intensity distribution, and the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the focal spot. A focal spot with FWHM ≈ 8.56 μm is obtained, in close agreement with the theoretical diffraction-limited estimate. The results demonstrate that accounting for the vectorial nature of the field and the dissipative properties of the metal enables accurate prediction of polarization distortions and energy losses in practical mirror-based focusing systems.
