    Прикладна теорія коливань в галузі машинобудування : навчальний посібник
    (ФОП Бровін О. В., 2026) Богомолов, В. О.; Клименко, В. І.; Леонтьєв, Д. М.; Ужва, А. В.
    У навчальному посібнику викладено основи прикладної теорії механічних коливань, які є необхідними для підготовки фахівців в галузі машинобудування. Розглянуто класифікацію та методи дослідження вільних, вимушених, автоколивальних та нелінійних систем з одним і двома ступенями вільності, а також систем з розподіленими параметрами (струни, стрижні). Значну увагу приділено питанням віброізоляції та віброгашення, а також практичному застосуванню методу кінцевих елементів у сучасних програмних комплексах. Навчальний посібник призначений для здобувачів вищих навчальних закладів автомобільних та механічних спеціальностей, може бути корисним інженерам-практикам у галузі машинобудування, автомобілебудування та автомобільного транспорту. This study guide presents the fundamentals of applied theory of mechanical oscillations, which are essential for training specialists in the field of mechanical engineering. It covers the classification and methods of studying free, forced, self-oscillating, and nonlinear systems with one and two degrees of freedom, as well as systems with distributed parameters (strings, rods). Considerable attention is paid to issues of vibration isolation and vibration damping, as well as to the practical application of the finite element method in modern software packages. The study guide is intended for students of higher educational institutions in automotive and mechanical engineering disciplines, and may also be useful for practicing engineers in the fields of mechanical engineering, automotive engineering, and automobile transport.

    Hardness of Materials: Theory, Testing Methods, and Applications : monograph
    (Харківський національний автомобільно-дорожній університет, 2025) Moshchenok, Vasyl
    This groundbreaking monograph is not just a book - it is a scientific and practical handbook designed to guide researchers, doctoral candidates, and engineers in advancing their studies. A true treasure of experimental data, it offers a wealth of results that can be directly applied in dissertations, scholarly publications, and innovative research. The author not only systematizes existing methods but also formulates a physical law of hardness, uniting linear, surface, projected, and volumetric hardness into a coherent scientific framework. Covering macro-, micro-, and nanoscales, the book presents both theory and practice, highlighting the role of advanced indentation methods and the indentation size effect. Essential for materials scientists, engineers, and technical researchers, this monograph provides inspiration, a reliable toolkit, and an authoritative reference for the future of hardness studies.

    Development of the Brinell Method: For Macro-, Micro- and Nano Ranges : monograph
    (Харківський національний автомобільно-дорожній університет, 2025) Moshchenok, Vasyl; Moshchenok, Vasyl V.; Moshchenok, Mykhailo
    The monograph “Development of the Brinell Method for Macro-, Micro-, and Nano Ranges” presents a comprehensive scientific and practical modernization of the classical Brinell hardness testing method. It explores theoretical foundations, international standards, and experimental techniques for measuring hardness at macro, micro, and nano scales using both recovered and unrecovered indentation. The work introduces new classifications of hardness (surface, projection, volume), methods for evaluating material properties with spherical-conical indenters, and practical guidelines for adapting traditional equipment to modern precision tasks. This book is a valuable resource for researchers, engineers, and educators in materials science and mechanical engineering.

    Rockwell Hardness Method: Theory, Practice and Evolution : monograph
    (Харківський національний автомобільно-дорожній університет, 2026) Moshchenok, Vasyl
    This monograph presents a comprehensive and systematic exploration of the Rockwell method as one of the cornerstone tools of modern hardness testing. The book clearly explains the physical and metrological foundations of the method, the loading and unloading stages, the formation of the measured result, and the critical role of the indenter. Special attention is given to state-of-the-art hardness testers from leading global manufacturers, the full classification of Rockwell scales, and the practical use of diamond and ball indenters of different sizes. Dedicated chapters extend the Rockwell approach into the nano- and micro-indentation ranges and introduce new concepts of surface, projection, and volume hardness supported by experimental studies. The monograph concludes with a practical operator’s guide for Rockwell hardness testers, making this book equally valuable for researchers, engineers, students, and instructors.

    Physical Foundations of Vickers Hardness Determination
    (Харківський національний автомобільно-дорожній університет, 2026) Moshchenok, Vasyl
    Physical Foundations of Vickers Hardness Determination is a scientific monograph devoted to one of the most important methods of hardness testing, combining the classical principles of testing with modern physical, metrological, and digital approaches to the analysis of results. The book consistently presents the historical development of the Vickers method, the geometric foundations of hardness calculation, the physical meaning of the classical formula, and the specific features of modern hardness testers, indenters, hardness reference blocks, and the regulatory framework for testing. Particular attention is paid to new approaches to the determination of surface, projection, and volumetric hardness, as well as to the comparison of the recovered and unrecovered indentation methods. The monograph includes experimental studies of steel, bronze, duralumin, brass, and copper, along with a description of a software-methodological complex and laboratory work performed in the Excel environment. The publication is intended for researchers, engineers, university teachers, postgraduate students, and students of technical specialties working in the fields of materials science, deformation mechanics, and hardness testing.
