This article introduces a new method for creating architectural objects that can effectively withstand technological threats. The innovation of the design schemes is based on a unique conceptual duality: the system can be analyzed both in the traditional three-dimensional paradigm of force transmission and using a fundamentally new four-dimensional resource model of stress redistribution. How does this model enable active resource management and adaptation of the structure to changing conditions? This is the focus of this article.

This study presents a method for preprocessing data sequences aimed at identifying and grouping different data files for subsequent use in training neural networks. An algorithm for file comparison based on the relative deviation of feature values is proposed, taking into account boundary cases (zero and near-zero values). The implementation includes parallel processing to improve performance and the generation of detailed reports. The method is tested on a dataset containing 10,000 files with parameters of a chemical process in a laboratory reactor. The results demonstrate the method's effectiveness in identifying stationary regions and generating balanced training sets.

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.

Differential-algebraic equations for describing the motion of a plane-parallel robot-manipulator are investigated. The dynamic model is constructed using the Lagrange equation and the substructure method. The design of a control system regulator using the sliding mode method is considered. The control accuracy is tested on a model of a 3-RRR plane-parallel robot . It consists of three kinematic chains, each of which has two links with three rotational joints. To study the efficiency of the controller, a circular trajectory is used as the target motion for the multibody system. The considered control system for a plane-parallel robot is capable of solving problems of movement and ensuring high positioning accuracy.

Changes in external conditions, parameters of object functioning, relationships between system elements and system connections with the supersystem lead to a decrease in the accuracy of the artificial intelligence models results, which is called model degradation. Reducing the risk of model degradation is relevant for electric power engineering tasks, the peculiarity of which is multifactor dependencies in complex technical systems and the influence of meteorological parameters. Therefore, automatic updating of models over time is a necessary condition for building user confidence in forecasting systems in power engineering tasks and industry implementations of such systems. There are various methods used to prevent degradation, including an algorithm for detecting data drift, an algorithm for updating models, their retraining, additional training, and fine-tuning. This article presents the results of a study of drift types, their systematization and classification by various features. The solution options that developers need to make when creating intelligent forecasting systems to determine a strategy for updating forecast models are formalized, including update trigger criteria, model selection, hyperparameter optimization, and the choice of an update method and data set formation. An algorithm for forming a strategy for automatic updating of artificial intelligence models is proposed and practical recommendations are given for developers of models in problems of forecasting time series in the power industry, such as forecasting electricity consumption, forecasting the output of solar, wind and hydroelectric power plants.

An integrated approach to the numerical study of forced oscillations of a vehicle moving over an uneven road surface is proposed. The method combines 3D parametric modeling in SolidWorks with spectral-correlation analysis in MATLAB/Simulink. A multibody CAD model of a vehicle with independent suspension for all wheels was developed, including the main frame, lever suspensions with nonlinear elastic-damping elements, wheels, and the powertrain. The road microprofile was formalized using a correlation function implemented as a random process in MATLAB and imported into SolidWorks as a spatial profile. Dynamic analysis was performed using the SolidWorks Motion module. The results show that the vehicle's suspension exhibits a filtering effect, attenuating high-frequency disturbances from the road and shifting the dominant frequency of the center of mass oscillations to a lower range (~0.4 Hz). The rapid decay of the autocorrelation function indicates effective damping. This approach allows for efficient virtual testing without costly physical experiments.

This paper provides a survey of metrics used to assess the quality of images generated by generative models. Specialized metrics are required to objectively evaluate image quality. A comparative analysis showed that a combination of different metrics is necessary for a comprehensive evaluation of generation quality. Perceptual metrics are effective for assessing image quality from the perspective of machine systems, while metrics evaluating structure and details are useful for analyzing human perception. Text-based metrics allow for the assessment of image-text alignment but cannot replace metrics focused on visual or structural evaluation. The results of this study will be beneficial for specialists in machine learning and computer vision, as well as contribute to the improvement of generative algorithms and the expansion of diffusion model applications.

The purpose of the work was to develop a model of maintaining balance in accordance with the parameters of the human body, which ensures the function of maintaining the body's balance in space. The key indicator of stable balance is the center of mass (CM) of the human body. The stability of the posture is ensured by the projection of the center of mass (CM) within the support area. The article describes two models that assess the displacement of the CM projection relative to the support area. The principle of operation of the models is based on pendulum motion in the sagittal plane (forward-backward movements) and the frontal plane (lateral movements). The model includes a comprehensive visualization of the CM projection on the support area in real time, as well as a quantitative assessment of stability by counting the percentage of time spent in the support area. The model provides a more comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms involved in maintaining equilibrium.

The article presents and analyzes the algorithm for calculating bending reinforced concrete structures by normal section based on a nonlinear deformation model recommended in the standards for the design of reinforced concrete structures SP 63.13330.2018. Calculation of reinforced concrete structures based on a nonlinear deformation model is a priority, since it expands the set of controlled parameters, which leads to a more accurate description of the operation of building structures. The features of performing the calculation using this algorithm, as well as other approaches to calculating bending reinforced concrete structures by a normal section based on deformation and other models, are considered. The sequence of calculations using computer technologies is shown using the example of calculations in the engineering nonlinearity1 system of the LIRA-SAPR software package. The results of calculating a rod element of the calculation scheme are given: changes of the bending moment, stiffness, and deformation modulus for finite elements along the rod length. In this case, the calculation in the engineering nonlinearity1 system is performed with subsequent adjustment of the stiffness characteristics of the finite elements, carried out during the iterative calculation, with clarification of the stress-strain state, deflection of the element and its reinforcement. Additional capabilities of performing calculations using the engineering nonlinearity2 system are described: expanded the possibilities of assigning various laws of material deformation, describing the loading of the calculation scheme, reinforcement of structures, and the possibility of using a step processor.
