The article considers the issues of analysis of the patterns of operation of the loadbearingelements of the body of carriage. A comparative analysis of the size and nature of theoperation of structural elements of carriages of different types and years of their construction.In recent years, there has been a significant aging of the operational fleet of carriage. Atnowadays, carriages of various models and their modifications with an extended service life, whichis approaching the limit, are in operation on the railway network of Ukraine.The technical, economic and ecological indicators of transport, the degree of reliability andtraffic safety depend on the age of the carriages. At nowadays, the level of development of technicalmeans and technology of repair and restoration of rolling stock is increasing fast.To increase the competitiveness of rail passenger transport, it is necessary to overcome thehigh degree of wear of the carriages fleet of JSC «Ukrzaliznytsia». Because of the lack of domesticand the complete absence of foreign investment in the railways, the tendency to increase physicaldepreciation and obsolescence of fixed assets is progressing. According to the data of the branch of«Passenger Company» JSC «Ukrzaliznytsia» in 2020 the inventory includes is almost 5 thousandcarriages, most of which have served their intended service life. As a result, the current wear of thecarriages fleet is approaching 92 %.Most of the carriages fleet was built in the 70s and 90s of the last century at car plants inGermany and Russia. Due to the constant lack of funding, the fleet of carriages of JSC«Ukrzaliznytsia»was renewed at a slow pace. Every year the carriages fleet wears out and ages. Thisreduces the competitiveness of railways, which negatively effects on quantity of passenger traffic.Naturally, carriages should not only create the necessary level of comfort, but also ensure trafficsafety and high reliability in operation. The results of the study made it possible to consider the issueof further use of carriages, which are most affected by corrosion.

Cracking is a common problem in concrete structures in real-life service conditions. In fact, crack-free concrete structures are very rare to find in real world. Concrete can undergo early-age cracking depending on the mix composition, exposure environment, hydration rate, and curing conditions. Understanding the causes and consequences of cracking thoroughly is essential for selecting proper measures to resolve the early-age cracking problem in concrete. This paper will help to identify the major causes and consequences of the early-age cracking in concrete. Also, this paper will be useful to adopt effective remedial measures for reducing or eliminating the early-age cracking problem in concrete. Different types of early-age crack, the factors affecting the initiation and growth of early-age cracks, the causes of early-age cracking, and the modeling of early-age cracking are discussed in this paper. A number of examples for various early-age cracking problems of concrete found in different structural elements are also shown. Above all, some recommendations are given for minimizing the early-age cracking in concrete. It is hoped that the information conveyed in this paper will be beneficial to improve the service life of concrete structures. Concrete researchers and practitioners may benefit from the contents of this paper.

Multiple Units

Potential fire on board of the passenger train creates risk for passengers health and passengers life. Using non-flammable materials for producing Electric Multiple Units (EMUs) is not considered to be sufficient as passengers are carrying different types of materials as their luggage and belongings. In case of fire on board of the train, the EMU should stop in a place which is appropriate for passengers evacuation and fire fighting. Not all places along railway lines are considered to be appropriate for such purpose. Especially stopping in tunnels is considered inappropriate. Meanwhile the amount of tunnels on the Polish railway network is growing significantly. This requires application of the Technical Specification for Interoperability regarding Safety in Railway Tunnels (TSI SRT) and set of fire standards EN 45545. Using those requirements is associated with putting tunnels and rolling stock into service under railway interoperability directive 2008/57/WE. Additional analyse is however necessary from operational safety point of view due to growing amount of tunnels and growing diversity of rolling stock. Paper proposes conducting risk analyse in accordance with common safety method for risk evaluation and assessment based on a dedicated European Standard EN 50533 which defines requirements regarding running capability in case of fire on board of the rolling stock. Paper analyses applicability of that approach for group of tunnels and rolling stock fleet comprising different types of rolling stock including Electric Multiple Units.

The possibility of increasing the service life of 18-100 three-piece bogies by using taper bearing units with different types of adapters is considered in the article. The main task is the need to increase the longevity of the running parts of freight cars by reducing their dynamic loading. The solution of this problem is possible by improving the axle boxes. To determine possible design solutions, an analysis was made of modern domestic and foreign designs of bogies using bearing assemblies with adapters and three types of adapters with the highest quality indicators, namely the half-box of the 18-7020 bogie, adapter with elastic packing and adapter of the 18-4129 bogie. Three models of adapters were investigated using the finite-elements method, which, in accordance with reported manufacturer’s data, have high reliability index and can provide equal load distribution between bearing systems rollers. The results of mathematical simulation suggest that the forces applied to the bearing systems rollers largely depend on the adapter design. Furthermore, the studied adapter designs are not acceptable and require further designing.

