  • Synthesis of a non-stationary automatic braking control system for vehicle wheels

    The paper considers the synthesis of a non-stationary automatic control system for braking the wheels of a heavy vehicle using the generalized Galerkin method. The research method under consideration is used to solve the problem of synthesizing a non-stationary system whose desired program motion is specified at the output of a nonlinear element. The paper presents the results of studying the impact of non-stationarity on the parameters of the fixed part of the system (object) on the deterioration of the quality of the transient process. For critical operating conditions, the parameters of the controller were recalculated, and the results of accounting for non-stationarity and re-synthesis were evaluated.

  • Development of a new mathematical method for modeling a modified radial bearing design for estimating the coefficient of friction and load capacity

    The article proposes the development of a mathematical model that includes an integrated approach to modeling the interaction of surfaces, taking into account the geometric features of the groove. An important aspect of the novelty of the work is its validation based on experimental data. To describe the movement of the lubricant in the working gap, a model is used that describes the movement of a truly viscous lubricant, including the continuity equation. The calculations and experiments performed have confirmed the adequacy of the proposed model, which indicates the possibility of its practical application for engineering analysis and design. The results of this work made it possible to improve the understanding of the mechanism of movement of the lubricant in radial sliding bearings having a polymer coating with an axial groove on the shaft surface. Studies have also shown that the presence of a groove on the shaft surface affects the pressure distribution, which, in turn, affects the tribotechnical parameters of the bearing. The introduction of the groove helps to distribute the lubricant more efficiently over the working gap, increase the bearing capacity of the bearing, reduce the coefficient of friction and reduce wear on the contact surfaces.

  • 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 Western Influence on the architecture of multi-functional hotel structures in post-colonial cities: A case study of “City” and “Cape Sierra” hotel in Freetown, Sierra Leone

    This study's objective is to assess the extent to which Western architecture influences the design of hotel structures in post-colonial cities using Freetown as a case study. Using a qualitative approach, this study draws on historical records of post-colonial hotel buildings, interviews with architects, and employs a comparative case study to compare colonial hotel projects in Freetown. Most hotels built after colonization still maintained properties of Western influence. Some designs were transcended by architects, others by the owners of the projects themselves, asking architects to replicate the same designs they saw abroad.   Theoretically this study suggests and provides evidence of a borrowed model of architecture of hotels largely influenced by western architectural design styles for which this is not sustainable and Sierra Leone needs to find its own architectural language. This research adds to the cultural theory of transcending architecture, where hotels built in a post-colonial era still retain designs passed on from colonial masters. Not enough research has examined the postcolonial effects on the architecture of hotels in past colonized cities.

  • Adaptive Design in Construction as a Basis for Life Safety in the Special Military Operation Zone

    The article examines the features of adaptive design in construction as a fundamental component for ensuring life safety in the zone of a special military operation. The modern world is changing at an incredible pace: climate anomalies are becoming more frequent, technological paradigms are being replaced within years, and social and economic conditions are undergoing constant transformations. Nowhere are these challenges manifested as acutely and concentratedly as in the zone of a special military operation (SMO). It is precisely here that the traditional approach to construction, focused on creating static, "frozen" objects, proves not only ineffective but also dangerous. It is being replaced by adaptive design – a philosophy and methodology that views a building or infrastructure object not as a final product, but as a living, evolving organism capable of evolving in response to direct threats and changing operational conditions. Adaptive design is a strategy for creating architectural objects and urban planning systems that can be easily modified, transformed, or repurposed in response to changes in external or internal conditions. In peacetime, this is a response to changing markets and technologies. In the zone of a special military operation, it is a matter of ensuring life safety. This is not simply post-factum repair or reconstruction, but the inherent ability of an object to instantly change its function and protective properties without radical rebuilding. The experience of the special military operation zone has openly proven that adaptive design is not an abstract idea from construction textbooks, but a critically important discipline upon which people's lives and the success of the assigned task depend. The principles of flexibility, modularity, and multifunctionality that are being tested today in extreme conditions will tomorrow become the new standard for the entire construction complex of the Russian Federation. They will form the basis for the restoration of cities, the creation of sustainable civil infrastructure, and the formation of new, anti-crisis architecture capable of withstanding the challenges of both wartime and peacetime. In the zone of a special military operation, architectural heritage is being tested and created, which will remain functional, in demand, and sustainable tomorrow. The future of construction belongs to those who design not for years, but for possibilities.

  • Projective parameters identification of a DC motor with independent excitation an adaptive mathematical model

    The article considers the parameter identification issues of linear non-stationary dynamic systems adaptive models using the example of a linearized adjustable model of a DC motor with independent excitation. A new method for estimating the parameters of adjustable models from a small number of observations is developed based on projection identification and the apparatus of linear algebra and analytical geometry. To evaluate the developed identification method, a comparison of the transient processes of the adaptive model of a DC motor with independent excitation with the obtained parameter estimates with reference characteristics was carried out. The efficiency of the proposed identification method in problems of DC electric drive control is shown.

