Investigations of the frequency of bending vibrations of the car bodies of 61-4440 model range, which includes compartment cars, staff cars, non-compartment cars, coach cars, restaurant cars and others, are described. The bodies of all cars of this model range have the same overall dimensions and are made of corrosionresistant steels (stainless) with flat corrugated sheathing of the lower (under the window) belt.To assess the influence of the design features of stainless steel bodies on its bending stiffness and the parameters of bending vibrations in the vertical plane, a computational and experimental complex of works was carried out.After analyzing the calculation results and experimental data, proposals were developed and implemented to increase the bending stiffness of the metal body structure with stainless steel skin. To check the implemented proposals, complex tests were carried out to determine the parameters of bending vibrations of the metal structure of the experimental body. The tests were carried out according to the combined method developed by the authors. For this, a vibrator, installed in the console parts of the body, and impulse excitation were used.The results of testing the metal structure of the experimental body in comparison with the results of testing the car bodies of 61-4440 model range showed the effectiveness of the implemented proposals, namely: increasing the frequency of the first tone of bending vibrations by 18 %; decrease in the amplitude of vertical vibrations of the body structure at the frequency of the first tone from 12 to 50 %; decrease in the amplitude of the vertical accelerations of the metal structure of the body during oscillations at the frequency of the first tone approximately by 2 times; significant reduction in horizontal acceleration in the area of the middle section walls. The effectiveness of the implemented proposals for increasing the bending stiffness of the metal structure of the experimental body allows recommending them for the entire model range of 61-4440 cars.

The consideration of existing methods for a modal analysis has shown a possibility for the lowest frequency definition of bending vibrations in a coach car body in a vertical plane based on an indirect method reduced to the assessment of the bending stiffness of the one-dimensional model as a Bernoulli-Euler beam with fragment-constant parameters. The assessment mentioned can be obtained by means of the comparison of model deflections (rated) and a prototype (measured experimentally upon a natural body) with the use of the least-squares method that results in the necessity of the solution of the multi-dimensional problem with the reverse coefficient. The introduction of the hypothesis on ratability of real bending stiffness of the prototype and easily calculated geometrical stiffness of a model reduces a multi-dimensional problem incorrect according to Adamar to the simplest search of the extremum of one variable function. The procedure offered for the indirect assessment of bending stiffness was checked through the solution of model problems. The values obtained are offered to use for the assessment of the lowest frequency of bending vibrations with the aid of Ritz and Grammel methods. In case of rigid poles it results in formulae for frequencies into which there are included directly the experimental values of deflections.

In recently years, Automotive industry in Vietnam is a fast growing sector, mainly reliant on domestic produces, assembly and sales. There are some details of cars that have been modeled, calculated to research and fabricate. Body vibration of the vehicles is one of the criteria to evaluate quality in the process of manufacturing and assembling automobiles. There are so many factors affecting on vibration of vehicles, in that body structure is one of the main causes. Up to now, automobiles manufactured and assembled in Vietnam have not yet had specific evaluations and standards on vibration. Determination of characteristic body vibration is a main part to reduce sound and vibration. In this paper, the modelling and calculating the body’s characteristic vibration of cars manufactured, assembled in Vietnam was researched. The body structure is designed by 3D model using commercial Catia Software. The model was transformed from Catia software to Hypermesh software, using finite element method to simulate. The calculation results of 25 measurement characteristic vibrations whose frequency is in range of 22.77 Hz to 97.21 Hz. The results are shown that, characteristic vibration of state 1 and 2 significantly influence the noise of the body. This is also the basis for optimal analysis of the body structure to control the vibration and noise of automobiles.

Finding ways to optimize the body structure is an important point in the design of new electric train cars. Reducing the mass of the body leads to a lightening of the parts of the rolling stock associated with it, a reduction in energy consumption for operation and a decrease in wear in the “wheel — rail”system. Reducing the weight of the body is possible by assigning optimal rigidity to its main load-bearing elements. Increasing the rigidity of the body with a constant mass is also an important task to obtain the standard dynamic properties of the car body.The article presents method for optimizing the body structure based on calculating the value of its first frequency of natural bending vibrations. The calculation was carried out by the finite element method using a simplified beam-shell parametric model. Within the optimization calculations, 3125 working versions of sections of the main load-bearing structural elements with different rigidity were considered — bracing and cross-beams of the frame, inter-window racks and cross-beams of the roof. The sensitivity of the value of the natural vibration frequency to the change in the rigidity of the main bearing elements without taking into account the change in mass is analyzed. It was found that the rigidity of the frame bracing and cross beams has the greatest influence on the frequency value. It is shown that the ratio of the rigidity of the main bearing elements does not remain constant for optimal design options and depends on the design of the body, the target values of its mass and rigidity. When mass is limited, it is possible to choose designs that are characterized by the greatest overall body rigidity and are the most optimal in terms of manufacturability. By limiting the values of natural vibration frequency, it is possible to choose a body structure with the lowest metal mass. The presented approach allows making decisions on body modification based on the required parameters of mass and (or) the frequency of natural bending vibrations. This approach can be used in pre-design studies of the bodies of new passenger rolling stock.

