This article discusses the economic approach to the choice of the mode of continuation of the system in the face of partial failure. It discusses strategies related to the continuation of work in conditions of partial failure or cessation of operation until the completion of the operational restoration process. The characteristics of each of the strategies are presented in a comparative aspect for the continuation of the operation of the object in the post-failure period or the delay in operation for the duration of the restoration. The dependence of the time recovery parameters and the times defining the moment of identifying a partial failure in the coordinates of the time axis from the beginning of the working cycle to the next scheduled maintenance has been revealed. The resulting mathematical expressions allow, under certain conditions, to justify the choice of one of the two strategies considered. For more complex cases, it is proposed to use expert approaches to take into account additional characteristics of the process, such interregional period, performance and acceptable risks associated with working in conditions of partial failure. The article provides graphs illustrating the change in reliability characteristics in two ways of developments of events related to the adoption of a decision to continue work.

The development of modern technology makes increasingly stringent requirements for materials, and improving the reliability and durability is an urgent task for many industries. One of the most important elements of the automatic coupling device of the car is the absorbing device. The parts included in it must meet high standards, be reliable and provide the necessary hardness and mechanical properties of the materials throughout the life cycle of the car. One of these parts included in the friction unit of the absorbing device is a movable plate. In the present work, an example of modernization of the absorbing apparatus through the use of modern methods of modeling and manufacturing of a fixed plate is given. The technical result is to reduce consumption of materials of the movable plate, and to simplify the manufacturing process of the plate by making it from rolled steel.

The article provides a solution to the problem of the stress-strain state of the base in the field of karst dip. The problem is considered in the linear formulation for a layer of bounded thickness weakened by a cylindrical notch. The solution is obtained in polynomials based on the use of the Solyanik – Crass stress functions satisfying a quasi-harmonic type differential equation. The main task was solved on the basis of using the principle of superposition. The verification of the obtained solution was carried out on the basis of a comparison of the components of the stress and displacement tensor with the results of numerical solutions. Graphs constructed using the Mathcad mathematical complex and the Plaxis software complex were considered. Their analysis showed good convergence of the results.

The article focuses on radiowave propagation in complex conditions combining rough terrain with woodland or urban areas. The estimation of influence of all these factors on signal attenuation may be challenging. Consequently there are no propagation models for such environment for distances up to several kilometers. However by approximating the experimental data on radio wave attenuation it is possible to develop empirical propagation models for specific cases. The authors carried out a series of experiments to measure the level of radio signal at a given distance from the source. Based on the experimental results a hybrid model for rough terrain, wooded and urban areas for ground communications systems was developed.

A theoretical calculation of the transmission coefficient of the microwave converter on a resonant tunneling diode, where the same diode is used as a mixer and amplifier of microwave oscillations, is carried out. In this case, as shown by calculations, the transmission coefficient increases due to the use of regeneration, and also because the non-linearity of the current-voltage characteristic of a resonant tunneling diode is much larger than that of conventional microwave diodes with a Schottky barrier.
