(Kaunas University of Technology, Kaunas, Lithuania, 2018) Kozachenko, Dmytro M.; Bobrovsky, Volodymyr I.; Ochkasov, Oleksandr B.; Shepotenko, Anatolii P.; Hermaniuk, Yuliia M.
ENG: The aim of the paper is to improve approaches to the design and operation of private sidings of grain elevators for loading of unit trains. The research is based on the methods of organizing of railway operation. One of the main methods of reducing costs in the logistics chain, which provides for the export of grain cargoes is the using of unit train technology for transportation. Introduction of this technology in Ukraine is limited by the low loading capacity of elevators. In the paper the basic schemes of track development of elevator private sidings and analyzes the use of different technical means for performing shunting operations are presented. The results of the performed research can be used for designing and reconstruction of the existing elevators and for building the new ones, as well as for estimating the costs associated with different logistic schemes for grain delivery to seaports. As result the work develops a methodology and obtains a technical-operational assessment of the technical equipment and the operation technology grain elevator private sidings for loading of unit trains.

(Dnipro National University of Railway Transport named after Academician V. Lazaryan, 2019) Arpul, Serhii V.; Artemchuk, Viktor V.; Babyak, Mykola O.; Vasilyev, Viacheslav E.; Hetman, Hennadii K.; Marikutsa, Serhii L.
EN: Abstract. The paper considers the issues of reducing the energy intensity of transportation at opencast mining enterprises, the relevance of which has now increased due to the rise in the cost of fuel and energy resources. It presents the study results concerning the cost structure of the electricity consumed by electric mine transport, which form the basis for the development of technical and operational measures to reduce the energy intensity of the transportation process. It is shown that the work to reduce the electricity consumption for mined rock transportation should be aimed at: - Reduction of losses in the power circuits of the traction rolling stock due to the use of more advanced electric rolling stock and regulation of the degree of utilization of the installed traction power; - Introduction of new contact materials for electrical circuits with the lowest possible resistivity, including for current collector plates; - Introduction of measures to reduce energy consumption for power supply of auxiliary circuits; - Development and implementation of rational train control techniques. The introduction of energy-saving measures should include the development and application of effective methods for calculating individual norms of energy consumption and incentives for energy saving of the employees involved in the organization of the transportation process.

(Czestochowa University of Technology, Poland, 2021) Kopylov, Viacheslav; Kuzin, Oleg A.; Kuzin, Nickolai O.
EN: On the basis of the mathematical model of the continual description of functionalgradient metal systems, taking into account their structure, a computational computer scheme has been developed that makes it possible to assess the stress-strain state of local volumes of parts taking into account their spatial inhomogeneity. With the use of modern software components of computational mechanics – FEniCS finite element analysis package and its implementation in Python, the optimal structural characteristics of wheelsets of railway locomotive tires after plasma treatment have been established. It is shown that, depending on the value of the load, hardening of products must be carried out to a depth of 4.5 mm; with a further increase in thickness, the parameters of operational strength do not change.

ENG: The paper analyzes the capacity and investment opportunities of existing territorial communities. The assessment and rating of the investment capacity for the territorial communities of the Lviv region has been carried out. A model of the financial and investment support system for territorial communities has been developed, including several blocks (material and financial resources of the territorial communities budgets; other internal and external sources of financing their investment needs; ability of local self-governments to mobilize resources of business entities, households, individuals, etc. for implementation of the investment community needs; organizational and managerial capabilities of the territorial communities authorities to solve investment problems; regulatory and legal activity field of local governments), each of which is a separate element of this system. It has been determined that the investment project will always have an impact on the territories of self-governing communities, the only question is how and by what indicators this impact will be predicted in the current period and strategic perspective.