The estimation of the first-born cows of Ukrainian Black-and-White dairy breed by the exterior type in the leading breeding herds of Cherkassy region by the method of linear classification (n = 566) has been carried out. The results of the evaluated animals by the 100-score system indicate that within the group of traits, the average level of assessment is "good with the plus". The animals have been differed by the good development of group features characterizing the dairy type (82.4 score), body condition (83.5 score), limbs (82.8 score), udder (82.7 score) and overall score (82.8 score). The degree of development 18 descriptive traits of the exterior of cows, has been predicted by the method of linear classification, indicates their significant intraherd variability. Animals have the moderate height, deep body and angularity. The rump angle, the angle of hock joint and the teats length, according to the variability of scores in the range of 17.8–22.4%, have an average optimal development. The level of scores for the rear width (5.9 score), attachment of the fore (6.3 score) and the rear parts (6.0 score) of the udder testifies to their good development. The body structure of the cows-firstborn has a sufficient description of the type traits that determine their milk yield. At the present stage of selection and breeding work due to the use of bull-sires different origins and breeding value on the local population livestock with significant genotype diversity, the degree of influence each of the hereditary factors in the overall variability of linear features has a scientific and practical significance. In our studies, the force of influence conditional bloodiness of the Holstein mother's breed in the overall fraction of variability of linear type traits within the exterior complexes and the overall assessment takes a significant percentage - from 24.9 to 31.5 with a high degree of reliability according to Fischer's criterion. Among the descriptive traits, the proportion of influence the conditional bloodiness of mother, which is confirmed by high statistical confidence, ranges from 14.4 to 19.8%, and refers to the traits important for breeding. The level of coefficients of influence the father's breeding value in the total phenotypic variability for some of the linear traits is high and reliable. First of all it concerns group traits of the exterior, the development of which is determined by the pedigree value of father by 37.1–41.8%, and the overall assessment of type – by 46.6%. The coefficients of influence father's breeding value in most of the descriptive traits have high reliability (P < 0,001). The coefficients of the force of influence father, depending on the heredity of Holstein for the linear traits of almost the same level as his pedigree value. Since in this case the organized factor is purebreed Holstein and crossbreed bulls-sires of domestic selection, the positive role of Holstein heredity in improving the exterior type of cows has been traced realistically. The necessity of linear breeding, as an effective method in the system of dairy cattle breeding, has been substantiated by reliable values of the coefficients of the force of influence of father's line on the linear traits of offspring (3.4–29.5%). Despite the significant variability of coefficients of the force of influence on the linear traits, most of them have a high level of reliability within the evaluated body parts important for selection. The effect of cows belonging to the maternal line on the development of features of the body structure is insignificant and unreliable (5.3–9.2%). In the process of breeding aimed at improving cows of dairy herd by the exterior type, the pedigree value of parents has been assessed according to the method of linear classification of their daughters and their belonging to perspective genealogical formations.

Twenty-one consecutive patients with displaced talar neck fractures (12 Hawkins type II, 9 Hawkins type III) were prospectively evaluated with magnetic resonance (MR) scans performed between 3 days and 12 months after surgery. All patients underwent open reduction and internal fixation with titanium screws, except two who underwent fixation with stainless steel implants that were subsequently removed. All patients had plain radiographs. We classified the scans as follows: type A, no abnormal signal changes in the body of the talus; type B, signal changes in less than 25% of the body; type C, signal changes in 25% to 50% of the body; and type D, signal changes in greater than 50% of the body. Plain anteroposterior radiographs correlated well with MR scans in patients with type D scans, but an inconsistent correlation was noted with lesser degrees of signal changes (types A–C), with the MR scans being more accurate in displaying the volume of avascular bone. Scans obtained less than 3 weeks after injury were not helpful in assessing for avascular necrosis. We found that high-quality MR images of the talus were consistently obtained in the presence of titanium screws in contrast to images obtained with stainless steel implants. We use titanium screws in all talar neck fracture repairs, because they permit high-quality MR images. We believe that further study of patients with Hawkins type III fractures and Hawkins type II fractures with equivocal radiographic evidence of avascular necrosis is warranted to try to identify those patients at risk for collapse and perhaps to guide weightbearing recommendations.

Artificial material such as stainless steel (SS) is widely used for orthopaedic applications owing to its superior properties, ease of fabrication and lower cost. However, in the body environment, stainless steel can leach toxic elements such as nickel and chromium. To prevent this, a hydroxyapatite (HAp) coating having chemical characteristics very similar to the human bone was deposited on a medical-grade UNS S31254 austenitic stainless steel by a Low-velocity oxy-fuel spray gun (LVOF). The coating was characterised by using a field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscope (FTIR). The adhesion strength, microhardness and corrosion behaviour were studied using the Tensometre, Vickers microhardness tester and potentiodynamic polarisation with electrochemical impedance spectroscope. The bacterial adhesion and bioactivity of the coating were also evaluated. The LVOF sprayed HAp coating has shown better corrosion resistance, higher bioactivity and higher hardness than the uncoated steel. The presence of tricalcium phosphate, octa-calcium phosphate (OCP) and tetra-calcium phosphate (TTCP) was found in the coating. LVOF sprayed HAp coating is also found suitable in lowering the bacterial adhesion on the steel substrate.
