  • Hybrid fiber-reinforced concrete (HFRC)for aerodrome pavements: technical feasibility and life-cycle cost analysis

    Abstract: The scope of applying fiber-reinforced concrete in critical load-bearing structures, such as aerodrome pavements, is often limited by insufficient information regarding material behavior and life-cycle economics. This study addresses this gap by developing and evaluating an optimal hybrid mix of micro and macro-basalt fibers consisting of 1.5% and 0.5% of cement mass, respectively for high-performance airfield concrete, followed by a 30-year Life-Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA). Mechanical testing confirmed the technical feasibility, showing significant performance gains over baseline concrete: 14.5% increase in compressive strength 72.8MPa and 18.2% increase in flexural strength 10.4MPa. These gains are attributed to enhanced durability, multi-scale crack control, and superior post-crack load-carrying capacity. The LCCA, conducted using a 6% discount rate, revealed that the hybrid option, which incurs a 13.03% higher upfront material cost, is economically viable only under the optimistic scenario where the improved durability eliminates the need for major rehabilitation over 30 years. This scenario yields a marginal LCC saving of 4% compared to the baseline. In conservative and moderate scenarios, the upfront cost outweighed the delayed or reduced rehabilitation costs. Overall, Hybrid Basalt Fiber Reinforced Concrete is a promising high-performance material that achieves cost parity if its durability benefits are maximized to prevent major rehabilitation. Future work should involve field trials and expanded LCCA incorporating operational downtime and risk-based performance modeling.

  • Sybil Attack Protection Without Cryptographic Key Distribution

    The relevance of this article stems from the need to develop lightweight and scalable solutions for decentralized systems (blockchain, IoT), where traditional cryptographic methods are inefficient or excessive. A theoretical-practical method for protecting unmanned transportation systems against Sybil attacks has been developed, based on a server robot’s analysis of each client robot’s unique directional electromagnetic signal power map signature. Experimental solutions for Sybil attack protection are demonstrated using two aerial servers deployed on quadcopters. The proposed keyless Sybil attack defense method utilizes WiFi signal parameter analysis (e.g., power scattering and variable antenna radiation patterns) to detect spoofed client robots. Experiments confirm that monitoring unique radio channel characteristics effectively limits signature forgery. This physical-layer approach is also applicable to detecting packet injection in robot Wi-Fi networks. The key advantages of the developed method include the elimination of cryptography, reducing computational overhead; the use of physical signal parameters as a "fingerprint" for legitimate devices; and the method's scalability to counter other threats, such as traffic injection.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.