Common Crossing Condition Monitoring with on-Board Inertial Measurements
(Czech Technical University, Prague, 2019) Sysyn, Mykola; Nabochenko, Olga; Gerber, Ulf; Kovalchuk, Vitalii V.; Petrenko, Oleksiy
EN: A railway turnout is an element of the railway infrastructure that influences the reliability of a railway traffic operation the most. The growing necessity for the reliability and availability in the railway transportation promotes a wide use of condition monitoring systems. These systems are typically based on the measurement of the dynamic response during operation. The inertial dynamic response measurement with on-board systems is the simplest and reliable way of monitoring the railway infrastructure. However, the new possibilities of condition monitoring are faced with new challenges of the measured information utilization. The paper deals with the condition monitoring of the most critical part of turnouts - the common crossing. The application of an on-board inertial measurement system ESAH-F for a crossing condition monitoring is presented and explained. The inertial measurements are characterized with the low correlation of maximal vertical accelerations to the lifetime. The data mining approach is used to recover the latent relations in the measurement’s information. An additional time domain and spectral feature sets are extracted from axle-box acceleration signals. The popular spectral kurtosis features are used additionally to the wavelet ones. The feature monotonicity ranking is carried out to select the most suited features for the condition indicator. The most significant features are fused in a one condition indicator with a principal component analysis. The proposed condition indicator delivers an almost two-time higher correlation to the lifetime as the maximal vertical accelerations. The regression analysis of the indicator to the lifetime with an exponential fit proves its good applicability for the crossing residual useful life prognosis.
Common Crossing Fault Prediction with Track Based Inertial Measurements: Statistical vs. Mechanical Approach
(Akadémiai Kiadó, Hungary, 2019) Sysyn, Mykola; Gerber, Ulf; Nabochenko, Olga; Kovalchuk, Vitalii V.
EN: The analysis of track based inertial measurements for common crossing fault detection and prediction is presented in the paper. The measurement of spatial acceleration in common crossing spike and impact position during overall lifecycle are studied regarding to rolling surface fatigue degradation. Two approaches for retrieving the relation of inertial parameters to common crossing lifetime are proposed. The first one is based on the statistical learning method - t-SNE algorithm that helps to find out similarities in measured dataset. The second one is a mechanical approach that handles the data with a fatigue and contact models. Both approaches allow the significant improvement of the common crossing fault detection as well as its early prediction.
Common Crossing Structural Health Analysis with Track-Side Monitoring
(EDIS, University of Zilina, Slovakia, 2019) Sysyn, Mykola P.; Nabochenko, Olga S.; Kluge, Franziska; Kovalchuk, Vitalii V.; Pentsak, Andriy
EN: Track-side inertial measurements on common crossings are the object of the present study. The paper deals with the problem of mea- surement's interpretation for the estimation of the crossing structural health. The problem is manifested by the weak relation of measured acceleration components and impact lateral distribution to the lifecycle of common crossing rolling surface. The popular signal processing and machine learning methods are explored to solve the problem. The Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT) method is used to extract the time-frequency features of acceleration components. The method is based on Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (EEMD) that is advantageous to the conventional spectral analysis methods with higher frequency resolution and managing nonstationary nonlinear signals. Linear regression and Gaussian Process Regression are used to fuse the extracted features in one structural health (SH) indicator and study its relation to the crossing lifetime. The results have shown the significant relation of the derived with GPR indicator to the lifetime.
Comparative Study of the Mechanical and Tribological Characteristics of Fe–Cu–Ni–Sn Composites with Different CrB2 Content under Dry and Wet Friction
(Springer Nature Switzerland AG, 2021) Mechnik, V. A.; Bondarenko, N. A.; Kolodnitskyi, V. M.; Zakiev, V. I.; Zakiev, I. M.; Gevorkyan, E. S.; Kuzin, Nickolai O.; Yakushenko, O. S.; Semak, I. V.
