DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS FOR TRAIN STARTING WITH ELASTIC CONNECTIONS

The starting mode for the train is the most difficult. An effective method of pulling is the selection of coupling clearances. In this case, the cars are set in motion sequentially and the inert mass, as well as the static friction force immediately at the moment of starting, are minimal. This method has two significant drawbacks - a small fixed value of the gaps in the couplings and the shock nature of the impulse transfer. These disadvantages can be avoided by using elastically deformable couplings. The aim of this work is to construct a mathematical model of "easy" starting of a train with elastic couplings. The softening of the train start-off mode is essentially due to the replacement of the simultaneous start-off of the sections with alternate ones. To exclude longitudinal vibrations of the composition, after reaching the maximum tension of the coupling, the possibility of its harmonic compression should be mechanically blocked.

THRUST FORCE PREDICTION MODEL FOR DRILLING UNIDIRECTIONAL CARBON PLASTICS WITH WEAR OF THE CUTTING TOOL

One of the most important tasks in the production of carbon fiber products is to ensure the specified accuracy and quality of the drilled holes. A model for predicting the thrust force, taking into account the degree of tool wear, is proposed. First, the geometric characteristics of the wear of the spiral drill tool are analyzed. Further, the contact conditions between the drill and the carbon fiber are determined in accordance with the geometric characteristics of the tool wear. Based on the mechanics of the contact interaction of surfaces, the thrust forces of the main cutting edges and the chisel edge are modeled, taking into account the degree of tool wear. The results obtained are integrated into the thrust force prediction model. An example of an experimental study of the drilling carbon fiber is given. The results obtained show a fairly accurate prediction of the cutting force, taking into account the wear of the cutting tool.

ANALYSIS AND RESEARCH OF ADJUSTABILITY OF EQUIPMENT FOR INTERNAL SMALL-SIZED THREADING

The article presents the results of analysis and theoretical research in the direction of improving equipment for internal threading of parts in a flexible automated production. Methods for assessing the flexibility and readjustability of equipment are considered, which can be used as the basis for the developed methodology for the synthesis of technological elements of modules in conditions of computer-aided design. It is proposed to consider the technological system of the flexible manufacturing module (FMM) of threading, as a system in which transitions from state to state occur under the action of the simplest flows with the parameters of the transition probabilities of a continuous Markov chain. The developed mathematical model, which describes the states of a FMM, taking into account the readjustment of its technological elements, makes it possible to reflect the influence on the operation of the module of the parameters of applications for the changeover of processing modes, a tool, a power threading head, basic elements of a machine tool, a device, a loading device. The structure of the model and the labeled graph of the states of the system can be improved as the number of parameters and characteristics is refined. The solution of the resulting system of equations of final probabilities using the normalization condition allows for given (or experimentally obtained) intensities of arrival and service of changeover requests for FMM of threading, to obtain the values of the probability of non-changeover operation, as well as the probabilities of finding the system in an inoperative state due to the corresponding changeovers. For complete information and an objective assessment of the preferred option for use in FMS conditions, it is also necessary to take into account the stochastic processes occurring in the system under real operating conditions.

TRACTION DRIVE OF LOCOMOTIVES WITH HIGH MOMENTUM COLLECTOR TRACTION ELECTRIC MOTOR

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.

USE OF GROOVED SURFACES TO IMPROVE HYDRODYNAMIC, CAVITATION AND ACOUSTIC CHARACTERISTICS OF WINGS AND ELEMENTS OF VANE PROPULSION SYSTEMS (REVIEW)

The paper reviews the use of grooved surfaces and sawtooth (chevron) edges to control the flow parameters of the wings, propeller blades and elements of vane propulsion systems operating in both gaseous and liquid media. Particular attention is paid to the physical mechanisms of improving the hydrodynamic, cavitation and acoustic characteristics under the influence of a grooved surface. These mechanisms are associated with a change in the flow structure in the region of the laminar-turbulent transition, the peculiarities of the occurrence of cavitation and acoustic radiation in the region of the outgoing edges. The results of the verification of computational models describing the behavior of the flow taking into account the laminar-turbulent transition, the use of which is necessary for studying flows near a grooved surface, are presented.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL OF THE CUTTING SURFACES OF THE CUTTING PART OF NANO–COATED SCANS

The analysis of the temperature change of the contact surfaces of the cutting part of the reamer and the theoretical calculation under various processing conditions for the reaming process are carried out. A block diagram of the installation is presented, which allows recording the temperature change in the cutting zone on a computer in real time. It was found that with the effective use of nanocoatings (epilams), the friction coefficient decreases, thereby decreasing the temperature of the deployment process and increasing the tool life.
