Determination of the frequency of natural vibration of rubber shock absorbers during compression

The object of the research: The work used rubbers of different hardness, which are model samples for testing cylindrical shock absorbers with a coefficient of 0.42, which was carried out under compression on a laboratory stand. Investigated problem: Determining the limits of operational loads of rubber shock absorbers is an important task in the development of methods for non-destructive testing of rubber shock absorbers. Therefore, the object of the study is the influence of the limit values of the parameters of rubber shock absorbers during compression to determine the frequency of their natural vibrations under harsh operating conditions. One of the most problematic issues is cylindrical shock absorbers with a shape factor of less than 1.0: where the height is much greater than the diameter. The aim of the study is to establish the patterns of influence of the rubber shock absorber material, compression conditions and boundary conditions of atmospheric aging on the frequency of natural vibrations to determine their boundary conditions of operation. The main scientific results: According to the indicators of relative deformation during compression, the use of rubber shock absorbers from the high hardness group is recommended for more severe load conditions during operation. Soft rubbers are characterized by increased relative deformation of the geometric size (height) of the shock absorber during compression, which, under increased loads, can lead to their destruction. The results obtained on model samples can be verified on rubber shock absorbers manufactured in industrial conditions. The area of practical use of the results of the study: The conducted studies allow creating methods for selecting rubber shock absorbers for certain operating conditions depending on its shape coefficient and to simulate aging in atmospheric conditions. Innovative technological product: rubber shock absorber with increased operational reliability. Scope of the innovative technological product: designed for vibration isolation of industrial equipment and engines

Financial resilience and uncertainty: a theoretical and historical approach

The object of the research is to deepen and develop the scientific foundations of the evolution of financial resilience in historical retrospect. The article summarizes scientific approaches to describing financial resilience in historical retrospect, reveals the essence of financial resilience, provides examples of entropies in various asset markets, analyzes the dynamics of national currency devaluation in different countries, and substantiates trends in the development of various asset classes. An analysis of entropies (bubbles) in various asset markets over the period 1634–2024 has been conducted. Investigated problem: It is emphasized that in modern conditions, banks are turning into institutions servicing speculative flows, while the main function of commercial banks—crediting the real sector of the economy—is being relegated to the background due to low profitability. The essence of banking activities and the peculiarities of new banking functions over the last 25 years are revealed. It is noted that computerization and financial innovations have significantly changed the ways in which commercial banks operate. These processes have enabled the introduction of new forms of services and banking products, improved bank management, enhanced the collection and processing of large volumes of statistical information, and expanded the scope of activities of large banks beyond national borders. The main scientific results: The Basel principles for banking regulation, along with international financial reporting standards, need to be revised and improved before central banks, such as the Federal Reserve System, issue up to 50 trillion USD or any other national currency. The author believes that the current system allows banks to create money “out of thin air” by lending or investing beyond their capital, leading to high levels of risk and instability in the banking system. The author suggests that the root cause of banking crises lies in allowing banks to create money by accepting deposits and allocating them across various assets, from treasury bills to high-risk borrowers. The area of practical use of the research results: Decrease the crisis as well as make proper actions before crisis occur Innovative technological approaches: Improved Basel Principles as well as Improving International Financial Reporting Standards. Scope of the innovative technological approaches: Prudent Supervision of Regulations State Bodies in order not to allow crisis to ruin the existing assets classes and channel European savings into new technologies that can drive growth in order to scale up innovation