EN: The structure, phase composition, hardness, and elasticity modulus of sintered Fe–Cu–Ni–Sn–CrB2 composites and their tribological properties under dry and wet friction have been studied by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, microindentation, and tribological testing. The obtained results have demonstrated that the microstructure and mechanical and tribological properties of these composites depend on the CrB2 additive content. The Fe–Cu–Ni–Sn–CrB2 composites incorporate the α-Fe, γ-Fe, and Cu phases and a certain fraction of the crystalline Cu9NiSn3, NiSn3, and CrB2 phases. The hardness and elasticity modulus of these composites are almost independent of the friction medium (dry or wet), and the friction force and the wear rate are variable. The Fe–Cu–Ni–Sn–CrB2 composites are superior to the Fe–Cu–Ni–Sn composites in their mechanical and tribological properties. The addition of 2 wt % of CrB2 to the 51Fe–32Cu–9Ni–8Sn composite has decreased the friction force from 220 to 170 mN and the wear rate from 7.41 × 10–2 to 3.41 × 10–2 mm3/(N m) under dry friction and, respectively, from 200 to 140 mN and from 8.19 × 10–2 to 4.10 × 10–2 mm3/(N m) under wet friction. A further growth in the CrB2 content in the composites leads to an increase in the wear rate. The mechanism of increase in the wear resistance of the composite containing 2 wt % of CrB2 as compared to the initial composite implies the formation of a more fine-grained structure with an optimal combination of the hardness and elasticity modulus. The Fe–Cu–Ni–Sn–CrB2 composites can be used as a material for the matrix of composite diamond-containing materials subjected to strong wear.
Comparative Tests of Contact Elements at Current Collectors in Order to Comprehensively Assess their Operational Performance
(PC "Technology Center", Ukrainian State University of Railway Transport, Kharkov, Ukraine, 2018) Babyak, Mykola O.; Horobets, Volodymyr L.; Sychenko, Viktor G.; Gorobets, Yevhen
EN: We have studied the interaction between contact elements in the pantographs of electric transport under operation at the sections of railroads powered by direct and alternating current. In contrast to known techniques for bench tests, we investigated the mechanism of current collection and wear resistance at the new testing installation over a minimally narrow region of the sliding contact, simulating the phenomenon of a pantograph “cut”. This installation can be used both industrially when manufacturing new contact elements and under laboratory setting when studying wear resistance. The experimental research confirmed that the wear intensity of contact elements at pantographs depends on current load over a contact area, the magnitude of contact pressure, the area of a contact surface, and motion speed. We have practically proven a possibility to maintain a reliable contact connection in the sliding contact under extreme operating conditions when using a reliable contact material for the current collector pads. It has been proposed to use the powder composition BrIG based on bronze, iron, and graphite, for making contact elements for pantographs that could provide for reliable contact when interacting with the contact wire. Application of new and high-quality contact materials affects the tribology and stability of interaction between plates and the contact wire. Owing to our study, a possibility has been established to manufacture a reliable contact element BrIG, which would prolong the time of interaction in the contact pair “pantograph at electric transport ‒ contact network”. The practical significance of this research relates to the proven efficiency of utilizing the new contact material BrIG for electric railroad transport network, in trolley buses and trams. Thus, one can argue about the possibility to prolong the time of operation for the contact pair “pad in a pantograph at electric transport ‒ contact network” by applying the new contact material BrIG.

(Dnipro National University of Railway Transport named after Academician V. Lazaryan, 2019) Gallas, Dawid; Merkisz, Jerzy; Andrzejewski, Maciej; Tomaszewski, Sylwin; Strzemkowski, Jan; Kinter, Stepan O.
EN: Abstract. The article discusses the results of applying real driving emissions (RDE) testing methods in measuring the exhaust emissions of a passenger rail vehicle. Portable Emissions Measuring Systems (PEMS) were used to measure the exhaust emissions from a motor coach in real operation, performed on a test track for selected drive cycle parameters. The road emission values of exhaust components have been calculated and compared to road vehicles and road exhaust emission limits based on the legal norms. The assessment was concluded with a comparison of the environmental cost, in terms of exhaust emissions, of transporting passengers using the tested rail vehicle relative to alternative road transport, based on measurements in real operating conditions.
