Item Derivation of analytical dependencies for determining stiffness parameters of vibration isolators of vibratory machine(Lviv Politechnic Publishing House, 2020) Lanets, Oleksii; Kachur, Oleksandr; Korendiy, Vitaliy; Lviv Polytechnic National UniversityProblem statement. While designing vibration isolators, the essential attention should be paid to the safety factors such as the levels of vibration and noise, as well as to the material and the structure of isolators. In major vibratory technological equipment, there are used full-metal vibration isolators, which can be designed in the form of coil (cylindrical, conical, helicospiral) or flat (leaf-type, disc-type) springs. The problems of stress-strain analysis of metal springs used for vibration isolation of various vibratory equipment are of urgent interest among the designers and researcher. The engineering techniques of step-by-step calculation of full-metal vibration isolators of different types of vibratory technological machines are not thoroughly presented in the modern information resources. Purpose. The present paper is aimed at developing and implementing the detailed algorithm of determining the stiffness parameters of the metal coil springs used for vibration isolation of large-scale vibratory machines. Methodology. The investigations are carried out using the basic laws and principles of solid mechanics and theory of vibrations. The calculations were conducted using MathCAD software; the computer simulation of the spring’s stress-strain state was performed using SolidWorks software. Findings (results) and originality (novelty). The improved design of the vibratory conveyer-separator is considered. The engineering technique of calculating the passive vibration isolators of various vibratory equipment designed in the form of metal coil springs is developed. The proposed technique is implemented while designing the vibration isolation system of the vibratory conveyer-separator. The system’s operational characteristics are determined, and the computer simulation of the springs stress-strain state is carried out. Practical value. The proposed design of the vibratory conveyer-separator can be implemented in various industries (machine-building, chemical, pharmaceutical, food-processing, construction, mining, metallurgy, textile industries etc.) for conveying different loose, bulky and piecewise products, and separating them into fractions of different sizes. Scopes of further investigations. While carrying out further investigations, it is necessary to analyse the influence of the proposed design of vibratory conveyer-separator on the foundation during its operation, and to consider the necessary of applying the additional fixation systems.Item Simulation modelling of dynamic processes due discontinuous frictional treatment of the flat surfaces(Lviv Politechnic Publishing House, 2020) Gurey, Volodymyr; Korendiy, Vitaliy; Kuzio, Ihor; Lviv Polytechnic National UniversityFriction treatment refers to surface strengthening (hardening) methods using highly concentrated energy sources. In the course of this processing in the surface layers of the processed surfaces of parts the strengthened layer with nanocrystalline structure is formed. The formed layer has specific physical, mechanical, chemical properties, as well as improved performance properties, which are significantly different from the base metal. A highly concentrated energy source is formed in the contact area of the tool-part due to the high-speed friction (60–90 m/s) of the tool on the treatment surface. Frictional treatment of flat parts according to the kinematics of the process is similar to grinding. The strengthening process was carried out on an upgraded surface grinder. The tool is a metal disk made of stainless-steel. Transverse grooves are formed on the working surface of the tool to intensify the process of forming a strengthened (reinforced) layer with a nanocrystalline structure. The grooves form additional shock loads in the contact area of the tool-treatment surface of the part. These shock loads increase the shear deformation of the metal of the parts’ surface during treatment, which affects into formation the quality parameters of the parts’ surface and surface layer. To study the friction treatment process, the calculation scheme of the elastic system of the machine was developed. A simulation model for the study of dynamic processes that take place during the friction treatment of flat surfaces was built. This model gives possibility to determine the displacements and velocities of the machine table on which the part is fixed and the tool, and to determine their mutual displacement and also calculate the reaction of the machine table.Item Modellingand simulation of pneumatic system operation of mobile robot(Lviv Politechnic Publishing House, 2020) Korendiy, Vitaliy; Kachur, Oleksandr; Havrylchenko, Oleksandr; Lozynskyy, Vasyl; Lviv Polytechnic National UniversityProblem statement. Mobile robots are currently of significant interest among researchers and designers all over the world. One of the prospective drives of such robots is equipped by a pneumatically operated orthogonal system. The processes of development and improvement of orthogonal walking robots are significantly constrained because of the lack of an open-access comprehensive scientific and theoretical framework for calculating and designing of the energy efficient and environmental-friendly pneumatic walking drives. Purpose. The main purpose of this research consists in the kinematic analysis, motion modelling and pneumatic system simulation of the mobile robot with an orthogonal walking drive. Methodology. The research is carried out using the basic laws and principles of mechanics, pneumatics and automation. The numerical modelling of the robot motion is conducted in MathCad software. The computer simulation of the robot kinematics is performed using SolidWorks software. The operational characteristics of the robot’s pneumatic system are investigated in Festo FluidSim software. Findings (results) and originality (novelty). The improved design of the mobile robot equipped by the orthogonal walking drive and turning mechanism is thoroughly investigated. The motion equations of the orthogonal walking drive are deduced, and the graphical dependencies describing the trajectories (paths) of the robot’s feet and body are constructed. The pneumatically operated system ensuring the robot rectilinear and curvilinear locomotion is substantiated. Practical value. The proposed design of the walking robot can be used while developing industrial (production) prototypes of mobile robotic systems intended for performing various activities in the environments that are not suitable for using electric power. Scopes of further investigations. While carrying out further investigations, it is expedient to design the devices for changing the robot locomotion speed and controlling the lifting height of its feet.Item Design and operational peculiarities of four-degree-of-freedom double-legged robot with pneumatic drive and turning mechanism(Lviv Politechnic Publishing House, 2020) Korendiy, Vitaliy; Zinko, Roman; Lozynskyy, Vasyl; Havrylchenko, Oleksandr; Lviv Polytechnic National UniversityProblem statement. Mobile robots are of significant interest among scientists and designers during the last several decades. One of the prospective drives of such robots is based on pneumatically operated walking (stepping) system with no use of electric, heat, magnetic or other types of energy. This allows the use of pneumatically-driven robots in the cases when the use of other energy sources is prohibited (e.g., in some gaseous or fluid mediums). At the same time, the walking (stepping) type of moving increases the manoeuvrability and cross-country capability of the mobile robot, and decreases the harmful effect of its interaction with the supporting surface (e.g., the fertile soil surface) in comparison with wheeled or caterpillar drives. Purpose. The main purpose of this research consists in substantiation of structure and parameters of pneumatic system of four-degree-of freedom mobile robot with orthogonal walking drive and turning mechanism.

