Benselhoub","doi":"10.33271/nvngu/2023-6/048","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.33271/nvngu/2023-6/048","url":null,"abstract":"Purpose. To study the dielectric properties of porcelain obtained from a mixture of sand, kaolin, and feldspar. The latter has been partially substituted with solid barite wastes (SBWs). Methodology. The study involves preparation of porcelain using conventional solid-state reaction methods, employing two firing temperatures (1200 and 1300 °C) and a soaking time of 3 hours. SBWs are progressively added to the mixtures at levels of 0, 10, 20 and 30 wt%, replacing feldspar content. Structural and dielectric characterizations are conducted to examine the influence of SBWs substitution on macroscopic dielectric properties. Microstructural observations reveal various crystalline phases and micropores, contributing to property effects. Following sintering at 1200 °C, primary mineralogical phases include mullite, anorthite, and quartz. At 1300 °C, the celsian phase emerges alongside anorthite and quartz phases. The technological attributes of the produced porcelain samples, encompassing dilatometric properties, apparent density, and porosity, are determined. Findings. Dielectric characterization, conducted within the frequency range of 102–105 Hz, demonstrates that the relative constant permittivity values rise from 4.3 to 7.4 for samples sintered at 1200 °C and from 5.1 to 9.9 for those fired at 1300 °C, specifically for samples containing 10 wt% SBWs. Additionally, the dielectric loss tangent decreases with increasing sintering temperature. The macroscopic permittivity of porcelains can be accurately calculated using a mixing rule, which aligns well with experimental results. Originality. The original contribution lies in the use of 10 wt% Solid Barite Wastes (SBWs) from the Boucaid mine in order to effectively create environmentally friendly porcelain insulators. The study showcases the potential of SBWs as a partial substitute, thus promoting sustainability in porcelain insulator production. Practical value. The results of this study hold practical significance for the ceramics and insulator manufacturing industries by providing insights into enhancing the dielectric properties of porcelain through the incorporation of SBWs. This approach contributes to the production of environmentally friendly insulators.","PeriodicalId":19101,"journal":{"name":"Naukovyi Visnyk Natsionalnoho Hirnychoho Universytetu","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139162504","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To develop methodological recommendations for studying the characteristics of screen welded assemblies of ГВЧ-31 С type using specialized tools of the SolidWorks Education Edition software package. Methodology. The methodology for analyzing welds when designing a vibrator fixation system is based on the use of current software tools, in particular SolidWorks Simulation in combination with SolidWorks Motion, as well as the HOT SPOT STRESS technology. To analyze the accuracy of determining the dynamic loads arising during the screen operation, the results of modeling using the SolidWorks Motion program are compared with those obtained by traditional methods using the Lagrange equation of the second kind. The computation discrepancy is within 10 %. Findings. It has been determined that it is rational to analyze welds using the SolidWorks Education Edition software shell, taking into account the least profitable option, namely, when their edges are not finished. Furthermore, during solid-state modeling, the formation of a cavity in the weld is simulated in the form of a gap between the welded elements. The stress-strain state analysis of welded constructions using the Finite Element Method has revealed that when the computational mesh cell size is reduced, the stress value increases significantly, which indicates the result singularity and the need for further application of the HOT SPOT STRESS method. In the course of research, it has been determined that the highest stresses in welds occur on the central rib. The duration of use of welded joints is more than 2·106 cycles. Originality. For the first time, the methodology has been substantiated for determining the service life of welded elements of screen constructions using the latest computer analysis tools. The method makes it possible to calculate the dynamic forces arising in constructions performing oscillatory movements, as well as to analyze the stress-strain state of welds using the HOT SPOT STRESS technology and assess their service life. Practical value. It has become possible to implement the method for calculating the stress-strain state of welds in the design of a vibrator fixation system and assessing their service life, which is important for analyzing and determining the parameters of various vibrating machines.

Development of the method for recognizing the main mineral-technological varieties of iron ore in the deposits being developed by selecting an analytical model for the spectral characteristics of the received ultrasonic echo signals and quantitative assessment of their parameters. Methodology. The work uses methods for modeling the processes of propagation of ultrasonic waves in a randomly heterogeneous medium. The process of backscattering of ultrasound in mineral structures formed by inclusions of iron ore of various varieties and associated rock was considered. The estimated parameters of the spectral characteristics of the inversely scattered probing ultrasound pulse were studied. Findings. A method for recognizing the main mineral and technological varieties of iron ore of the deposit being developed, based on the parameters of the propagation of ultrasonic waves in the studied samples, was proposed. This is achieved by selecting an analytical model for the spectral characteristics of the received echo signals and quantifying their parameters. The amplitude of the echo signal and its spectral properties depends on the size and concentration of the scatterers, i.e., the structural and textural features of the iron ore sample under study. Taking into account these factors, the extracted parameters of the model were used to identify the main mineralogical and technological varieties of iron ore of the studied deposit. Originality. The proposed method for recognizing mineral-technological varieties of iron ore differs from the known ones in that the amplitude, central frequency, and bandwidth of the amplitude spectrum of the Gaussian parametric model of the measured echo signals are used as evaluation parameters.

