The paper presents a simulation of flight control of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). A distributed control system is proposed that sequentially includes internal and external circuits to control the state of motion of the aircraft. The control efficiency of a cascade PD controller (proportional-differential) is higher than that of a traditional PID controller (proportional-integral-differentiating). A new cascade control algorithm with a PD controller is proposed. First, the dynamics of the UAV is modeled based on the Newton-Euler method, then the state of motion of the device is controlled by a distributed control system based on cascaded levels of proportional derivatives of the internal and external contours. The simulation results show that the controller, developed on the basis of proportional-derivative control speed of internal and external circuits, is able to achieve fast tracking of the position and orientation of the UAV in case of external disturbances and has good control quality. The developed algorithm has increased the control efficiency by 5-7% compared to the traditional PID algorithm.

The article is devoted to the assessment of the strength of reinforced concrete elements with defects and damages. It examines the main types of defects (reinforcement corrosion, cracks, deformations, shrinkage, spalling of concrete, etc.), their causes, and consequences. The document also presents various calculation methods for evaluating the residual load-bearing capacity of structures, taking into account these defects, including formulas for assessing the impact of corrosion, cracks, and other damages on the strength of beams. It is noted that current methodologies primarily focus on analyzing a single type of defect, while a comprehensive approach to evaluating multiple damages requires further research. The research results can be useful for developing recommendations for the operation and repair of reinforced concrete structures, as well as for improving methods of assessing their safety during long-term use.

Steel hoisting ropes play an important role in metallurgical equipment, ensuring reliability and efficiency of lifting operations. One of the key features of their operation is the high level of contamination typical of metallurgical operations. Metallurgical processes are often accompanied by dust, metal chips and other abrasive particles that can significantly degrade ropes, causing wear and corrosion. To maintain the efficient operation of equipment it is necessary to monitor the condition of hoisting ropes in real time, which makes the task of improving automatic systems for monitoring the condition of ropes urgent. The paper reviews the methods of optical control of defects in hoisting steel ropes, the advantages and limitations of different approaches are considered. The aim of the work is to justify the effectiveness of the authors' developed method of analyzing rope defect images using neural networks in relation to the method based on the discrete Fourier transform. It is revealed that one of the most promising in terms of technical and economic efficiency of inspection methods is the application of vision system with image processing based on convolutional neural network technology, which allows to effectively detect defects in complex and changing operating conditions, such as metallurgical and mining production, where the background of the image may be non-uniform, and the distance between the camera and the rope varies.

Two capacitive methods of measuring the linear density of one-dimensional fibrous products are considered. The sensitivity of the measurement results to variations in the geometric and physical parameters of the measuring device for the differential and resonance measurement methods is estimated. A weak, almost linear dependence of the measurement error on parameter variations in a wide variation range is established. The good suitability of both methods for measuring the linear density of one-dimensional products by the capacitive method and the high correlation between the measured value and the measurement results are substantiated.

For the development of automated systems for designing ultraviolet irradiators intended to compensate for the deficiency of natural ultraviolet, it is critically important to know the spatial distribution of the erythemal radiation power. However, there are no suitable sensors for direct measurement of this value on the Russian market. In this regard, an alternative method for determining the erythemal radiation power is considered, which does not require the use of specialized erythemal-sensitive receivers. The method is based on obtaining the spatial distribution of the erythemal radiation power by taking into account the curve of the relative spectral erythemal efficiency of radiation and preliminary measurements on a gonioradiometric setup of the distribution of energy illuminance in the UVA (320 - 400 nm), UVB (280 - 320 nm) regions and the relative spectral distribution of the irradiator or radiation source for one arbitrarily selected direction in the wavelength range of 280 - 400 nm.

The paper addresses the problem of the technical diagnostics of hump control devices, such as wagon retarders. The current analytical methods of monitoring and technical diagnostics of wagon retarder conditions are reviewed. The factors that are used in the existing diagnostics systems are analyzed and new factors to be taken into account, including specific pathway peculiarities, wagon group lengths, breaking curve styles, initial wagon group speed and environment conditions, are suggested. The suggested set of factors are characterized from the point of regression analysis. The replacement of some continuous factors with lexical ones are suggested. Decision tree-based classificators are suggested to perform the classification of hump retarder conditions. The decision tree-based classificators can be built with the means of Data Mining on a training set. An improved method of building decision trees is suggested. It’s advantage over the existing algorithms is shown on evaluation sets.

And with the help of generative adversarial networks, zero-day malware can be detected. Despite the fact that a direct and objective comparison of all the studies presented in the work is impossible, due to different data sets, it can be assumed that using the architecture of generative-adversarial networks is the most promising way to solve the problem of detection.

Reinforced concrete is the most common material in construction, this is due to its high performance and consumer characteristics. Despite a number of its positive characteristics, concrete has a negative property, its hygroscopicity. In the structure of concrete is a large number of micropores, cracks and capillaries, which contribute to the spread of moisture throughout the structure. This leads to the destruction of concrete, corrosion of reinforcement. Waterproofing is an important aspect of building construction and maintenance. It helps prevent moisture damage that leads to costly repairs and structural failure over time.