  • A comprehensive condition monitoring system for steel hoisting wire ropes based on machine learning and synchronized signal processing of the optical and magnetic channels

    A comprehensive approach is proposed for automated diagnostics and condition monitoring of steel hoisting wire ropes, implemented by integrating two independent methods—optical and magnetometric—into a single synchronized monitoring system. In the optical channel, two analysis mechanisms are implemented: defect classification based on evaluating characteristic patterns of changes in the cross-sectional dimensions, and classification using a convolutional neural network trained on annotated images of real damage. The magnetometric channel applies the magnetic flux leakage principle, detecting internal anomalies using a sensor array whose signals are converted into a numerical feature vector. Temporal and spatial synchronization of the data using correlation algorithms provides unified defect mapping and minimizes false alarms. Experimental validation was conducted on ropes with defects such as bending, kinking, and breakage, as well as on undamaged ropes, under conditions close to real operation. The results confirm high sensitivity, noise robustness, and the potential suitability of the proposed solution for continuous industrial monitoring.

  • Analysis of a digital data transmission system over a noisy communication channel based on the Huffman compression method and encoding using Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem cyclic codes

    Analysis of a digital data transmission system through a noisy communication channel based on the Huffman compression method and encoding using cyclic Bose-Chowdhury-Hockingham codes This article examines the effectiveness of a digital data transmission system through a noisy communication channel using the Huffman compression method and cyclic BCH encoding (Bose-Chowdhury-Hockingham). Huffman compression reduces data redundancy, which increases the effective transmission rate, while BCH codes detect and correct errors caused by channel noise. The analysis likely includes evaluating parameters such as compression ratio, data transmission rate, error probability after decoding, and computational complexity of the algorithms. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of this combination of techniques in improving data transmission reliability in noisy environments.

  • Mathematical modeling of thermal processes in a micromorphic photovoltaic module and experimental verification of the model in the Astrakhan region

    Overheating of photovoltaic modules (PVMs) is a key problem leading to a decrease in their efficiency and service life, especially in regions with high levels of solar radiation. The existing models are not detailed enough to accurately predict the thermal conditions of thin-film micromorphic modules under real-world operating conditions. The paper develops a three-dimensional finite element model of the Pramac 125 micromorphic module in the Ansys software package, which takes into account the geometric, optical and thermodynamic characteristics of all layers. To verify the model, a field experiment was conducted in the Astrakhan region with the registration of the module temperature and meteorological parameters. The validation confirmed the high accuracy of the model: the coefficient of determination R² between the calculated and experimental data was 0.9991. The model makes it possible to estimate thermal conditions and associated energy losses, which justifies the need to use cooling systems in the southern regions of Russia.

  • Bionics as a basis for adaptive architecture and construction in the North Caucasus

    The article examines the aspects of using bionics as a basis for adaptive architecture and construction in the conditions of the North Caucasus. Modern architecture is undergoing a shift from static and resource-intensive models to dynamic, intelligent and environmentally oriented systems. This approach is particularly relevant for regions with difficult climatic and landscape conditions, such as the North Caucasus, where traditional construction is often unable to effectively withstand the challenges of sudden temperature fluctuations, seismic activity, strong winds and high insolation. This article substantiates the thesis that the integration of bionics principles into adaptive construction offers not just innovative solutions, but a holistic design philosophy based on centuries of experience in the evolution of natural systems. It is proved that bionics is not an alien concept for the region, but, on the contrary, finds deep parallels in traditional mountain architecture, such as in tower complexes demonstrating organic integration into the landscape and effective thermoregulation, similar to natural prototypes. The paper discusses specific areas of application of bionic principles, including the development of adaptive facades inspired by plant and animal thermoregulation systems, as well as the creation of earthquake-resistant structures similar to the flexible structures of bamboo stems or trees. Special attention is paid to the design methodology that combines the analysis of local conditions, biomimicry methods and the integration of modern digital technologies such as computer modeling and 3D printing to create unique, energy-efficient facilities. The need for synergy between traditional architectural knowledge and innovative technologies is emphasized, which makes it possible to create buildings that not only adapt to the environment, but also reflect the unique cultural identity of the North Caucasus. In conclusion, it is argued that bionics is a logical and promising direction for the architectural development of the region, ensuring the creation of a sustainable, safe and comfortable living environment through harmonization with the natural context.

  • A traffic classification model for detecting robotic activity

    This article examines the growing threat of web scraping (parsing) as a form of automated cyberattack, particularly aimed. Although scraping publicly available data is often legal, its misuse can lead to serious consequences, including server overload, data breaches and intellectual property infringement. Recent court cases against OpenAI and ChatGPT highlight the legal uncertainty associated with unauthorized data collection.
    The study presents a dual approach to combat malicious scraping. Traffic Classification Model - a machine learning based solution using Random Forest algorithms results in performance that achieves 89% accuracy in distinguishing between legitimate and malicious bot traffic, enabling early detection of scraping attempts. Data Deception Technique - the countermeasure dynamically modifies HTML content to convey false information to scrapers while maintaining the original look of the page. This technique prevents data collection without affecting the user experience.
    Performance results include real-time traffic monitoring, dynamic page obfuscation, and automatic response systems.
    The proposed system demonstrates effectiveness in mitigating the risks associated with scraping and emphasizes the need for adaptive cybersecurity measures in evolving digital technologies.

  • Estimates of integral changes in the bottom elevation for a section of the Lower Volga based on hydrodynamic modeling

    The paper considers the effect of particle size on the dynamics of suspended sediments in a riverbed. The EcoGIS-Simulation computing complex is used to simulate the joint dynamics of surface waters and sediments in the Volga River model below the Volga hydroelectric dam. The most important factor in the variability of the riverbed is the spring releases of water from the Volgograd reservoir, when water consumption increases fivefold. Some integral and local characteristics of the riverbed are calculated depending on the particle size coefficient.