Comparison of the Effects and Efficiency of Vertical and Side Tamping Methods for Ballasted Railway Tracks
(Elsevier Ltd, 2022) Przybyłowicz, Michał; Sysyn, Mykola; Gerber, Ulf; Kovalchuk, Vitalii V.; Fischer, Szabolcs
EN: The relatively high maintenance costs of the ballast track are related to the short lifecycle of the ballast layer. The current vertical ballast tamping technology (e.g., Plasser & Theurer, Matisa, etc.) causes high ballast destruction and is neither applicable for unconventional sleepers’ designs nor slab tracks. The side tamping method presents an alternative, ballast saving, and sleeper form independent ballast tamping technology. This paper compares the ballast layer compaction and its resistance to permanent settlements accumulation after the vertical and the side tamping methodologies. Scaled models of ballast layer and tamping units and scaled simulation with discrete element method (DEM) were applied for the comparison. In the laboratory tests, the ballast compaction along the sleeper was estimated using the measurements of elastic wave propagation. The settlements resistance for both tamping methods was estimated under the vibration loading. The tests’ results show 5–7% higher compactness of the ballast layer under the sleeper ends for the side tamping method. The settlement intensity of the ballast layer after the vertical tamping is higher than for the side tamping method. In discrete element modeling, the performed laboratory tests were simulated. The compactness of the ballast bed, as well as the residual stresses, were determined in MATLAB. The side tamping technology provided five times higher residual stresses in the ballast layer below the sleeper than in the case of vertical tamping, which can be explained by the more stable and dense layer resulting from the side tamping ensures higher interlocking between the grains. The simulation of the wave propagation shows an influence of the residual stresses on the wave propagation velocities. The simulated wave propagation velocity was more than two times higher for the side tamping than for the vertical one.
The Complex Phenomenological Model for Prediction of Inhomogeneous Deformations of Railway Ballast Layer after Tamping Works
(Warsaw University of Technology, Poland, 2018) Sysyn, Mykola P.; Gerber, Ulf; Kovalchuk, Vitalii V.; Nabochenko, Olga S.
EN: The given article considers the method of calculating the track geometry deformation with respect to uneven accumulation of residual deformations along the track. The technique proposes two significant changes in existing approaches to calculating the efficiency of the ballast layer. The transition from the approach of allowable stresses design in the ballast layer to the deformative approach of accumulations of track geometry deformations allows us to draw conclusions regarding the intervals of track tamping and the duration of ballast layer life cycle. The transition from the determinative to probabilistic approaches makes it possible to draw conclusions not only from the average unevenness, but also with regard to all possible facts of unevenness. The method is based on the mechanism of sudden and gradual deformations occurrence, which depends on a number of key factors: dynamic stresses on the ballast, non-uniformity of track elasticity, performance of current maintenance work. Based on the experimental studies results, the dependencies of sudden deformations and the intensity of gradual deformations on the level of stress on the ballast layer were established. The experimental results of the influence of the sub-ballast base elasticity on the intensity of accumulation of residual deformations are shown. On the basis of the developed method, the prediction of track geometry deterioration for a given structure of the track, the rolling stock and the permissible level of geometric deviations for track maintenance is presented.
