The development of modern technology makes increasingly stringent requirements for materials, and improving the reliability and durability is an urgent task for many industries. One of the most important elements of the automatic coupling device of the car is the absorbing device. The parts included in it must meet high standards, be reliable and provide the necessary hardness and mechanical properties of the materials throughout the life cycle of the car. One of these parts included in the friction unit of the absorbing device is a movable plate. In the present work, an example of modernization of the absorbing apparatus through the use of modern methods of modeling and manufacturing of a fixed plate is given. The technical result is to reduce consumption of materials of the movable plate, and to simplify the manufacturing process of the plate by making it from rolled steel.

The article provides a solution a schedule generation problem for the timber transportation, a description of the problem is given, and a multi-criteria mathematical model is created. It is indicated that the task in question can be assigned to the class of vehicle routing problems in the general formulation of GVRP related to the job-shop scheduling.

Assessment of influence of speech intelligibility and reverberation time on the quality of acoustics Determination by theoretical method and computer simulation method of reverberation time in the modern audience and the audience, built more than 10 years ago. Determination of sound absorption coefficients of surface materials in both classrooms. Modernize of classrooms using wood fiber panels to increase sound absorption and reduce reverberation time.

This paper presents two methods of computer simulation (quantum chemical analysis and molecular dynamics) of the interaction of additives with the iron surface. Quantum chemical interaction of silicate and phosphate additives with iron surface was carried out. The plate model was used for quantum chemical analysis, calculations were carried out in the DFT approximation. The method of molecular dynamics is based on the calculation of the evolution of the system of interacting particles of atoms and molecules by integrating the equations of their motion. It is shown that the oxidation of the surface leads to a decrease in the adhesion energy of both individual additives and their combinations, allowing to find the influencing factors on the behavior of tribosystems.

The problem of calibration of a three-axis acceleration sensor is considered. A number of measurements obtained with the sensor at its different orientations in space are used as initial data for calibration. It is assumed that the sensor is stationary for each orientation variant. The measurement data are averaged at each static sensor position, and the averaged results are used as parameters in a system of nonlinear equations that are solved by the Levenberg-Marquardt method. The results of the proposed method in the article are presented in the experiment with a real sensor, which allows to check its effectiveness.

The article deals with the issues of impact interaction of particles with layers of dispersed material of different thickness. The influence of the interaction velocity and the thickness of the substrate on the appearance and structure of the collision result is investigated. It is established that at low speeds there is a crater formation while the particle is on the substrate surface. With the growth of the interaction rate, the formation of a crown is observed, and particles penetrate into the substrate material. Experimentally determined the values of the velocity and thickness of the substrate, corresponding to the beginning of the formation of the crown.

The article substantiates the necessity of obtaining the dielectric properties of grain materials for studying the processes of microwave convective heat treatment of grain. The shortcomings of the existing methods for studying dielectric properties in the study of a fluidized bed and suspended layer are described. A laboratory installation and an experiment on the investigation of a suspended grain layer are described. The results of experimental studies on the determination of the dielectric loss factor of wheat subjected to microwave treatment are presented. The results obtained for different material densities correspond to the general dynamics, but differ significantly in level. Thus, for a dense layer, which corresponds to a density of 660 kg / m3 in the humidity range of 11-30%, the dielectric loss coefficient varies in the range 0.18-0.42; for the fluidized bed (440 kg / m3) 0.06-0.15; for the weighed (220 kg / m3) 0,1-0,3.
