The use of the BlackBoard electronic educational environment and the teaching and methodological developments of the department staff is shown both as a learning medium for students, including independent work, and as a means of teaching for the teaching staff. Not only the remote format of classes is considered, but also the so-called mixed format, when in-person laboratory or practical classes are held only in small groups, and streaming lectures are conducted with the use of an electronic educational environment. After the end of the pandemic, the mixed format is used in many educational organizations continuously or occasionally due to the withdrawal of a separate group to quarantine. Within the framework of the article, a comparative analysis was carried out, reflecting data on the quality of graphic training among students who studied before, during and after the pandemic, using the example of samples from among the students of the 2019 – 2022 sets. The results of the comparative analysis show that there were no significant fluctuations in one direction or another. This allows us to conclude that the measures taken to organize the educational process in the remote format of classes have helped to preserve the quality of graphic training of students. Recommendations on the organization of graphic training of students are given, which can be used by geometry teachers both in the field of higher education and secondary special education, after returning to the usual conditions of the educational process.","PeriodicalId":426623,"journal":{"name":"Geometry & Graphics","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124914697","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}

The use of such an algorithm, which increases the strength properties during the construction of the structure, will strengthen these properties with each iteration. The Koch curve principle is applied in the article. Replacing the compressible plate with four new ones connected at angles increases the stability of the structure. \u0000This article theoretically confirms the increase in the stability of the Koch plate both at the level of individual plates and at the level of fractal segments and the structure as a whole (general stability). Regularities of stability changes at different scale levels with an increase in the number of iterations are established. A comparison of variants of Koch plates with different similarity coefficients is also carried out. \u0000The theoretical results were confirmed using simulations in the CAE system Solid-Works - a finite element analysis of the stability of computer models of the Koch plates was carried out. The graphs constructed from the obtained data correspond to the theoretical predictions of the dependence of stability on the geometric parameters of the Koch plate. \u0000As an illustration of the applicability of this kind of fractal structures in the design of aircraft parts, a fractal modification of a typical part, the slat rail, has been developed. The proposed modification of the rail was also investigated using computer simulations. A comparison of the strength properties of a standard-shaped part and its analogue with a fractal structure included showed the advantage of the latter: with certain values of mass and loading scheme, the fractal modification showed twice as much stability. This reduces the weight of the standard slat rail by 5% without loss of strength properties.","PeriodicalId":426623,"journal":{"name":"Geometry & Graphics","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129119986","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}

It is noted that the introduction of undergraduate and master's master has broken a classic domestic system of higher education. A reference is made to the work of specialists who predicted serious problems of building undergraduate in the sphere of professional activity. In relation to graphic training, two aspects are considered: undergraduate and competency -based approach to education. The undergraduate has greatly cut off not only the audit load, but also the total number of hours to study disciplines. The specified deficit gave rise to the exclusion of drawing geometry from a number of educational standards. This trend was paid attention to, in particular, Bulgarian colleagues. The result is the loss of the theoretical basis of the departments teaching graphic disciplines. The investigation is a loss of independence, unification with other departments. Due to the fact that employers in the field of equipment perceived the undergraduate as unacceptable engineers, unsuitable attempts were made to introduce engineering undergraduate. The deficiency of the auditor's load crushed mentoring - the invaluable quality of domestic education. It is especially important when working with 1-2 courses, due to the lack of graphics at school, insufficient training in the field of geometry, a small emphasis on analytics in the educational process. Attention is drawn to the “quiet revolution” that occurred in domestic education in connection with a competency -based approach. The educational process is built from the result to training i.e. In the opposite direction in relation to the classical scheme. Now the main in training is the employer. The relationship, mutual understanding between it and the university, the individual department unambiguously determines the quality of education. A possible dictate can turn a number of aspects of the educational process into formal or ineffective. Examples are given. In terms of forecasts, it is noted that the undergraduate will not disappear at the same time, and the specialists in the field of graphic training are faced with training using innovative approaches in the educational and production educational process within the framework of a specialty.","PeriodicalId":426623,"journal":{"name":"Geometry & Graphics","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122373201","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}

This distinctive feature of the proposed geometric interpretation makes it possible, even when projected onto a plane, to clearly distinguish visualization of the quaternions with a nonzero scalar part from pure vector quaternions, which is difficult to do in the other known interpretations. The representation of quaternions by cones clearly demonstrates the need for a double quaternion product, when the vector is rotated around an arbitrary axis. \u0000Images of quaternions as cones, spheres and vectors can be useful in the study of quaternion algebra, which is currently finding increasing use in engineering.","PeriodicalId":426623,"journal":{"name":"Geometry & Graphics","volume":"266 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122985519","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}

The desire to minimize energy is expressed in the tendency to the densest arrangement of structural units in the cluster. This allows us to assert that cluster structures with the maximum number of connections per structural unit will be the most stable; that clusters tend to a quasi-spherical shape (i.e., cluster sizes along three Cartesian axes should be close if possible, while dense structures are formed, the surface of which is minimal, and the number of connections is maximum); that clusters with higher symmetry are preferable (identical structural units composing the cluster framework should strive to stay in an indistinguishable state and position from each other). \u0000The work applies the knowledge and skills laid down by students in the course of engineering and computer graphics to the study of the patterns of processes in the nanowire on the example of the principles of building nanoclusters along a tetrahedral line using three-dimensional modeling in the Autodesk 3ds Max environment.
