The article presents the dependencies obtained when researching the load on the locomotive axles, depending on the traction force and the speed of movement of the locomotive. The traction characteristic of the locomotive is the relationship between the traction force achieved by the traction motors and the speed of movement, and it is different under different driving conditions. Different modes of operation of locomotive axles are considered. A simulation of the axles' behaviour has been developed. The strength and deformation characteristics of the locomotive axles under different loading modes are calculated. A comparative analysis of the strength characteristics of locomotives with different classes of transmission mechanisms has been made

The wet slime tailing pond formed during the production of accumulated bauxite is a source of artificial debris flow hazard with high potential energy. In order to explore the effectiveness of solidification technology in processing bauxite slime, experimental study was conducted on the strength characteristics of cement-solidified slime with bauxite slime as the test object, so as to investigate the impact of cement contents and curing ages on the compressive strength of cement-solidified slime. According to the test results, the strength and deformation characteristics of solidified slime are related to the cement content, and the higher the cement admixed amount, the greater the compressive strength of solidified slime; the cement-solidified slime samples are subject to brittle failure, and with the increase of strain, the stress first rises to its peak and then decreases rapidly. The findings may serve as reference in processing bauxite slime.

The issues of development of traction drives of locomotives are considered. It was found that with the existing limitations of the traction force and the speed of continuous operation, asynchronous traction motors do not have clear advantages over collector motors. The possibility of creating collector motors for electric locomotives with a power equal to the used asynchronous ones has been proved, new technical solutions have been proposed for units that ensure the reliability of the latter when using high-torque motors (elastic gearwheel with chevron teeth, two-layer rubber-metal hinge, rubber-cord clutch options), as an optimal solution for the drive with collector motors, it is proposed to use a drive with a support frame motor and an axial gearbox. The directions of research necessary for the practical implementation of drives with a high-torque traction motor are determined, it is proposed to conduct research on the feasibility of creating diesel locomotives with bogies, unified with electric locomotives. The proposed solutions received two patents for inventions, eight patents for utility models, two patent applications were filed.

The results of studies of porosity, water absorption, moisture shrinkage and frost resistance of cellular concrete, which are some of the main factors determining the durability of cellular concrete enclosing structures manufactured using autoclave hardening technology, are considered. Methods for determining water absorption, moisture shrinkage and frost resistance are presented. The relationship between the moisture shrinkage and the capillary forces (the sum of the surface tension forces on the micromeniscs of liquid in the capillaries of cellular concrete), as well as the dependence of the shrinkage on the size (radius) of the capillary and gas pores of cellular concreteand on the water-solid ratio (W/S-factor) of cellular concrete, is established. In the field of frost resistance of cellular concrete, the relationship between the structure of the pore space of concrete and its deformation characteristics under the action of negative temperatures is studied. The effect of the presence of gas pores in cellular concrete on the reduction of frost expansion deformations is described.

Soil-rock mixture (SRM) is a special geological material that has the unique properties of rock or soil. Studies on the strength characteristics of the SRM have very important theoretical significance and practical value. In this study, the gravel proportions, gravel sizes, gravel shapes, and repetitive results of shear experiments are considered in laboratory experiments and for the identification of strength parameters. To the gravel shapes, from the angle of the composition materials of SRM, the experimental samples include samples with breccia gravels and with subrounded gravels. And, in this study, the laboratory model experiment is used to research the strength characteristics of SRM. In addition, the shear failure mechanism is used to establish the relationship between the microfailure mechanism and the macrostrength parameters identification. Taking gravel proportion, gravel size, gravel shape, and repetitive shear process as the influencing factors of the SRM, the laboratory models have been remolded, and laboratory direct shear experiments have been carried out. The shear deformation laws of the SRM are researched on the basis of the analysis of the curves of shear stress and the horizontal displacement.

It has been unanimously acknowledged that the strength and deformation characteristics of bounded geomaterials, viz. cemented soils and natural rocks, are predominantly governed by the rate of loading/deformation. Rational evaluation of these time-dependent characteristics due to viscosity and ageing are vital for the reliable constitutive modelling. In order to study the effects of ageing and loading/strain rate (viscosity) on the behaviour of bounded geomaterials, a number of unconfined monotonic loading tests were performed on Gypsum Mixed Sand (GMS) specimens at a wide range of axial strain rates; ranging from 1.9E-05 to 5.3E+00 %/min (27,000 folds), and at different curing periods. The results indicate shifts in the viscous behaviour of GMS at critical strain rates of 2.0E-03 and 5.0E-01 %/min. In the light of this finding, the results are categorized into three discrete zones of strain rates, and the behaviour of GMS in each of these zones is discussed. A significant dependency of peak strength and stress-strain responses on strain rate was witnessed for specimens subjected to strain rates lesser than 2.0E-03 %/min, and the effects of viscosity/strain rate was found to be insignificant at strain rate higher than 5.0E-01%/min.
