The article substantiates the necessity of supplementing the existing estimate of the track position in the plan by the difference of adjacent bending arrows with an estimate of deviations from the fixed initial position, which ensures the constancy of the characteristics of a single-radius curve or the components of a multi-radius curve along their entire length. As a fixed initial position of the reference base (base position), it is proposed to accept the design position or the position of the track after the repair performed according to the project, and in the absence of the project, the calculated position obtained using verified programs. The question of determining the values of the deviation of the position of the curves at individual points from the base position and their ranking for different variants of recording the curves is considered. As possible options for surveying are considered Geodetic measurement methods using Cartesian and polar coordinate systems, methods of obtaining information from transformed data from sensors of track measuring cars, as well as the classical method of measuring the arrows of the bend of a curve.The article presents the results of calculating the indicators of the interaction between the track and the rolling stock (frame and horizontal transverse forces, lateral deflections of rails) when modeling the motion of a freight car along curves, the parameters of which were obtained on the basis of analysis of data from experimental sections. The calculation results are correlated with the analyzed data on the presence of deviations from the base position in the curves.

Dimensions and tolerances in the “wheelset — railway track” system are interconnected, since the normative values of geometric parameters and shape of the elements of the wheelsets and the track's upper structure are directly de pendent. In 2018– 2019 in order to establish the minimum permissible thickness of wheel flanges for freight cars in operation and to determine the influence of the thickness and shape of wheel flanges on the safe passage of turnout elements, JSC “VNIIZhT” conducted comprehensive stu dies, including the development of a methodo logy and mathematical modeling of the interaction of wheelsets and turnout elements. Features of modeling the dynamic proces ses of the entry of the first bogie of a freight car into the railway turnout when running to the side track are presented. The process of moving a freight car along the turnout is described de pending on the geometric parameters of the wheelset and track elements of the turnout, the position in the gauge of its first bogie before running into the switch point. Results of calculations of the lateral forces of the interaction of the wheelset and the turnout show that when running on, the maximum forces occurred during wheel impacts in the turnout elements, which depend on the conditions of the bogie entering the turnout. The initial position of the bogie and the peculiarities of its motion in the gauge determine the position of the meeting point and the value of the angle of incidence, their combination determines the maximum value of the force when moving to the lateral track, which, depending on the entry conditions, can differ by more than twice. Calculations showed that a change in the angle of inclination of the flange from 60 to 70° leads to a decrease in the safety factor of rolling stock on the turnout by 1.5 times. Required minimum value of the inclination of the wheel flange, ensuring safety (qR parameter), is determined by the creation of conditions that do not allow the wheel to run onto the tip of the switch point. Under existing norms of wear of turnout elements and the relative position of their rail elements, as well as taking into account the results of the calculations, the permissible value of qR should be in the range of 6.0...6.5 mm.

The purpose of this study is to compare the load calculation results by a model using the air changes per hour (ACH) method and a model using an airflow network (AFN) and to ascertain what causes the difference between the two models. In the basic case study, the difference in the heat transfer distribution of the model in the interior space was investigated. The most significant difference between the two models is the heat transfer that results from infiltration. Parameter analysis was performed to investigate the relationship between the difference and the environmental variables. The result shows that the greater the difference is between the air temperature inside the balcony and the outdoor air temperature, and the greater the air flows from the balcony to the residential area, and the greater the heating and cooling load difference occurs. The analysis using the actual weather files of five domestic cities in South Korea rather than a virtual case shows that the differences are not so obvious when the wind blows at a constant speed throughout the year, but are dominant when the wind does not blow during the night and is stronger alongside the occurrence of sunlight during the day.

