In this paper, the basic characteristic kinematic and dynamic parameters of optimal brake leverage for a railcar wheel with two-sided press on the shoes are given. Mathematical expressions for the changes of kinematic and dynamic parameters of leverage links in the case of existence of common arm are received. By vectorial projecting of the closed contour of leverage mechanism there are received rotary kinematic parameters of the links. The received results can be used in further study of given leverage when determining kinetic energy of the leverage and composing the system of differential equations for its motion. 3 ill. Bibl. 11.

On the taking into account of indices of reliability when designing agricultural machines. R. Makharoblidze, Z. Makharoblidze, I. Dzirkvadze. “Problems of Applied Mechanics”. Tbilisi, 2003, №3 (12), p. 37-40, (rus.).
The shortcoming of existent methods of calculation of agricultural machines is that indices of reliability are not directly related with change in time of physical and mechanical properties of constructional materials and also with geometric, kinematics and dynamic parameters of machines and with exploitation regime. Lack of such relations makes it difficult to determine optimum parameters of machines by generalized criteria of reliability on the stage designing. Having used the theory of standing out random function beyond the given level, the functional dependence of coefficient of margin of safety upon statistical indices of load, probability of safety work and upon service life of machine, is determined, which enables to assign parameters of machines more substantially. 1 ill.

Investigation of conditions of motion and oil expenditure of motor-lorry with diesel engine. G. Emiridze, O. Ghelashvili, J. Iossebidze. “Problems of Applied Mechanics”. Tbilisi, 2003, №3 (12), p. 41-44, (rus.).
Generalized model of motor-lorry with diesel engine has been worked out according to motion phases; this model is adequate to its real work conditions on line; on its basis one can construct oil expenditure model. Determining method of oil expenditure by motor-lorry motion phase permits to make a prognosis of oil expenditure in real operational conditions. Operational-dynamic characteristics, suggested for transient and transitional motions of motor-lorry, permit to determine a linear fuel oil expenditure and to evaluate driver’s skill for concrete conditions of motor-lorry’s exploitation with diesel engine. 4 ill.
