A brief analysis of suspension mechanisms and ways to improve the quality of press harvesting for flax harvesting is considered. By researching the mathematical model, the authors prove the possibility of increasing the stability of the elastic characteristics of the suspension mechanisms by changing the angle between the levers or changing the geometry of the structure, for example, the attachment point of a two-arm lever. Particular attention is drawn to the new term “reduced rigidity” of the suspension mechanism. Using this notion and the method of its determination, the authors recommend determining the optimal value of the reduced stiffness of the suspension in the way of mathematical modeling and using this indicator as the main optimization parameter. The results of theoretical and experimental studies were presented by the authors in the form of elastic characteristics of the suspension mechanisms. When conducting a study of the mathematical model, it is suggested to take into account the condition of equality of the maximum values of the moments of forces from the action of the tension forces of the belts or the mass of the working element and the moment of forces acting on the side of the tension springs. During the research of the suspension mechanism, the actual dimensions of the PR-1.5 baler design were adopted. At the same time, we briefly describe the design of the improved tensioning mechanism of a baler for flax harvesting. A rather detailed analysis is given by the authors of the obtained elastic characteristics of the suspension mechanism. Some new features of the elastic characteristics of the suspension mechanism that have not been previously detected are described. To confirm the correctness of the reasoning, the authors implemented their research in a real press-picker and conducted field research that confirmed the possibility of improving the quality of the upgraded version of the machine. To confirm the results of the research, the authors presented a fragment of the field test protocol. The task is solved, uniformity of the roll density is ensured and its density is increased.

The article deals with the development of a physical model of a car equipped with measuring, recording and remote control equipment for experimental study of car properties. A detailed description of the design of the physical model and of the electronic modules used is given, links to application libraries and the code of the first part of the program for remote control of the model are given. Atmega microcontroller on the Arduino Uno platform was used to manage the model and register the parameters. When moving the car on the memory card saved such parameters as speed, voltage on the motor, current on the motor, the angle of the steered wheel, acceleration along three coordinate axes are recorded. Use of more powerful microcontrollers will allow to expand the list of the registered parameters of movement of the car. It is possible to measure the forces acting on the elements of the car and other parameters. In the future, it is planned to develop a mathematical model of motion of the car and check its adequacy in conducting experimental studies on maneuverability on the physical model. In addition, it is possible to conduct studies of stability and consumption of electrical energy. The physical model allows to quickly change geometric dimensions and mass parameters. In the study of highway trains, this approach will allow to investigate the various layout schemes of highway trains in the short term. It is possible to make two-axle road trains and saddle towed trains, three-way hitched trains of different layout. The results obtained will allow us to improve not only the mathematical model, but also the experimental physical model, and move on to further study the properties of hybrid road trains with an active trailer link. This approach allows to reduce material and time costs when researching the properties of cars and road trains. Keywords: car, physical model, experiment, road trains, sensor, remote control, maneuverability, stability.

Cilia on the surface of ciliated cells in the respiratory system are organelles that beat forward and backward to generate metachronal waves to propel mucus out of lungs. The layer that contains the cilia, coating the interior epithelial surface of the bronchi and bronchiolesis, is called the periciliary layer (PCL). With fluid nourishment, cilia can move efficiently. The fluid in this region is named the PCL fluid and is considered to be an incompressible, viscous, Newtonian fluid. We propose there to be a free boundary at the tips of cilia underlining a gas phase while the cilia are moving forward. The Brinkman equation on a macroscopic scale, in which bundles of cilia are considered rather than individuals, with the Stefan condition was used in the PCL to determine the velocity of the PCL fluid and the height/shape of the free boundary. Regarding the numerical methods, the boundary immobilization technique was applied to immobilize the moving boundaries using coordinate transformation (working with a fixed domain). A finite element method was employed to discretize the mathematical model and a finite difference approach was applied to the Stefan problem to determine the free interface. In this study, an effective stroke is assumed to start when the cilia make a 140∘ angle to the horizontal plane and the velocitiesof cilia increase until the cilia are perpendicular to the horizontal plane. Then, the velocities of the cilia decrease until the cilia make a 40∘ angle with the horizontal plane. From the numerical results, we can see that although the velocities of the cilia increase and then decrease, the free interface at the tips of the cilia continues increasing for the full forward phase. The numerical results are verified and compared with an exact solution and experimental data from the literature. Regarding the fixed boundary, the numerical results converge to the exact solution. Regarding the free interface, the numerical solutions were compared with the average height of the PCL in non-cystic fibrosis (CF) human tissues and were in excellent agreement. This research also proposes possible values of parameters in the mathematical model in order to determine the free interface. Applications of these fluid flows include animal hair, fibers and filter pads, and rice fields.

