This article shows a method for determining the support reactions of rod architectural structures, the position of free nodes of which was previously obtained by discrete geometrical morphogenesis (shaping). At the same time, the order and principle of defining and forming all the necessary discrete data on the topological features of the model, its boundary conditions, external loads and the distribution of internal forces are considered. The algorithm is based on logical operations and matrix transformations.

The ‘Fragment on Machines’ from Marx’s Grundrisse is often cited as an argument that the internal forces of capitalism will lead to its doom. But the argument that the progressive reduction of labor must doom capitalism lacks a proper foundation, as a comparison with the ‘Schemes of Reproduction’ given in Capital II shows. The latter, however, aren’t fully convincing either. In reality, more depends on the private consumption of capitalists than either model recognizes. Ultimately, most can be made of the ‘Fragment on Machines’ by reading it not as an exposure of capitalism’s internal contractions, but as a discussion of a possible communist future where labor (or work) will play but a minor role.

Geometric nonlinearity shallow shells on a square and rectangular plan with constant and variable thickness are considered. Loss of stability of a structure due to a decrease in the rigidity of one of the support (transition from fixed support to hinged support) is considered. The Bubnov-Galerkin method is used to solve differential equations of shallow geometrically nonlinear shells. The Vlasov's beam functions are used for approximating. The use of dimensionless quantities makes it possible to repeat the calculations and obtain similar dependences. The graphs are given that make it possible to assess the reduction in the critical load in the shell at each stage of reducing the rigidity of the support and to predict the further behavior of the structure. Regularities of changes in internal forces for various types of structure support are shown. Conclusions are made about the necessary design solutions to prevent the progressive collapse of the shell due to a decrease in the rigidity of one of the supports.

The paper considers the system "beam - elastic foundation", in which a beam with free edges was at first on a solid elastic foundation, but when a defect suddenly forms in the foundation under the right side of the beam, part of foundation was removed from design model. As a result of calculations performed by the method of initial parameters, the displacements and internal forces for the static problem are determined. The dynamic problem of determining the forces and displacements was solved, taking into account the three vibration loads F (t) = F sinγt applied at arbitrary points d when the conditions for supporting the right side of the beam on an elastic foundation were changed, the values of the dynamics coefficients were determined. Conditions are formulated that must be taken into account when analyzing the dynamic behavior of a structure under the influence of vibration loads in the case of a change in the conditions of bearing on an elastic foundation.

This chapter presents the main techniques to incorporate the effects of external and/or internal forces within the LB formalism. This is a very important task, for it permits us to access a wide body of generalized hydrodynamic applications whereby fluid motion couples to a variety of additional physical aspects, such as gravitational and electric fields, potential energy interactions, chemical reactions and many others. It should be emphasized that while hosting a broader and richer phenomenology than “plain” hydrodynamics, generalized hydrodynamics still fits the hydrodynamic picture of weak departure from suitably generalized local equilibria. This class is all but an academic curiosity; for instance, it is central to the fast-growing science of Soft Matter, a scientific discipline which has received an impressive boost in the past decades, under the drive of micro- and nanotechnological developments and major strides in biology and life sciences at large.

Just as the sense of touch complements vision in various species, several robots could benefit from advanced tactile sensors, in particular when operating under poor visibility. A prominent tactile sense organ, frequently serving as a natural paragon for developing tactile sensors, is the vibrissae of, e.g., rats. Within this study, we present a vibrissa-inspired sensor concept for 3D object scanning and reconstruction to be exemplarily used in mobile robots. The setup consists of a highly flexible rod attached to a 3D force-torque transducer (measuring device). The scanning process is realized by translationally shifting the base of the rod relative to the object. Consequently, the rod sweeps over the object’s surface, undergoing large bending deflections. Then, the support reactions at the base of the rod are evaluated for contact localization. Presenting a method of theoretically generating these support reactions, we provide an important basis for future parameter studies. During scanning, lateral slip of the rod is not actively prevented, in contrast to literature. In this way, we demonstrate the suitability of the sensor for passively dragging it on a mobile robot. Experimental scanning sweeps using an artificial vibrissa (steel wire) of length 50 mm and a glass sphere as a test object with a diameter of 60 mm verify the theoretical results and serve as a proof of concept.
