Construction Works

Reducing the duration of construction works requires additional organizational measures, such as selecting construction methods that assure a shorter realization time, engaging additional resources, working overtime, or allowing construction works to be performed simultaneously in the same working units. The simultaneous work of crews may affect the quality of works and the efficiency of construction processes. This article presents a simulation model aimed at assessing the impact of the overlap period on the extension of the working time of the crews and the reduction of a repetitive project’s duration in random conditions. The purpose of simulation studies is to provide construction managers with guidelines when deciding on the dates of starting the sequential technological process lines realized by specialized working crews, for sustainable scheduling and organization of construction projects.

In order to realize dielectric elastomer stack actuators suitable for dynamic applications a new actuator design with rigid, perforated electrodes is developed. The low surface resistance of the metal electrodes predestines this concept for dynamic applications where higher currents are present. Detailed numerical analyses are performed to show the potential of this approach, to study the complex material deformation and to optimize the aperture geometry. A multilayer stack actuator is then manufactured and characterized experimentally under various load conditions to gain suitable parameters for a parametrized model. It is subsequently used to attenuate vibrations of a truss structure. By careful adjusting the parameters it functions both as passive absober and as actuator. A comparison of experimental and simulation results proves the high quality of the simulation model. The work shows the great potential of the new design concept for future applications especially in the field of smart structures.

With traffic increase in a wireless network beyond its capacity and as the number of connected devices continue to grow, the quality of service (QoS) degrades. In this paper we study the impact of mobility on throughput in the case of an infrastructure wireless network using IEEE 802.11 Wi-Fi standard. Since we found in the literature that the mobility of stations can have an impact on the quality of service, we try to remedy to this by implementing a new access category reserved for mobile stations. First we compare the throughput between static and mobile nodes, both connected to a QoS station. Then we propose our new model that consists of adding a new access category used by mobile nodes regardless of their traffic category. The study was made by simulating different scenarios using Network Simulator-3 (NS-3). We found that the throughput may vary depending on the simulation scenario. The simulation results show that with the proposed solution the mobile nodes can have a better throughput.

Energy demand reduction in buildings is an important measure to achieve climate change mitigation. It is essential to minimize heat losses in designing phase in accordance of building energy efficiency. For building energy efficiency in a mild climate zone, a large part of the heating demand is caused by transmission losses through the building envelope. Building envelopes with high thermal resistance are typical for low-energy buildings in general. In this sense thermal bridges impact increases by using of greater thickness of thermal insulation. This paper is focused on thermal bridges minimizing through typical system details in buildings. The impact of thermal bridges was studied by comparative calculations for a case study of building with different amounts of thermal insulation. The calculated results represent a percentage distribution of heat loss through typical building components in correlation of various thicknesses of their thermal insulations.

In this article, we show the importance of potash fertilizers produced by PJSC Uralkali, Berezniki, Perm Territory for agriculture and the economy in general. А process of potas¬sium ore underground mining is described from breaking up moment till transportation to the surface. An importance of production planning for the mining enterprise functioning is substantiated. Various levels of plan-ning, from a general production plan to a weekly and daily plans are described. The problem of such planning at PJSC Uralkali is in using only integral performance indicators, it leads to significant errors. It is proposed to use simulation modeling as a possible solution to the problem. Purpose of work. The purpose of this work is to develop a simulation model of mining operations, from the process of breaking and transporting ore to a conveyor-transport system, and to test model’s applicability for ore mining planning. Since the existing software has a number of limitations in applies to potash mines, a specialized object-oriented library allows modeling queuing systems, multi-agent and active systems is used as a basis for modeling. The limitations and as-sumptions of the model are described. Materials and methods. The model is igned as a determinis-tic automaton. The end point for ore mining process modeling is the transfer of ore to the unloading point, because further transportation of ore is not a limiting factor for mining. Conclusion. The spe-cial states of all objects of the system including mining combine – self-propelled car – unloading point and all possible transitions between them are described. A data from open sources is taken to check the adequacy of the model. Changes in the simulation results are investigated for various in-put parameters in the developed software. The simulation results are of a pulsating character due to the periodic execution of the harvester drive away. A productivity of the combine decreases with an increase in the distance traveled by a self-propelled car. The possibility of transition to a stochas-tic model is investigated. An expected decrease due to an increase in the downtime of the combine is shown. A conclusion about the applicability of the model to improve the quality of planning for un-derground potassium ore mining is made based on obtained data.

Basing on the fact that requirements for shift quality in automatic transmissions have been increasing rapidly necessitates the establishment of a suitable shifting control strategy in order to facilitate smoothness of different processes, this paper introduces a simulation model of an 8-speed automatic transmission for front-drive vehicles with respect to detailed shifting strategies and relative parameters. The transmitted torque of the oncoming shift elements before synchronization point can be reduced by an impact function in order to damp the impact and thus make the gear shifting process more smooth. This paper makes a systematic introduction of the structure of 8AT, theoretical basis of control strategy, the establishment of the simulation model and the comparison between test results and simulation results. The conclusion shows that with an accurate dynamic model, simulation results and test results are neighborhood data, the simulation model can be used to help realizing the ultimate goal of better shift quality with higher efficiency, lower shift loads and improved shifting comfort.

In order to study the impact of vehicle attitude changes on stability, vehicle attitude control simulation model based on soft and hard damping characteristics was built. The model was applied to simulate vehicle straight driving and turning driving, thus simulating various vehicle attitudes in driving. The simulation results show that this model was correct and the control algorithm was feasible; the damping impact on a variety of vehicle attitudes in the driving process can be simulated in advance by adjusting the damping; and the changes of soft and hard damping adjustable shock absorber damping can effectively change the vehicle riding comfort and handling stability.
