the article analyzes the economic instruments used by states in domestic and foreign policy from the point of view of identifying the existing coercive mechanisms in modern social practices. The study revealed how states use economic instruments as the preferred means of geopolitical struggle. In addition, the work separately reflects the fact that States should preserve the right to an original socio-economic model of development. We should also not forget about the negative consequences of unilateral coercive measures. Using the method of cognitive modeling and constructing cognitive maps, the authors identify the connections in the analyzed social practices from the perspective of studying the means of geo-economic pressure.

The results of the automated evaluation of the dynamic quality of grinding machines in the process monitoring system are presented. The transfer function of the dynamic system is analytically obtained, a formula for the frequency function is derived from it, on the basis of which models of vibration spectra are constructed, in which frequencies are present that are adequate to the real vibro-acoustic vibrations of the dynamic system of the machine when processing rings. For experimental evaluation of the dynamic quality of machine tools, integral estimates of the low-frequency components of the vibration spectrum are used, characterizing the relationship between the quality of processing bearing rings and the dynamic quality of machine tools.

Refrigerating machines are designed to cover peak heat generation in public buildings. At the same time, peak loads are often short-term and most of the time the refrigerating machines operate at 40-60% of their maximum capacity. The article deals with the issues of uneven cold consumption on the example of a sports complex located in Volgograd. When designing the air conditioning system of the games hall, a cooling system with the use of "chiller-fan coils"is used. An effective solution to reduce costs is to include a cold storage battery in the cooling station circuit. The use of a cold storage battery allows you to reduce operating costs.

The article describes the main technological features of strengthening subsidence soils by cementation. The features of quality control of work on strengthening arrays of subsidence soils by cementation are considered. On the example of a multi-storey residential building exposed to uneven deformations, the reasons for the violation of technologies during the strengthening of the foundation soils are analyzed. The results of laboratory and field tests of soils are analyzed as part of a re-examination of the foundations fixed by the cementation method during the construction of a multi-apartment three-section residential building. The actual results of laboratory tests are compared with the values set by the project. The diagrams of the location of pits near the building are given. The photos show the presence of cement veins. The causes of uneven deformations of the newly erected object have been established based on the results of a laboratory study of the fixed subsidence soil. It is noted that strict quality control of work on strengthening subsidence soils will allow avoiding emergency consequences during the construction and operation of buildings in the future.

Reducing the consumption of heat resources in construction and housing and communal services is one of the key tasks solved by design engineers. The increase in the thermal protection of buildings is determined by regulatory documents, but construction customers often require it to be strengthened without any feasibility study. The objective of the study is to develop a graphical-analytical model, the analysis of which allows you to choose the most optimal combination of heat resistances of the coating (walls) and translucent structures of a particular building object.

The article offers a solution which will enable to reduce dust pollution during earthworks in urban conditions. A special multi-functional mechanism is proposed enabling to perform several important preliminary processes simultaneously - improving an environmental situation on the site of earthworks. The ground surface damping during trench opening and soil unloading from a bucket into a disposal area will make it possible to reduce the fine dust pollution of the air surrounding a work location. The objective of the study is to develop a mechanism reducing the fine dust dispersal when performing trench and pit excavation. The novelty is that a mechanism of special construction has been proposed that can be mounted onto any machine in the construction line.

The issues of ensuring the reliable operation of bearing production on the basis of the organization of the process monitoring system (SMTP), based on the introduction of effective automated control and diagnostics of technological equipment, including processing modes and technical condition, active control of product quality in the manufacturing process, output characteristics of rings processed by the eddy current method, as well as making decisions on timely maintenance of equipment. The results of the inspection are stored in a report file generated in the eddy current device computer: information about each checked part is stored: the time of inspection, the type of part, the surface to be monitored, the number of the machine on which the part was processed. The results of eddy current control serve as the basis for monitoring the dynamic characteristics of the equipment by vibroacoustic vibrations. Based on the results of the control within the framework of the SMTP, a decision is made on the quality management of processing. The introduction of SMTP provided a significant reduction in ring defects in terms of grinding quality up to 2-3 % and increased operational reliability of bearings.

The lack of information about the conditions for the implementation of transport processes does not allow building mathematical models that operate with extremely accurate input data. Therefore, methods are being developed that formalize input uncertainties for constructing mathematical models of transport processes. To describe uncertainties, along with static, stochastic and interval approaches, methods based on fuzzy sets are actively used. The generalization of the belonging of the element, presented by Zadeh, allowed blurring the boundaries of the set. The blurring of the boundaries of the sets allows one to formalize insufficiently complete, in an informational sense, judgments and facts for the purpose of the subsequent use of this information in the construction of mathematical models. To identify formal approaches to working with uncertainties, an analysis of foreign periodicals in recent years has been carried out and two well-known approaches have been identified. The first is based on the theory of fuzzy sets - the generalized concept of belonging of an element to a set, leading to blurring of the boundaries of the set. The second approach involves describing fuzziness using a hierarchy - a family of ordered crisp sets [1]. Within the framework of the first approach, the authors have identified five ways of formalization. The first includes fuzzy sets (numbers) with different n-gonal forms of the membership function. The second consists of intuitionistic fuzzy sets (numbers) with n-gonal membership functions. The third contains heterogeneous fuzzy sets of type 2. The fourth represents non-standard fuzzy sets (oscillating, Pythagorean, etc.). The fifth method is a combination of spaced fuzzy numbers, intuitionistic spaced fuzzy numbers, and the like. References are given to sources containing a description of formalization methods and their application in solving some fuzzy transport problems, possible directions of research on the considered topics are formulated.

An urgent scientific and technical task is the development of electric energy converters with high operational and energy characteristics. The use of modern methods for the development and analysis of power electronics circuits based on the use of computer equipment allows us to successfully solve this problem. In this article, a schematic diagram of an alternating voltage regulator has been developed, in which a control system based on a microcontroller implementing an algorithm for pulse-phase regulation of the variable output voltage is used to control a power thyristor key. The control system, a power thyristor key, is synchronized with the moments of transition through zero of the supply voltage of a sinusoidal shape. The controller circuit is adapted for computer modeling in the environment of the PROTEUS software product. In the article, a block diagram is also developed and a software implementation in assembly language of the microcontroller operation algorithm is performed. As a result of computer modeling, time diagrams of voltages on the main elements of the AC voltage regulator circuit are obtained. Time diagrams explain the features of electromagnetic processes occurring in the controller circuit. The results of computer modeling, the controller circuit, the developed algorithm and the microcontroller software can be used in the development of electric energy converters for automatic control systems of electrical equipment.

The paper considers mathematical models obtained on the basis of experimental studies of electrical sheet steel. The models reflect the error in determining the main magnetization curve of electrical steel. The magnetic properties are determined in the center and at the edge of the cut of sheet samples with a size of 150 × 150 mm, made by cutting with guillotine shears and laser cutting. The choice of scale factors for calculating the main magnetization curve with an error of ± 5% according to the measured Weber-ampere characteristic has been substantiated. The study was carried out using a device for express control of the magnetic characteristics of electrical sheet steel. The main curve of magnetization of the sample material from sheet electrical steel was determined in an alternating magnetic field with a frequency of 50 Hz, along the direction of rolling. Investigated samples of isotropic sheet electrical steel grade 2212.
