The article considers the issues of forecasting the strength of underground pipelines, which are operated on seismically active sections of the route, composed of relatively rigid mobile blocks. According to the literature, the problems of the influence of the interaction of base faults on the stress state of the pipeline have not been studied to date. The aim of the work is to develop a model for the analysis of abnormal stresses in the underground pipeline on a damaged basis caused by static or time-harmonious mutual movement of its blocks along the axis of the pipe in the presence of several faults. Boundary value problems for differential equations of static tensile-compression and steady-state longitudinal oscillations of a tubular rod with discontinuous right-hand sides are formulated. Based on the analytical solutions of these problems for the cases of antisymmetric and symmetric displacement of the foundation blocks, the distributions of axial displacement and equivalent stress in the pipe, depending on the distance between faults and the frequency of forced oscillations, are investigated.

Conscious appraisals of stress, or stress states, are an important aspect of human performance. This article presents evidence supporting the validity and measurement characteristics of a short multidimensional self-report measure of stress state, the Short Stress State Questionnaire (SSSQ; Helton, 2004 ). The SSSQ measures task engagement, distress, and worry. A confirmatory factor analysis of the SSSQ using data pooled from multiple samples suggests the SSSQ does have a three factor structure and post-task changes are not due to changes in factor structure, but to mean level changes (state changes). In addition, the SSSQ demonstrates sensitivity to task stressors in line with hypotheses. Different task conditions elicited unique patterns of stress state on the three factors of the SSSQ in line with prior predictions. The 24-item SSSQ is a valid measure of stress state which may be useful to researchers interested in conscious appraisals of task-related stress.
