The article presents the results of an analysis of the stress-strain state and the failure mode of a frame joint connecting a monolithic reinforced concrete crossbar with a column in a frame structural system. The distinctive feature of the considered joint is that part or all of the tensioned (top) reinforcement of the crossbar, bending with a certain radius R, continues into the column.
The research was conducted through a computational experiment. The modeling was performed in the LIRA-SAPR software package. The issue of calculating the normal sections of the joint from the standpoint of SP 63.13330 (Russian Building Code) using the formulas for eccentric compression is considered. An analysis of the joint failure modes during a physical experiment is performed. The dependence of the radial pressure exerted by the curved reinforcement on the concrete on the stress in the reinforcement and its bend radius is determined. The bisectoral section of the joint, represented as a rectangular plate of unit thickness cut by two planes perpendicular to the mid-surface of the joint, was adopted as the calculation object. The calculations were performed using a nonlinear formulation. Recommendations are made for limiting stresses in the reinforcement when calculating the joint according to SP 63.13330. A model for calculating joint failure due to spalling of the side faces from the radial pressure of the curved bars is proposed.

The problem of ensuring the reliability and durability of the restored pipelines is an urgent task, especially in connection with the use of new materials in repair practice. In recent years, polymer materials have been widely used in pipeline repair and restoration work. Research in this area is mainly focused on technological processes, the development of equipment and structural elements made of composite materials. In our study, we set ourselves the task of using mathematical modeling to evaluate the operation of the steel+polymer shell structure after repair work on the gas pipeline, namely, the dynamics of changes in reactive pressure and maximum stresses in pitting corrosion zones depending on ground conditions. The results were obtained that allow us to predict the service life of this structure in soils with different corrosion activity. A significant increase in the bearing capacity of a worn pipeline repaired with polymer inserts in soils with high activity of corrosion processes has been proven.

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.

The article discusses the structure and principle of operation of an improved centrifugal unit for mixing bulk materials. A special feature of which is the ability to control mixing modes. Due to its design, the selection of a rational position of the bump makes it possible to provide such conditions for the impact interaction of particle flows, in which a high-quality homogeneous mixture of components is formed, the particles of which have different sizes, shapes and other parameters. To characterize the resulting mixture, the coefficient of heterogeneity was used, the conclusion of which is based on a probabilistic approach. A computational scheme of the rarefied flow formation process is given. An expression is derived for calculating the coefficient of heterogeneity when mixing bulk media, the particles of which have different sizes, shapes and other parameters. The research conducted in the article allows not only to predict the quality of the resulting mixture, but also to identify the factors that have the greatest impact on achieving the required uniformity.

The article discusses a software module developed by the authors for automatic generation of program code based on UML diagrams. The relevance of developing this module is due to the limitations of existing foreign code generation tools related to functionality, ease of use, support for modern technologies, as well as their unavailability in Russian Federation. The module analyzes JSON files obtained by exporting UML diagrams from the draw.io online service and converts them into code in a selected programming language (Python, C++, Java) or DDL scripts for DBMS (PostgreSQL, Oracle, MySQL). The Python language and the Jinja2 template engine were used as the main development tools. The operation of the software module is demonstrated using the example of a small project "Library Management System". During the study, a series of tests were conducted on automatic code generation based on the architectures of software information systems developed by students of the Software Engineering bachelor's degree program in the discipline "Design and Architecture of Software Systems". The test results showed that the code generated using the developed module fully complies with the original UML diagrams, including the structure of classes, relationships between them, as well as the configuration of the database and infrastructure (Docker Compose). The practical significance of the investigation is that the proposed concept of generating program code based on visual models of UML diagrams built in the popular online editor draw.io significantly simplifies the development of software information systems, and can be used for educational purposes.

The article studies possibilities for analyzing geopolitical processes within the framework of situational analysis methodology using cognitive modeling. Situational analysis description is given, and scenario for developing events is presented where two stages are distinguished: a preparatory stage (a pre-scenario stage) which is essential for performing descriptive and explanatory functions of predictive research, and a scenario stage intended for substantive and formal research as well as for description of predicted processes, construction of system models and preparation of all significant information for scenario synthesis. Furthermore, a method for applying situational analysis is proposed to be used within the framework of the cognitive modeling toolkit of a “future scenario” option and its analysis with account of new “main” factors, relationships, feedbacks and dynamics of their alterations. When forming a scenario for a specific geopolitical situation within the framework of cognitive modeling, this method can be presented by causal (functional) and logical-semantic relation between the elements/agents of actions and counteractions. By interpreting the logical-semantic as structural, and the causal as dynamic, we obtain a structural-dynamic systemic description of geopolitical confrontation using the language of cognitive graphs, i.e. presenting a graphical expression of causal relationships between the concepts (factors) that characterize a particular geopolitical process. Thus, within the framework of a scenario stage the following procedures are conducted: analyzing the initial geopolitical situation, namely: determining key factors that build up the scheme of internal connections and external relationships, and their structuring; defining factors that make an impact; determining impact directions and force (positive and negative effect); choosing basic stereotypes or generalized models of interactions that correspond to the initial situation; constructing cognitive models of the current state of a situation; studying trends for the situation’s development and its dynamics analysis; transferring a scenario onto a practical basis. 

