The article is devoted to the development of a new mathematical method for modeling radial plain bearings having a polymer coating with an axial groove on the bearing surface. For the calculation evaluation of technical solutions for wear resistance, the compressibility of a truly viscous lubricant under laminar flow conditions is taken into account. As a result, new mathematical models were obtained that make it possible to estimate the duration of the hydrodynamic flow regime of the lubricant, to prove the stability and possibility of changing lubrication modes from boundary to hydrodynamic, as well as to make a calculated assessment of the effect of compressibility of the lubricant and wear resistance on operational characteristics.

Eye tracking (oculography) is a technology that allows recording the direction of human gaze on a visual stimulus. It’s application can provide researchers with valuable data on which elements of the environment are most attractive in various contexts, in areas such as marketing, psychology, etc. The aim of this work is to identify the pattern of human attention distribution on visual stimulus objects of different sizes using eye tracking technology. A webcam was used to record the subjects’ gaze movements while they were studying experimental images. The results of the experiments showed that larger objects in visual stimuli receive higher attention priority than smaller objects. This observation is true for both human-created works and images created by artificial intelligence (Kandinsky 3.1 is used in this study). The obtained results of the study will improve our understanding of how people perceive visual information, which can contribute to the creation of more effective approaches to interface development.

The wear resistance of friction units with a polymer coating and a special groove in their supporting structure is increased by minimizing the heating of the contact zone of the rubbing surfaces through effective heat removal due to the presence of a transverse recess (groove). In addition, this design helps to minimize the dry friction process, since it directly affects the distribution of the lubricating fluid. Increased loads of friction units entail characteristic changes in the properties of lubricants. In our opinion, taking into account the viscosity indicators, depending on temperature and pressure, will allow us to more accurately characterize the operation of the structure in various friction modes. The effect of a modified friction unit design (with a polymer coating and a groove) on improving performance in general is described. In addition, comparing the standard and modified designs, it can be noted that the load capacity has significantly increased and the friction coefficient has decreased. At the same time, the service life and the overhaul period of the friction unit have increased, which is a significant effect for the mechanical engineering industry.

The paper investigates the possibility of obtaining a luminescent material by heat treatment of phosphogypsum at a temperature of 800 degrees Celsius. It is shown that it is not enough to achieve the result of heating the system to a given temperature, the luminosity of the samples is practically absent.For phosphogypsum subjected to heat treatment at a temperature of 800 degrees Celsius for 60 minutes, it was found that images obtained in the presence of 50-150% moles of citric acid showed the most pronounced luminosity. The luminosity of samples with starch in the amount of 50-75 mol% was worse (by about 50%). The use of coal as a reducing agent under given conditions led to the formation of samples with the lowest luminosity. An extreme change in the dependence of luminosity on the amount of the introduced reducing agent with maxima of 25-75% (mol.) was revealed. It is suggested that the luminescent ability of the reduced phosphogypsum is associated with the formation of the composite material calcium sulfate/sulfide.

The paper presents a solution to the problem of accelerating the process of visualizing the results of numerical simulation. The volumes of such data can be very large and the development of tools to speed up the process of analyzing modeling results is an urgent task. This article proposes a solution to the problem based on the development of a set of programs that automate the process of processing large-volume scientific data of the same type to create high-quality visualizations of the results of numerical modeling. The results are presented using the example of solving problems in astrophysics, but the proposed methodology can be quite easily applied to other subject areas in which models based on the dynamics of particle systems are used. The research described in the work is devoted to solving issues related to converting data obtained from numerical modeling into a format that can be read by the ParaView softwart, which implements many methods that allow obtaining very high-quality visualization. The work also describes the process of automating batch processing of a large amount of data that has the same structure, presents the results of an analysis of the acceleration of the visualization process when using the NVIDIA IndeX plug-in, and considers the possibility of improving the quality of visualization results when applying Delaunay triangulation to the original data.

In the article there was considered a possibility of off-grade materials utilization for making fine concrete with a multicomponent complex additive applied. Use of fine sands as raw material for fine concretes is actual for many regions in Russia because of deficiency of sands of necessary fineness modulus. There was considered the issue of utilization of fine sand and stale cement for reducing cost (loss), widening materials’ assortment for low-rise building, and energy- and resource-saving. To achieve the assigned purpose a multicomponent complex additive was applied. The research was carried out in full correspondence with the adopted design of the fractional factorial experiment. The acquired results were subject to a preliminary analysis and processing, and consequently dependences of strength properties upon varying factors were obtained. The obtained dependences made it possible to select optimal ingredients’ proportion of the complex modifying additive in order to increase strength properties of fine concrete based on off-grade materials. It was established that the use of optimal consumption of the complex additive components allows increase strength properties by 25-30% in comparison with the reference composition.

Results of the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) Slave node design based on gate arrays 5503 series are presented in this paper. SPI is used for high-speed synchronous data transmission between control and peripheral devices. Developed chip could be applied in connection with SPI Master node for matching microcontrollers and microprocessors with different sensors, analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters, memory and communication units. Upon the results of the development, design approach of digital integrated circuits is proposed. The approach supposes using Russian freeware CAD "Kovcheg" ("Ark") designated for gate arrays design (IC based on prefabricated crystals, components on which are supposed to be interconnected during design to form logic devices). According to the proposed approach, behavioural descriptions of the devices, written on hardware description languages (e.g. Verilog), are used, since it is often easier to describe circuit operational principal algorithmically than construct structure from components library. The problem is that "Kovcheg" can't execute structural synthesis of the circuit from behavioural description. So it is proposed in the approach to use outside CAD environments, intended even for design of custom full-integrated circuits (like Cadence) or FPGA (like Vivado), to synthesize structural description of desired device from known behavioural ones and available process design kits (PDK) or library, appropriate for the chosen CAD. The entire design cycle using "Kovcheg" is outlined in the paper.
