It defines which physical parameters of the single object need to be known to properly transfer a virtual algorithm into a physical system. Considerations have been based on a stochastic movement swarm performing \u0000a coverage task. Time to finish the task and energy consumptions were measured for different numbers of drones in a swarm allowing to designate an optimal size of the swarm. Additional tests for changing variables allowed us to determine their impact on the swarm performance. The presented algorithm is a discrete-time solution and every test is divided into steps. Positions of the drones are calculated only in time corresponding to these steps. Their position is unknown between these steps and the algorithm does not check if the paths of two drones cross between subsequent positions. The lower the time interval, the more precise results, but simulating the test requires more computing power. Further work should consider the smallest possible time intervals or additional feature to check if the paths of the drones do not cross.\u0000\u0000","PeriodicalId":52820,"journal":{"name":"Problemy Mechatroniki","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44271699","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 article contains a full mathematical description of the bomb-WSS system motion. It allows you to calculate the spatial motion of the bomb and the motion of WSS in relation to the bomb. The method of calculating the aerodynamic forces is also described. The sample simulation results were presented and discussed. The equations of motion of the system were determined. They constituted the basis for the development of a computer program to simulate the motion of the system. Aerodynamic forces and moments were calculated using the Prodas software and based on the results of the bomb tests in the wind tunnel. The mass and geometrical data of the system relate to the tested prototype of an aerial bomb. The result of the research is a comprehensive assessment of the influence of the geometric parameters of the mobile tracking system on the dynamic stability of the bomb-WSS system. This knowledge is necessary for proper design of control laws based on the signals registered by the WSS. The main parameter influencing the WSS-bomb stability is the aerodynamic focus position of the tracking system. It should be behind the WSS attachment point. \u0000The position of the WSS centre of mass in relation to the attachment point also has an adverse effect on its stability. The length of the stick connecting the WSS with the bomb is irrelevant.\u0000\u0000","PeriodicalId":52820,"journal":{"name":"Problemy Mechatroniki","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47389243","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 conducted research shows that the threaded blind titanium rivets meet the requirements to be substitutes for solid rivets. The performed numerical calculations show that in riveted joints, an important role in the load transfer is played by the friction forces between the joined elements, and the value of these forces depends on the pressure of the head and the tab.