Keywords: geopolitical processes, situational analysis, cognitive modeling, and forecasting scenario

Traditional marketing methods of promoting goods and services are aimed at a wide audience and do not take into account the individual characteristics of consumers, which can lead to a small percentage of positive responses and even to negative responses (loss of customers). Wide audience coverage leads to an increase in the cost of marketing interactions and does not guarantee the achievement of the goals of marketing campaigns. In such a situation, the task is to minimize excess costs through a more rational organization of marketing interactions aimed at obtaining maximum profit from each target client. To implement such a strategy, tools are needed that can identify customer segments, marketing interaction with which will lead to a positive response. One of the technologies for building such tools is uplift modeling, which is a section of machine learning and is considered a promising direction in data-driven marketing. In this article, based on the open data X5 RetailHero Uplift Modeling Dataset, provided by X5 Retail Group, a comparative analysis of the effectiveness of various uplift modeling approaches is conducted to identify the segment of customers who are most susceptible to target impact. Various uplift metrics and visual technologies are used to conduct the comparative analysis.

The article is devoted to the problem of verification of distributed algorithms using formal methods. The classical leader selection algorithm in ring topology, the ring algorithm, is chosen as the object of research. For its analysis, the specification language of the Temporal Logic of Actions (TLA+) is used. The paper presents a detailed formal model of the algorithm, describing its states and transitions, taking into account the features of distributed systems, such as the lack of shared memory. The key properties of correctness are formulated and proved: the uniqueness of the leader (the property of security), the finality of elections (the property of liveliness) and consent. The correctness of the specification was confirmed using the model model verifier of the language of temporal logic of actions, which exhaustively checked all achievable states for the model with three processes. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the Time Logic Specification language (TLA+) for providing a high degree of confidence in the reliability of distributed systems.

Numerical values of the functional extrapolator of a fractal L–Markov process with a quasi-rational spectrum are obtained. The methods of correlation and regression analysis were used to calculate the predicted complex values for the lead time t. The analysis of the real and imaginary parts of the optimal extrapolator is carried out for all correct values of the lead time t. The coefficients of Pearson linear correlation and Kendall rank correlation are calculated, which indicate a high linear correlation between the real and imaginary parts of the extrapolator and their noticeable rank correlation. The representability of the optimal extrapolator for the lead time t in the form of a linear combination of the values of the fractal L–Markov process under study at five points of the L–boundary is proved. The calculated values of the beta coefficient and the Hurst index indicate the high reliability of the forecast constructed in the work.

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.

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 paper investigates the improvement of methods for computing the concentration of nanoparticles in transparent liquids under the action of laser radiation. The exact solution of the third boundary value problem for the Einstein–Fokker–Planck equation is analyzed, the direct use of which in the Maple computer algebra system leads to computational instabilities at large values of the transfer parameter. A solution to the problem of unstable numerical calculations at high values of dimensionless parameters, leading to significant distortions of the result, is presented. The key result is to expand the working range of the transfer parameter and ensure the correct asymptotic behavior of the solution. Numerical experiments have confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed approach, which makes it a valuable tool for modeling and optimizing the processes of laser separation of nanoparticles.

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.

Ring-shaped reinforced concrete structures are widely used in construction. For example, in the form of underground pipelines. They experience a complex nonlinear deformed state (VAT), which is analytically described as a complex mathematical problem of mechanics. Therefore, numerical methods are often used to solve it. This article uses the finite element method (FEM) implemented in the Lira-CAD 2022 PC. The VAT of reinforced concrete pipelines is determined in a physically nonlinear formulation, taking into account 4 factors of influence: the inner diameter, the concrete class, the properties of the filling soil, and the properties of the foundation soil. A plan has been drawn up for a complete multifactorial numerical experiment, which includes 81 models. The values of internal force factors in all sections of the underground pipeline are obtained, taking into account the variation of each factor individually and taking into account their mutual influence. Combinations of factors giving extreme values of internal forces in the pipeline have been established. Based on this, recommendations for rational design have been developed.

Regression analysis is an effective tool for estimating and planning budget allocations, which allows us to identify statistical dependencies between socio-economic indicators. In this paper, based on open statistical data for 80 subjects of the Russian Federation, an analysis of the distribution of IT infrastructure financing for 2025 is carried out.

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.
