Introduction. More complex mining and geological conditions of solid minerals extraction during
underground development result in the loss of work efficiency. The solution to the problems is in the
creation of shortwall extraction technologies based on the swivel scraper conveyor operation.
Research aim. Based on the analysis of the single-chain traction unit operation situated in the centre
of pans, research aims to provide steady movement of scrapers at ramp’s turn up to 90° in the bedding
plane, develop the constructive scheme of a conveyor which meets the accepted work technologies.
Methodology. System analysis of structures is carried out together with the traction unit movement study,
based on the simulation with the method of dynamic equations linearization in Adams, with the analysis
of data from swivel conveyor prototypes testing.
Results. The model and the movement mechanism of the tension unit with scrapers along the pin-connected
pans at an angle up to 15° have been worked out and substantiated; constructive schemes of units for
the turn zone have been identified, ensuring the stability of tension unit movement and the retention of the
transported material within the limits of the rod. It has made it possible to develop the specification
of requirement for the conveyor test model design, calculation and testing, and specify its scope.
Summary. The possibility of creating efficient models based on the linearization of dynamics equations in
Adams package taking into account oscillations within the system. Features of scrapers movement in the
turn zone and the mechanism of oscillations suppression by means of a “pair of forces” at the scraper
of a traction unit have been identified. The system is effective under the angle of the turn up to 15ο for each
pan. Constructive schemes have been identified for a swivel scraper conveyor that ensure the steady
movement of scrapers and overlap the gaps at the turns of the sections, with an elastic segmental reflector.

Key words: modeling; scraper conveyor; turn zone; linearization of dynamics equations.

Introduction. Winding wire rope, being a flexible element capable of carrying high tensile load, is widely
used in modern hoisting equipment. Now it is hard to imagine the majority of important sectors of economy
without the well-used hoisting wire ropes. This primarily applies to construction and mining where wire
rope is widely used in hoisting equipment.
Research aim. Based on scientific discoveries in mine wire ropes design made by the Russian scientists,
the present research aims to determine the main parameters affecting mine wire rope safe operation.
Methodology. Hoisting wire ropes in service, operating in the conditions of free suspension, are subject to
significant unwinding in tension in deep hoisting shafts, as a result, spiral elements lay angles of wire rope
change and cause a geometrically nonlinear nature of strains. Calculating the radius and angle of waviness
using an inflexible calculation model results in low accuracy. The present research determines the
parameters affecting wire rope safe operation; nonlinear theory of wire ropes calculation has been applied
making it possible to improve the reliability and durability of the mine wire rope.
Results. The present article defines and provides support for the parameter affecting the safe operation of
mine hoisting wire ropes. The equation of the radius of waviness is derived through nonlinear dependences.
The quantitative value of the permissible radius of waviness is specified.
Summary. The obtained formulae allow to determine the permissible value of the radius of waviness
wherein future safe operation of mine wire rope is possible. Due to the formulae which determine the
permissible value of the radius of waviness, the recommendations given in this article will improve
the security of steel mine wire rope operation.

Key words: wire rope; strains; permissible value; waviness, lay angle; theory of wire rope.

Relevance. Due to the deteriorating environmental situation, the significance of ecological factor increases
when substantiating the variants of nature management and subsoil use; it requires further evaluation
of economic damage caused by both of them. The evaluation of the economic damage caused by the human
impact on the environment is based on the economic evaluation of natural resources state during the
formation of environmental implications. The relevance of the research on the natural resources and
ecosystem services economic evaluation procedure improvement is proven as a matter of the national
natural capital importance.
Research aim is to improve cost estimation tools for natural resources and ecosystem services.
Methodology includes generalization and analysis of the notions of eecosystem services and their
classification.
Research results. The preservation of natural capital, when implementing weak sustainability concept,
means that the used natural capital is replaced by the physical one (man-made); in case of strong
sustainability concept implementation, minimum substitution is allowed for. These conditions require
wider economic methods of governmental control in natural management, such as a wider use of economic
evaluation and economic damage. It is necessary to specify the structure of natural capital and draw up
the scheme of natural resources (natural assets) utilization in order to improve the procedure of evaluation.
The present research schematically outlines the procedure of environmental products and services flow
formation, which characterize the utilization of natural assets, i.e. natural resources and ecosystem
services. Definitions of ecosystem services have been analysed, and their difference from ecosystem
functions has been proven as soon as economic evaluation of ecosystem services requires their accurate
definition. Particular classifications of ecosystem services have been generalized and analysed.
The reasonability has been proven to single out a resource function along with ecosystem functions taking
into account that it is often associated with abiotic elements of ecosystems. An author’s variant of ecosystem
services list is proposed, which excludes provisioning services as they are ascribed to the category of
resource services. As far as the regulating services are concerned, the following types are distinguished:
flows regulation, physical environment regulation, and biotic environment regulation. Supporting services
are ascribed to a separate category which is not subject to further economic evaluation. Cultural services
include: spiritual, scientific and educational, and therapeutic. Economic evaluation methods covers both
traditional practical methods applied in nature management and new methods which are often associated
with sociological surveys and questionnaires. Basic conditions for economic evaluation have been
formulated.

Key words: natural capital; natural resources; ecosystem services; functions; classifications; economic
evaluation; methods.