The features were then compared with ones of the cylindrical shape anode. The radii ranges for the cylindrical and spheroidal (segments of a sphere) parts of the anode ensuring its improved deformation resistance and more uniform stress distribution were suggested. Based on the calculations, an anode of the cylindrical shape with top and bottom convex surfaces (a spheroidal shape anode), with the spheroid to cylinder radii ratio R / Rc in the range from 5 to 20 is suggested. Itsspecific volume V / Sc isin the range from 1 to 2.5 mm. The stressesin the most dangerous areas (i. e. along the axis and the closed-loop fixing) and maximum strain, caused by external gas pressure on the anode working surface, are decreased by 10–30 % and 20–40 % respectively as compared to an anode of the cylindrical shape of the same radius and volume features. This increases the lifetime of a solid oxide fuel cell. A three-dimensional curve of intersection of the surfaces of stress distribution in the anode along its axis and the closed-loop fixing was approximated which displays the values of balanced stresses depending on V / Vc and R / Rc parameters. Also, the advantage of the spheroid shaped SOFC anode-substrate over conventional flat one was substantiated using a shape-dependent crack deceleration approach.Item Substantiation of parameters and analysis of operational characteristics of oscillating systems of vibratory finishing machines(Lviv Politechnic Publishing House, 2017-10-19) Korendiy, Vitaliy; Zakharov, Viktor; Lviv Polytechnic National University; ISKRA PJSCThe calculation diagrams of oscillating systems and operation features of vibratory finishing machines are considered.

On the basis of synthesized inertial and stiffness parameters, the amplitude-frequency characteristics of the oscillating systems of vibratory finishing machines are formed and analyzed. In order to verify the validity of the proposed theoretical approaches, the simulation of the mathematical model of the oscillating system motion is carried out by means of numerical solving of the system of differential equations of the oscillating masses motion. The proposed structural diagrams and the operation schemes of the vibratory finishing machine, as well as the derived analytical formulas may be used by designers, researchers and technologists while improving existent and developing new equipment for vibro-finishing treatment.Item Structural and kinematic synthesis of the 1-Dof eight-bar walking mechanism with revolute kinematic pairs(Lviv Politechnic Publishing House, 2017-10-19) Korendiy, Vitaliy; Lviv Polytechnic National UniversityProblem statement. The use of existing and the most widespread drives (wheeled and caterpillar one) is sometimes limited by complicated operational conditions while moving on rough terrain. The mentioned drives require a relatively flat surface to be operated effectively. A rocky or a hilly terrain imposes the demand of the use of alternative types of drives, in particular, walking ones. Purpose.

While carrying out the investigations, the structural and kinematic synthesis of the eight-bar hinge-lever walking mechanism has been performed using the well-known methods of the Theory of Machines and Mechanisms, in particular, the method of closed vector loops. In order to conduct experimental investigations and simulation of the mechanism motion, the applied software SolidWorks and MapleSim has been used. Findings (results). The structure and geometrical parameters of the eight-bar walking mechanism have been synthesized with the aim to ensure the required trajectory and kinematic characteristics of the supporting foot motion. Originality (novelty). The analytical dependencies describing the trajectory of each hinge of the analysed walking mechanism have been derived and the kinematic optimization synthesis problem has been solved. This allowed to substantiate of the mechanism’s geometrical parameters and to analyse its kinematic characteristics. Practical value. The proposed structure of the walking mechanism can be effectively used in various mobile robotic systems and in transporting and technological machines in order to ensure the possibility of their use on rough terrain where there is no ability to use wheeled and caterpillar drives. Scopes of further investigations. While carrying out further research, it is necessary to analyse the influence of the weight coefficients on the solution of the optimization problem, as well as to take into account the necessity of changing the step length and the foot lifting height during the process of walking according to the surface obstacles sizes.Item Optimization of structure of sorting vibratory separators(Lviv Politechnic Publishing House, 2017-01-01) Shenbor, Vladyslav; Korendiy, Vitaliy; Brusentsov, Volodymyr; Lviv Polytechnic National University, Lviv, UkraineThe problem of substantiation of operational efficiency of vibratory separators designed on the basis of vibratory hopper feeders with electromagnetic vibrations exciters and with conic working bowls is considered in the article.
