In this article is considered progressive technology for producing heat-insulating materials by the method of self-compacting masses. Implementation of this method will allow obtain a significant economic effect in comparison with traditional technologies. Due to the use of the effect of obtaining excess pressure in a closed perforated form from an increase in volume during heating of pre-expanded polystyrene granules, it became possible to remove excess moisture, reduce the time of the technological process, and reduce energy consumption. This method allows to combine several processes in one operation: compaction of the mixture, heat treatment, removal of excess moisture. As a result of theoretical and laboratory research and experimental-production approbation, the possibility of implementing of heat-insulating materials of a wide range of applications with improved operational properties into mass production has been obtained. Perlite concrete is one of the effective heat-insulating material, the production of which is possible using the method of self-compacting masses. An assessment of the qualitative efficiency of perlite concrete was carried out: the thermal conductivity coefficient is within the limits required for effective heat-insulating materials. It was concluded that the use of perlite concrete in construction is promising: it is possible to reduce the drying time in 10-12 times, eliminate drying shrinkage, eliminate mechanical processing of products after heat treatment, obtain products of various configurations and volumes, with an improvement in strength characteristics at a minimum density.

This article contains the results of a study of the strength characteristics of concrete with the addition of various amounts and shapes of recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fibers. In general, the use of fiber in concrete from waste PET materials (obtained by mechanical grinding), rather than heat-treated, can increase the tensile strength. The compressive strength is reduced. Industrial flex is not recommended to be used as a fiber (additive) in concrete, as this leads to a decrease in strength characteristics. Increased tensile strength is provided through the use of specially prepared PET fiber. The conducted research proved the possibility of using PET fiber in concrete from waste PET materials (obtained by mechanical grinding) PET fiber is recommended for use in concrete structures to increase tensile strength.

In this work, the phonon format of graphane nanoribbons is calculated in the Hamiltonian formulaism. The geometric model is presented in the form of a graphene plane with hydrogen atoms attached to it. The unit cell of graphane contains two carbon atoms from solid graphene and two carbon atoms. The curvature of the graphene plane as a result of attachment to hydrogen atoms and hybridization of the outer electron orbitals of carbon atoms from sp2 to sp3, as well as the interaction between hydrogen atoms, are not taken into account. Analysis of the obtained phonon spectra shows that, for any type and width of graphane nanoribbons, there is a gap between acoustic and optical vibrational modes, in contrast to graphene, which can serve as an indicator for a given structure. Also, for the material under study, the values ​​of the speed of sound and the Debye temperature were calculated.

The aim of the study is to develop an "evolutionary model" of a transport interchange complex (TIC) - as a kind of ”growth point" of an aeropolis. Methods of “prognostic” and “structural-morphological” modeling of TIC are used for reasonable planning of the growth and development of the aeropolis. Five intermediate architectural and typological models of the transport and transfer complex have been identified: 1) bus station; 2) bus station with logistics center; 3) intermodal complex station; 4) transport and business center; 5) transport and public complex. Its "structural and morphological units", which include: a) functional components; b) structural and tectonic "units"; c) communication "framework"; d) elements of the growth of the aeropolis. A similar diachronic (developing) model of a transport interchange complex ensures its phased planning, optimal functional zoning of the facility for each intermediate phase, which will allow it to be self-sufficient at the early stages of operation. architecture.

The article describes the simulation in the Simulink environment of the operation of a stepper motor used as an electric drive of the scanning mechanism for the Earth orientation device. The purpose of the study is to determine the minimum power consumption in each range of values for inductance and resistance. If the model is found to be inoperable above certain values of the specified parameters, the measurement range narrows to an area where there is enough energy to properly work out a given angle. The simulation is based on the parameters of NEMA17 engines, in particular, NEMA 17HS3410. Voltage control in the system is carried out by means of a PI controller, the influence of the regulator on the energy consumption of the system is shown. The regularities of the formation of angular velocity of various amplitudes when working out a turn in open and closed control systems are noted. The range of electrical parameters at which the engine operates with almost the same power consumption is determined. The lowest power values at which the engine is operable are found. The results of the work are visualized in the form of three-dimensional surfaces, recommendations for the continuation of research are developed.

The article proposes a method for assessing the risk of a possible stay of an automated special-purpose information system in a critical state, based on the synthesis of two heterogeneous mathematical models, one of which allows taking into account the intensity of DDOS attacks and the intensity of application processing, based on Markov processes, and the second is one of the forms of a formal description of protection systems, with complete overlap, in which the interaction of the "threat area", "protected area" is considered – areas of resources of an automated information system for special purposes, and "protection systems" – security mechanisms of an automated information system. The developed method makes it possible to simulate the information security tools included in the automated information system for special purposes, under the influence of DDOS attacks, taking into account both the empirical values obtained as a result of measurements or modeling, and the theoretical base of parameters specified by input data. In the synthesis of the two models, the lack of uncertainty of some of the input parameters, taking into account the values based on expert estimates, was eliminated.

This article analyzes the calculated fire curve in accordance with the ignition heat source in the compartment. To predict the calculated fire curve, the exponential equation proposed in the previous study was compared with the heat release rate measured in a fire experiment. The lag index, which is the main factor used to predict the time it will take to reach the maximum heat release rate, has decreased in proportion to the ignition heat source.

In this article, we investigate the effectiveness of using multiple pipes for heat dissipation. The study assumes laminar flow under steady-state conditions. Various mixtures are numerically investigated at different flow rates. Various nanofluids flowing through multiple parallel pipes have been numerically investigated to study the effects of temperature rise. Thanks to the benefits they bring to the cooling process, nanofluids have opened up a new way to improve the performance of thermal systems. A typical nanofluid consists of a base fluid, which is usually water, and nanoparticles.