The proposed scientific and technical solution allows for operational non-destructive control of the main mineralogical and technological types of iron ore in the process of its extraction and processing.","PeriodicalId":19101,"journal":{"name":"Naukovyi Visnyk Natsionalnoho Hirnychoho Universytetu","volume":"27 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139161642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to determine the possibility of service life of the basic structures of the freight wagons, the methodology given in the works by A. V. Afanasyev was used. To study the dynamic loading of the freight wagon with the actual dimensions of the constituent elements, a calculation was made.

The vertical loading of the load-bearing structure of the freight wagon was also investigated. In this regard, a mathematical model formed by Professor Yu. V. Demin was used. The accelerations obtained in the simulation of dynamic loading were taken into account when calculating the strength of the basic structure of the freight wagon. Findings. It has been established that the design service life of the load-bearing structure of a freight wagon is at least 50 years. The results of determining the longitudinal loading of the basic structures of the freight wagon established that the acceleration acting on it is 37.7 m/s2, and with the vertical one – 5.5 m/s2. The strength calculation of the basic structure of a freight wagon showed that the maximum equivalent stresses are recorded in the zone of interaction of the center beam with the pivot and amount to 333.4 MPa, i.e. do not exceed the permissible values.

To justify the possibility of using a full “stress-strain” diagram as a technogenic methane deposit formation model and its spatial localisation. Methodology. Theoretical research is based on using the solid mechanic constitutive principles and results of studying the rock samples failure in the mode of specified strains. Findings. The ability to use a full “stress-strain” diagram for detecting and localising methane reservoirs during the coal seams excavation was proved during the research. It was found that the compaction threshold coincides with the bearing pressure maximum in front of the longwall face. This area corresponds to the rock mass with minimal porosity and minimal filtration, which allows considering it as an envelope of an artificial gas deposit. Regularities that connect the three-dimensional equivalent stress state with the final gas permeability of the gas-saturated coal mass were obtained. These data allow creating a predictive numerical geomechanical model of methane migration paths. Originality. The ability to use a full “stress-strain” diagram in the controlled strain mode for numerical modelling of gas permeability of a methane-saturated coal mass during the mining of coal seams and the determination of technogenic gas deposit boundaries are justified. Dependences of the current and final gas permeability on the rock’s mechanical characteristics in a post-peak strain state are obtained. Practical value. Functional dependencies based on geomechanical models are obtained that allow the identification and localisation of technogenic methane reservoirs in mines during coal seam excavation, with subsequent utilisation of the extracted gas. Furthermore, methane removal enhances mining safety by reducing the risk of gas dynamic phenomena while decreasing gas emissions into the atmosphere contributes to reducing the greenhouse effect.","PeriodicalId":19101,"journal":{"name":"Naukovyi Visnyk Natsionalnoho Hirnychoho Universytetu","volume":"266 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136103732","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To identify the harmful radiation impact of railway transport on the environment. Methodology. In order to determine the level of radioactive contamination in the impact zone of the railway, soil and plant samples were collected, and relevant radiometric studies were carried out in accordance with the established and approved methods. The peculiarities of the accumulation capacity of plants and soil were investigated and graphical models of radionuclide migration on the Lviv-Sambir railway section were created. Findings. Measurements of the specific activity of 90Sr and 137Cs in plant samples along the railway track showed that grass plants have a lower content of radionuclides and trees have a higher one. It was found that among the herbaceous plants, the species Galium odoratum (L.) Scop. accumulates radionuclides 90Sr most intensively, Geum urbanum L. accumulates 137Cs. These plants can be used as indicators of the territory contaminated with radionuclides. The highest content of radionuclides in tree species is observed in the leaves of grey alder and oak bark. The highest content of K 40 was observed at a distance of 200 m from the railway track, and the lowest content of Th 232 was observed at a distance of 100 m from the railway track. Originality. The results of the research showed a significant variation in the content of radioactive substances in the soils of protective forest plantations. This variation in soil contamination can be explained by the heterogeneity of the above-ground cover and the local impact of plantations on the contaminants’ airborne transport rate. Practical value. Taking into account the fact that the concentration of radionuclides in plants and soil decreases away from the railway tracks, we can state that protective forest plantations delay the spread of the existing radionuclide content to the territories adjacent to the tracks.","PeriodicalId":19101,"journal":{"name":"Naukovyi Visnyk Natsionalnoho Hirnychoho Universytetu","volume":"32 S1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136104149","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
