  • About accuracy of polynomial models of submersible electric motors as a part of ACS

    The characteristics of a submersible induction motor are described with sufficient reliability for practice by the theory of multi-motor electric drive. In this case, the classical circuit of a submersible induction motor is a coupled system of several equivalent-T circuits. In turn, this significantly increases its computational complexity and reduces the speed of ACS. It is proposed to construct a mathematical model of the submersible electric motor in the form of polynomials with significantly higher speed using the methods of experiment planning. In the area of applicability, the differences in the estimation of energy performance do not exceed 1.1%, between the proposed models and classical equivalent-T circuits.

  • Support and anchor foundations as a key to the stability of modern buildings

    The article is devoted to the analysis and optimization of the stability of engineering structures to wind loads through the use of innovative structures of support and anchor foundations. In modern construction, when the requirements for reliability and stability of buildings have increased, special attention is being paid to the development of effective foundations capable of withstanding both compressive and pulling loads. Support and anchor foundations are presented as a comprehensive solution, including combined anchors and a monolithic slab (grillwork), ensuring uniform load distribution. The main focus is on the combined anchor, which acts as the main working element that receives the forces from the structure and effectively transfers them to the ground. Unlike traditional piles, the proposed design significantly increases the resistance to pulling due to the use of wire anchors with high load-bearing capacity.

  • Optical damage control of hoisting ropes of metallurgical process equipment

    Steel hoisting ropes play an important role in metallurgical equipment, ensuring reliability and efficiency of lifting operations. One of the key features of their operation is the high level of contamination typical of metallurgical operations. Metallurgical processes are often accompanied by dust, metal chips and other abrasive particles that can significantly degrade ropes, causing wear and corrosion. To maintain the efficient operation of equipment it is necessary to monitor the condition of hoisting ropes in real time, which makes the task of improving automatic systems for monitoring the condition of ropes urgent. The paper reviews the methods of optical control of defects in hoisting steel ropes, the advantages and limitations of different approaches are considered. The aim of the work is to justify the effectiveness of the authors' developed method of analyzing rope defect images using neural networks in relation to the method based on the discrete Fourier transform. It is revealed that one of the most promising in terms of technical and economic efficiency of inspection methods is the application of vision system with image processing based on convolutional neural network technology, which allows to effectively detect defects in complex and changing operating conditions, such as metallurgical and mining production, where the background of the image may be non-uniform, and the distance between the camera and the rope varies.

  • On the question of the influence of retirement trips in the 19th century on the architect's work using the example of the artistic heritage of I.A. Monighetti

    • Abstract

    The authors of the article raise the question of the value of the graphic heritage of famous architects, which they brought when they were sent abroad (on so-called retirement trips) to study architectural monuments, and the significance of these works for their design activities. The development of retirement at the Academy of Fine Arts is briefly considered. Using the example of drawings made by I.A. Monighetti abroad, in order to get acquainted with the world's artistic and architectural monuments, a comparative analysis of measurements preserved in the library's collection with fragments of his specific buildings is carried out. In this publication, for the first time, some of the surviving works of I.A. Monighetti, which are in the collection of the library of St. Petersburg State University, are introduced into scientific circulation. The method of using the studied architectural monuments in the practical works of the master is shown.

  • Comparative analysis of pipeline construction methods in the seismically active zone, ensuring their reliability

    The article presents the concept of ensuring reliability during the operation of oil pipelines in an active tectonic fault zone. Possible solutions to this problem are considered. It is noted that at the present stage in the Russian regulatory and technical documentation, when calculating pipelines for seismic effects, a sharp displacement of the soil is not taken into account, leading to a violation of their design position. Using the example of the research object, changes in the stress-strain state of a pipeline with specified pipe wall thicknesses and plate displacement during an earthquake were considered. The minimum distances for the installation of shut-off valves in the area of the pipeline passing through a tectonic fault were determined.  The total amount of economic and environmental damage from possible accidents on the oil pipeline under study has been determined, which allowed us to conclude that an integrated approach is needed to ensure the reliability of oil pipelines in the zone of an active tectonic fault.

  • On the issue of determining the spatial distribution of the strength of erythemal radiation in the design of irradiation installations

    For the development of automated systems for designing ultraviolet irradiators intended to compensate for the deficiency of natural ultraviolet, it is critically important to know the spatial distribution of the erythemal radiation power. However, there are no suitable sensors for direct measurement of this value on the Russian market. In this regard, an alternative method for determining the erythemal radiation power is considered, which does not require the use of specialized erythemal-sensitive receivers. The method is based on obtaining the spatial distribution of the erythemal radiation power by taking into account the curve of the relative spectral erythemal efficiency of radiation and preliminary measurements on a gonioradiometric setup of the distribution of energy illuminance in the UVA (320 - 400 nm), UVB (280 - 320 nm) regions and the relative spectral distribution of the irradiator or radiation source for one arbitrarily selected direction in the wavelength range of 280 - 400 nm.