Abstract Clearance is inevitable in the kinematic joints of mechanisms. In this paper the dynamic behavior of a crank-slider mechanism with clearance in its tripod-ball sliding joint is investigated theoretically and experimentally. The mathematical model of this new-type joint is established, and the new concepts of basal system and active system are put forward. Based on the mode-change criterion established in this paper, the consistent equations of motion in full-scale are derived by using Kane method. The experimental rig was set up to measure the effects of the clearance on the dynamic response. Corresponding experimental studies verify the theoretical results satisfactorily. In addition, due to the nonlinear elements in the improved mathematical model of the joint with clearance, the chaotic responses are found in numerical simulation.

The purpose of this work is to study the known method of division of pipes by introducing a figure knife and the development of promising designs of equipment for division of pipes into measured workpieces. Based on the analysis of the actuating crank-slider mechanisms used in the equipment for division of pipes into measured workpieces, promising schemes of short-connecting rod mechanisms have been discovered that provide a local pipe section along the perimeter. The developed design of the device for dividing pipes into dimensional workpieces by the eccentric twisting method, which contains a wedge-joint mechanism in combination with a compact circular actuator, also allows to reduce energy and power costs for separation, reduce the consequences of instantaneous unloading of equipment and ensure high quality workpieces. A mathematical model of the proposed equipment was developed and the modeling of the cutting process was carried out using the DEFORM-3D software package. The analysis of the results obtained showed that in the extreme positions of the knives, jamming of the knives is possible. To eliminate jamming, it is necessary that the knives do not reach the extreme position. The adequacy of the mathematical model is confirmed by experimental studies. The error of the calculated and measured values of the torque on the cutting knife does not exceed 10%. This is due to the need for a more correct accounting of friction on the contact surfaces of the equipment. Cut tubular blanks have high geometric accuracy and high quality of the cut surface.

The relevance of the research processes filtration consolidation due to the place of water-saturated soils in various design solutions related to the exploration, production and transportation of hydrocarbons. It should be noted that the diversity of soils led to the emergence of a wide range of mathematical models, obtained on the basis of generalization of experimental data and various assumptions to simplify engineering calculations. The article presents the results of theoretical and experimental studies of the mathematical model of the consolidation process of a water-saturated porous medium. This model is based on simplifying assumptions that are different from those adopted in well-known solutions. A fundamental approach to the formation of the model was developed on the basis of the kinetic representations of chemical reactions used in solving the environmental problems of epoxidation reactions of olefins. We determined the parameters of the mathematical model of the consolidation process of the saturated porous medium of clayey soil and confirmed its adequacy by the research results. In addition, we established the parameters of the field of non-equilibrium filtration, reducing the nonexistent ability of water-saturated soils.

Abstract The mathematical model of physicochemical iron removal from groundwater was developed. It consists of three interrelated compartments. The results of the experimental research provide information in support of the first two compartments of the mathematical model. The dependencies for the concentrations of the adsorbed ferrous iron and deposited hydroxide concentrations are obtained as a result of the exact solution of the system of the mass transfer equations for two forms of iron in relation to the inlet surface of the bed. An analysis of the experimental data of the dynamics of the deposit accumulation in a small bed sample was made, using a special application that allowed to select the values of the kinetic coefficients and other model parameters based on these dependencies. We evaluated the autocatalytic effect on the dynamics of iron ferrous and ferric forms. The verification of the mathematical model was carried out involving the experimental data obtained under laboratory and industrial conditions.