Chain- disc conveyors are widely used in the organization of the distribution of fodder for livestock farms of different types due to the simplicity of design and high reliability conveyors of this type. The portion of mixed fodder, transported by chain- disc transporter, is characterized by the following geometric parameters: the length of the l1and l2sections, the angle forming the bulk of the slope, the radius R of the cylindrical part of the piece is equal to the radius of the conveyor fodder line. In accordance with the kinds of the transported forms of the bulk of the body, the mode of the chain- disk conveyor can be divided into three types: an unloaded conveyor, loaded conveyor, overloaded conveyor. The volume of fodder portions may be expressed as a function of the length of the cylindrical portion l1. When fodder’s driving on a gently sloping portions of conveyor sections, this function will have a different appearance under different loading modes. With the change in the angle of the conveyor, the character depending on the length of the cylindrical portion is not changed, only change the boundaries of reality functions for different boot modes. At the angle of inclination of the conveyor х = 400, the total angle of the slope forming the bulk φ+х = 900, i.e., the forming plane flatness becomes perpendicular to the axis of the conveyor, and a granular body takes the form of a cylinder. With such tilted of transporter, body particulate volume is a linear function of its length, and the conveyor operates in the linear regime only boot.

The World

The automotive industry makes a significant contribution to the global economic production. Its annual turnover is comparable to the sixth largest economy in the world. The automotive industry accounts for about 5% of the world Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The automotive industry has a powerful multiplier effect and stimulates the development of a number of other industries. Automotive products account for about half of the world's oil consumption, half of the rubber produced, 25% of glass and about 15% of steel. Note that the size and structure of the automotive market often act as indicators of the level of economic development, and its state quickly and accurately reflects the changes taking place in the world economy.0 The average service life of a car is up to 15-20 years, depending on many factors. The service life is significantly reduced when the car is exposed to aggressive operating conditions. Most often, the car fails due to corrosion damage (corrosion) of its parts: the body, pipelines, elements of brake systems, frames and other important components. The damage caused to humanity by corrosion is enormous. According to various sources, corrosion "eats" from 10 to 25% of the world's iron production. As a result of corrosion of the load-bearing and critical elements of the rolling stock of road transport, reliability and performance, passive safety and road safety are sharply reduced, which requires the use of new effective means and methods to increase the corrosion resistance of critical parts and components of the car. One of the effective solutions to improve the anti - corrosion properties is the application of an insulating coating on the surface of the metal, which can significantly reduce the rate of its corrosion. However, it is necessary to take into account the economic component and the complexity of the technological process. For minibuses of the “GAZEL” family operated in Yerevan, it is of particular importance to increase the corrosion resistance of parts and load-bearing elements of the body.

The Bodies’ Poetry: Eva Runefelt, Eva Ström and Swedish Poetry in the Late 1970’s In the mid 1970’s a new type of poetry, associated with the body, emerged in Sweden. Especially young women writers appeared to take Swedish poetry in new aesthetic directions, exploring questions regarding experience and language. This article focuses on two prominent writers, Eva Runefelt and Eva Ström, and discusses how their different types of poetry can be said to be a bodies’ poetry, and how it was discussed in contemporary literary critique. It also reflects on why this strand of poetry has been granted such a peripheral place in literary history.

Junction Points

One of the latest trends in the transport field is the increasing interest for the rejuvenation of the railway. It is considered to be a logical consequence of the gradual switch towards a more sustainable future in transports. Terminals and stations are considered to be the junction points between the various lines that constitute the railway network and can simply be described as points of arrival, departure and interchange of passengers or commodities. The most commonly used indicators that measure the level of their performance are time and cost. This study aims at exploring possible improvements that could be implemented to the infrastructure and the operation of terminals and stations in order to increase the efficiency level. Firstly, drawing upon grounded theory about rail infrastructure and terminals, a description is conducted, followed by a comparative analysis of the different types of existing terminals and stations. Secondly, the suggested improvements are presented in accordance with their time frame completion. The main contribution of this study is to illustrate the high significance of terminals, stations and yards, acknowledging them as crucial parts of the railway network, because as characterized and demonstrated in this study, their performance are key factors to the whole network performance, making the identification of their critical points and respective possible solutions, the final objective of this paper. In addition to this, emphasis is given to the need of improving and developing the existing terminal infrastructure and operations.