AbstractWe investigate direct speech quotation in informal oral narratives by analyzing the contribution of bodily articulators (character viewpoint gestures, character facial expression, character intonation, and the meaningful use of gaze) in three quote environments, or quote sequences – single quotes, quoted monologues and quoted dialogues – and in initial vs. non-initial position within those sequences. Our analysis draws on findings from the linguistic and multimodal realization of quotation, where multiple articulators are often observed to be co-produced with single direct speech quotes (e.g. Thompson & Suzuki 2014), especially on the so-called left boundary of the quote (Sidnell 2006). We use logistic regression to model multimodal quote production across and within quote sequences, and find unique sets of multimodal articulators accompanying each quote sequence type. We do not, however, find unique sets of multimodal articulators which distinguish initial from non-initial utterances; utterance position is instead predicted by type of quote and presence of a quoting predicate. Our findings add to the growing body of research on multimodal quotation, and suggest that the multimodal production of quotation is more sensitive to the number of characters and utterances which are quoted than to the difference between introducing and maintaining a quoted characters’ perspective.

The world trend, recently, is the creation of a high-speed cargo rolling stock for speeds with 160 km / h. In these condition, the durability of the structure of the cargo car are relevant. In the process of movement in the design of the car, voltages occur, variables in time. Under the action of alternating voltages in the design elements, the process of gradual accumulation of damage, leading to the formation of microscopic crack, and then to its development and subsequent sudden destruction - metal fatigue. One of the main properties of the wagon is the ability to withstand operational loads acting on it while maintaining this ability without destruction at all stages of the life cycle. The assessment of the bearing capacity is determined by the results of the undercarriage tests, the purpose of which is the definition and assessment of the reserve coefficient of fatigue resistance of the equivalent reduced amplitude of dy-namic stresses. As a rule, dynamic stresses are random due to the perturbing effect on the side of the rail path on the wheeled pairs, which are also random. Therefore, an important section of the study is the choice of methods for obtaining, processing and analyzing experimental data. Improving the reliability of test results is achieved by applying more advanced recording methods and processing results. To estimate the level of loading of the cargo car, methods are used based on the replacement of a real random process by some schematized process, which in terms of the accumulation of fatigue damage should be equivalent to a real process. Of the variety of schematics methods, two methods are distinguished - the method of complete cycles and the rain method, which most fully reflect the real process. The advantage of the "rain" method is the ability to process the process in real time. However, the algorithm of the "rain" method is quite complicated and does not allow processing large amounts of information. In this regard, the method of maximum discharges was proposed, which is a type of full cycles method and allows you to process an unlimited amount of information online. The schematic process is divided into classes - voltage amplitudes values. Depending on the distribution of voltage amplitudes in classes, the frequency (probability) of amplitude in the class is established. The reduced amplitude of the dynamic voltage is defined as the amount of products of the likelihood of entering each class on the average magnitude of the voltage amplitude in the class. Key words: cargo car, process, dynamic, voltage, amplitude.

One of the most important problems that pose a serious threat to the functioning of railways is the problem of freight cars derailment. However, according to statistics, the number of cases of the derailments of freight cars in trains annually grows. Тo prevent such cases, the necessary preventive measures are developed, and to study the causes of their occurrence, a significant number of mathematical models, programs and software systems created by leading domestic and foreign scientists. Studies of such mathematical models by the authors of this work have led to the conclusion that they are not sufficiently detailed to the extent that it is necessary for analyze the reasons of its derailment. At the same time, an analysis of the causes of the rolling stock derailments on the railways of Ukraine over the past five years showed that in about 20 % of cases they are obvious, and in 7 % of cases they are not obvious and implicitly expressed. The study of such cases of rolling stock derailment during an official investigation by the railway and during forensic railway transport expertises requires the use of an improved mathematical model of a freight car, which would allow a quantitative assessment of the impact of its parameters and rail track on the conditions of railway accidents. Therefore, taking into account the main reasons that caused the occurrence of such railroad accidents over the last five years on the railways of Ukraine, the article selected the main directions for improving the mathematical model of a freight car, allowing to cover all the many factors (explicit and hidden) and identify the most significant ones regarding the circumstances of the derailment rolling stock off the track, established on the basis of a computer experiment. It is proposed in the mathematical model of a freight car to take into account the guiding force, the value of which is one of the main indicators of the stability of the rolling stock. The authors of the article noted that not taking into account the influence of the guiding forces on the dynamics of the freight car can lead to an erroneous determination of the reasons for the rolling stock derailment or even to the impossibility of establishing them.

