When selecting technology options for additive manufacturing, it is important to be guided by a list of basic requirements for manufactured parts, powder material features, and the range of equipment specifications. To develop the most effective solution, pilot testing of the technology will be required to determine the preferred process modes that ensure the required quality, cost, and manufacturing time. Accordingly, for such industries, it is important to develop a model that describes the stages of additive manufacturing. In this regard, this paper is devoted to considering the issues of optimization, planning, and management of additive manufacturing technology based on multiple criteria for selecting the most effective technology that involves optimal loading of production facilities. The proposed model introduces indicators that characterize adaptation and allow arguing the practical benefits of using 3D printing technologies. Comparison of process routes by these indicators allows choosing a specific manufacturing route. Having selected the manufacturing option, it is possible to calculate the most efficient placement of products on platforms, as well as to develop a suitable sequence of execution of the main manufacturing operations in order to minimize costs and time expenditures. It was found that the use of the proposed model allows to reduce the manufacturing time of a batch of products by approximately 2.5%. Thus, the proposed model can be useful in additive manufacturing to reduce downtime of installations and speed up the release of products.

The search for the most efficient and cost-effective materials and structures is an important and urgent task. Reducing steel consumption can significantly affect the cost of structures, and the use of high-strength steel is one such method. Currently, there is great interest in reinforced concrete structures, which contain various combinations of pre-compressed, pre-tensioned and non-tensioned reinforcement. To determine the dependence of the bearing capacity on the class of concrete using the example of flexible reinforced concrete columns with combined reinforcement, a numerical experiment was performed. The performed numerical experiment showed the feasibility of using combined reinforcement - all the racks considered in the experiment with combined reinforcement are more effective than racks with non-tensioned reinforcement. At the same time, depending on the relative eccentricity of external forces and flexibility, it is necessary to choose the most effective type of combined reinforcement.

This article is dedicated to the research of existing methods of analysis and detection of persons in natural conditions. Face recognition based on image analysis is one of the main problems in the implementation of computer vision. The systems of reference measurements allow to define and develop various methods of face detection. Practical experiments were conducted and the algorithms for recognizing faces presented by scientific schools and commercial developments were considered, and also the results of evaluations on all test sets were analyzed based on the data of graphs of truly positive values for assessing the quality and speed of using MALF. Using a detailed assessment, the effectiveness of algorithms in various aspects with respect to several attributes was analyzed. Comparing performance with varying degrees of accuracy, the advantages and disadvantages of algorithms are determined when used in various work scenarios.