A Comprehensive Procedure for Estimating the Stressedstrained State of a Reinforced Concrete Bridge Under the Action of Variable Environmental Temperatures
(РС ТЕСHNOLOGY СЕNTЕR, Kharkiv, Ukraine, 2021) Kovalchuk, Vitalii V.; Onyshchenko, Artur; Fedorenko, Olexander; Habrel, Mykola; Parneta, Bogdan Z.; Voznyak, Oleh M.; Markul, Ruslan V.; Parneta, Mariana; Rybak, Roman
ENG: This paper reports the full-scale experimental measurements of temperature distribution over the surfaces of bridges’ steel-concrete beams under the influence of positive and negative ambient temperatures. It has been established that the temperature is distributed unevenly along the vertical direction of a bridge’s steel-concrete beam. It was found that the metal beam accepted higher temperature values. The maximum registered temperature difference between a metal beam and a reinforced concrete slab at positive ambient temperatures was +9.0 °C, and the minimum temperature difference was −2.1 °C. The mathematical models for calculating a temperature field and a thermally strained state of bridges’ steel-concrete beams under the influence of variable climatic temperature changes in the environment have been improved, taking into consideration the uneven temperature distribution across a bridge’s reinforced concrete beam. The possibility has been established to consider a one-dimensional problem or to apply the three-dimensional estimated problem schemes as the estimation schemes for determining the thermoelastic state of reinforced concrete bridges. The temperature field and the stressed state of bridges’ reinforced concrete beams were determined. It was found that the maximum stresses arise at the place where a metal beam meets a reinforced concrete slab. These stresses amount to 73.4 MPa at positive ambient temperatures, and 69.3 MPa at negative ambient temperatures. The amount of stresses is up to 35 % of the permissible stress values. The overall stressed-strained state of a bridge’s reinforced concrete beams should be assessed at the joint action of temperature-in- duced climatic influences and loads from moving vehicles.

(Growing Science Publishing Company, 2021) Siryk, Zinoviy; Popadynets, Nazariy; Pityulych, Mykhaylo; Chakii, Olha; Irtyshcheva, Inna; Panukhnyk, Olena; Hyk, Vasyl; Fedotova, Yana; Rohozian, Yuliia; Lysyak, Nataliia
ENG: The essence of administrative and territorial reform and decentralization reform in Ukraine is to move away from a centralized model of government in the state, ensure the ability of local self-government and build an effective system of territorial power organization in Ukraine based on the principles of subsidiarity, omnipresence and financial self-sufficiency of local self-government. The purpose of the article is to identify areas for improving the effectiveness of the administrative-territorial reform in Ukraine based on assessing the results of its financial decentralization component. Peculiarities of changing the territorial basis of local self-government in Ukraine investigate the necessity of moving from a voluntary amalgamation of territorial communities to the stage of their formation according to clearly defined criteria and providing opportunities for the development of such communities in the future. It focuses on the need to consolidate areas and change the system of interaction of the subregional level with the amalgamated territorial communities at a basic level.

(Одеська державна академія будівництва та архітектури, 2022) Luchko, Joseph; Nazarevich, B.; Kovalchuk, Vitalii V.
ENG: In the work on the basis of the performed field researches the problems of degradation of concrete and reinforced concrete constructions of buildings and constructions of long operation are formulated and its urgency is noted. The authors analyzed a number of works on this problem. In particular, the results of technical diagnostics of many buildings and structures, both newly built and long-term operation, are described. The necessity of periodic technical diagnostics is noted. Based on these studies, the main factors that significantly affect the reduction of load-bearing capacity of reinforced concrete structures of buildings and structures are summarized and found that they are as follows: design errors, defects and shortcomings of construction and operational shortcomings of buildings and structures. Also, using modern technologies and materials, the authors identified the benefits of their use for repair and restoration of concrete and reinforced concrete structures at a number of long-term facilities. Relevant conclusions have been formulated on research and repair works. It is established that to prevent loss of load-bearing capacity of structures for long-term operation it is necessary to study the degradation and residual life of load-bearing capacity of structures, their reliability and durability, which were exposed to aggressive air, soil and water. It is established that the reason for the decrease in the strength of concrete beams, which were operated in an aggressive environment, was the error in the design of corrosion protection of structures. Reinforcement and injection filling of dry cracks, crevices and hidden cavities and stratifications and other corrosion damage of beams and slabs with the use of fluid polyurethane compositions, which allowed to extend the service life of structures. It is established that the use of the Polymer Cement Concrete system with the use of glued composite materials ensured the further normal operation of the monolithic reinforced concrete floor of the technical floor of the residential building.