Abstract Passenger rolling stock often operates with a softer suspension than used in freight cars, in order to obtain good ride quality. In order to maximize seating, interior width forces exterior width to approach Plate C freight car dimensions. Close clearance to platforms is an important safety consideration for passenger entrance and egress. The associated rolling stock and platform designs need to be considered as clearance issues, especially in mixed passenger and freight traffic operations. Some passenger railroads that operate self-propelled cars use a third rail for power collection, which presents a clearance constraint on curves, particularly for the undercar equipment that is common on these cars. Maximum height at center of cars and locomotives is constrained by catenary clearance in some operations. Clearance considerations for passenger rolling stock on new and/or existing properties are covered using a general approach. Examples are presented which illustrate some of the factors that need to be considered in clearance investigations.

When the various reinforced concrete structures are designed according to EC2 and STR, the difference of calculation results, is quite significant. In this article the calculations of shear strength of bending reinforced concrete elements are investigated according to these standards. The comparison of such calculations is also significant in the sense that the shear strength calculations are carried out according to different principles. The STR regulations are based on work of the shear reinforcement crossing the oblique section and the compressed concrete at the end of the section. In this case, at the supporting zone, the external bending moment and shear force should be in equilibrium with the internal forces in reinforcement and compressed concrete, i.e., the cross section must be checked not only from the external shear force, but also from bending moment. In EC2 standard, the shear strengths are calculated according to simplified truss model, which consists of the tension shear reinforcement bars and compressed concrete struts. The bending moment is not estimated. After calculation analysis of these two methods the relationships between shear strength and various element parameters are presented. The elements reinforced with stirrups and bends are investigated additionally because in EC2 this case is not presented. According to EC2 the simplified truss model solution depends on the compression strut angle value θ, which is limited in certain interval. Since the component of tension reinforcement bar directly depends on the angle θ and the component of compression strut depends on it conversely, then exists some value θ when the both components are equal. So the angle θ can be found when such two components will be equated. However, such calculation of angle θ became complicated if the load is uniform, because then the components of tension bar are estimated not in support cross section but in cross section that are displaced by distance d. So, the cube equation should be solved. For simplification of such solution the graphical method to find out the angle θ and the shear strength are presented. In these graphics the intersection point of two components (shear reinforcement and concrete) curves describes the shear strength of element.

A Black Hole (BH) is a spacetime region with a horizon and where geodesics converge to a singularity. At such a point, the gravitational field equations fail. As an alternative to the problem of the singularity arises the existence of Exotic Compact Objects (ECOs) that prevent the problem of the singularity through a transition phase of matter once it has crossed the horizon. ECOs are characterized by a closeness parameter or cutoff, ϵ, which measures the degree of compactness of the object. This parameter is established as the difference between the radius of the ECO’s surface and the gravitational radius. Thus, different values of ϵ correspond to different types of ECOs. If ϵ is very big, the ECO behaves more like a star than a black hole. On the contrary, if ϵ tends to a very small value, the ECO behaves like a black hole. It is considered a conceptual model of the origin of the cutoff for ECOs, when a dust shell contracts gravitationally from an initial position to near the Schwarzschild radius. This allowed us to find that the cutoff makes two types of contributions: a classical one governed by General Relativity and one of a quantum nature, if the ECO is very close to the horizon, when estimating that the maximum entropy is contained within the material that composes the shell. Such entropy coincides with the Bekenstein–Hawking entropy. The established cutoff corresponds to a dynamic quantity dependent on coordinate time that is measured by a Fiducial Observer (FIDO). Without knowing the details about quantum gravity, parameter ϵ is calculated, which, in general, allows distinguishing the ECOs from BHs. Specifically, a black shell (ECO) is undistinguishable from a BH.
