* primary, provoked by Autonomous sources. Such, except for passing cars, of turbulence, of the incident in the first place are the motor and drivetrain elements;
• secondary. The sound waves coming from the noise sources pass
through the materials that isolate the car interior: the metal parts of the body (motor shield, "tunnel", wheel arch, etc.), the Components of the car control, as well as the plastic elements of the finishing and dashboard. They all resonate, creating structural noise. This contributes not only to the transmission of primary noise, but also provokes its own vibration vibrations (most of all in the joints of these parts).
That is why the sound insulation of the engine compartment perhaps the first point, which begins with high-quality sound insulation of the car. Of course, the engine or transmission to paste sound insulation materials, we can not. Processed are:
* motor shield with internal and external parties (the partition that separates the car and the underhood compartment);
• the internal cavity of the instrument panel;
• hood;
• interior part of wheel arches, side panels;
• "tunnel", near which the exhaust system, and in cars with rear-wheel
drive or all-wheel drive and gimbal transmission.
4.3.2. Materials for desiccation
Noise insulation of the car engine is carried out by three classes of materials.
* vibration damping-composition based on bitumen and foam rubber. It has a viscoelastic structure and is used to convert mechanical vibrations into thermal energy. In practice, the tight fit of the material allows to extinguish resonant vibrations of metal and plastic elements. The vibration absorber forms the base layer. It is most effective at insulation of thin­walled metal surfaces (up to 3 mm).

• Soundproof material has a special structure. It reflects not only
sound but also heat waves.
• Noise absorbers ‒ fibrous or porous material in which a large number
of interconnected cavities (in some models with a dense insulating layer on the front side). The open structure retains and disperses the noise.
4.3.3. Selection of materials
If different models of the material have the same composition and structure, but different thickness, you can follow the rule - the thicker, the better. In this case, the effectiveness also depends on the method of combination and the area of pasting. Not for all materials and areas of the vehicle, the percentage of covered area is directly proportional to efficiency.
Among manufacturers, experts recommend:
• STP and Shumoff, which are recognized leaders in the domestic
market;
• Vikar;
• Noisebuster;
• SGM.
4.3.4. Cable
To implement the developed method of torque transmission, it is necessary, taking into account the working forces, to select the cables of the required strength.
The strength of the steel cable is one of the main criteria for its evaluation. The permissible load of steel cables depends on the strength of the product, which is determined by its thickness, design and method of manufacture.
This in turn will certainly affect a large number of parts, which, depending on the diameter of the selected cable will have the appropriate elements are made taking into account this parameter.

4.3.5. Couplings
It is obvious that in the design without the use of couplings can not do at least to ensure alignment between the motor rotor and the gear shaft, so consider the most popular types of couplings and analyze them.
Rigid couplings are the simplest type. Rigid couplings have an all-metal housing made of steel, aluminum or other metal, which causes their special strength, that is, such couplings are able to transmit a significant moment without deformation. Rigid couplings, for example, BA series (aluminum), are characterized by high rigidity and low cost. However, the stiffness has a reverse side - BA couplings are unable to compensate for misalignment of the shafts and absorb vibration, so that can only be used in machines with precisely manufactured structural parts and high build quality.
Spiral couplings, as well as rigid couplings BA series, are made of a single piece of aluminum alloy, but have a significant difference - the Central part of the coupling has a precise cross-cutting. These cuts are made so that the flexible spiral couplings are easily bent within certain limits, but the torsional rigidity of the coupling does not change - it still transmits the moment synchronously, without gaps and elastic deformations. However, the moment itself is transmitted at the same time, of course, much - 4-8 times less than that of rigid couplings, because the cuts reduce the strength of the aluminum rod. Such a fee for the main advantage flexibility (at high budget), which makes it possible to connect the shafts so, the angle between the shafts for couplings of the DR series can reach 2 degrees, and the minimum center distance - 0.2 mm.
These couplings (BF series) are collapsible Cam. Between the two integral parts of the coupling is inserted a cushioning polyurethane gasket
- on the one hand, the polyurethane has enough hardness to transmit the moment synchronously, on the other, enough elastic and binding to absorb some of the shock vibrations. As a result, BF couplings, on the one hand, are able to transmit significant torque, several times more than in spiral clutches (which brings them closer in this property to the rigid BA
74
couplings), and on the other - are able to slightly compensate for misalignment of the shafts (angle up to 1 degree) and absorb vibration, which is useful when using stepper motors. Of the minuses it is worth noting that the polyurethane gasket is subject to normal wear-over time, the material is gradually deformed, and there is a gap, and then there is a need to replace the clutch.
Membrane couplings are also collapsible flexible couplings, and represent a more advanced solution than spiral ‒ membrane couplings are also used when you need to connect the shafts, which can be at an angle. Application of steel membrane in the capacity of transmitting torque element allows to eliminate the main weakness of the spiral coupling, small load capacity. Membrane couplings are able to transmit absolutely synchronously the moment equal to and even greater than the rigid couplings BA, and their flexibility (due to the excellent elasticity of the steel membranes) at the same time exceeds the flexibility of the spiral couplings DR - the angle between the shafts can reach 2.5 degrees, the center distance 0.2 mm. the Only aspect in which the membrane couplings are inferior to the spiral is the speed of rotation, but the maximum speed of the membrane couplings in 10000-14000 rpm will satisfy the vast majority of practical tasks. Membrane couplings are used wherever the strength of the spiral clutch is not enough (there is a possibility of damage to the clutch), as well as in cases where the spring properties of the spiral couplings are undesirable. Thus, membrane couplings are desirable to use with powerful engines stepper motors with flange NEMA 34 and more, as well as servo motors.
The final selection of the coupling that will be applied in the development will be carried out only for the finished final design, which will determine the specific operating conditions and requirements.

Summary
Thus, after analyzing the previous information, it became obvious that to date, undoubtedly the entire system will be subject to the control of the microcontroller (of the most common and available is the Arduino development platform). NEMA series 23 and 34 stepper motors will be used from a number of engines (Annex 6). However, despite the presence to date in the relatively free access of electromyographic sensors, it was chosen for the first prototype to still rely on the concept of a simpler and primitive control, namely the placement of control buttons on crutches, which not only will not be problems with noise, but will allow people to use the device whose limbs are absent at all.
In the process of working on the project, it became obvious that it is necessary that the conditions for stopping the supply of power to the drives, the mobility in the hinges is blocked. This would save energy and in case of problems or simply the end of the battery / fuel, fix the design statically, which is very important given the potential application of the product. It was decided to develop special brakes-clamps to the rotor of the engine, which are reduced by tension springs and diluted with electromagnets.
Designs with the use of ballscrews brakes would not need, which makes the option of using them quite attractive in view of the fact that to obtain the necessary effort would be enough engines 2-2.7 Nm, which would also affect the power consumption for the better, as well as the total weight of the displacement blocks. However, ballscrew designs are well known and do not require additional consideration. They can be applied to the development with the involvement of a minimum number of non­standard elements. Therefore, further work will be carried out with the development of blocks for the created methods of torque transmission on structures 2 and 3 in this section.

5. SIMULATION OF THE MOTION OF BIPEDAL EXOSKELETON
WITH FIVE AXES
5.1. Control of the electric drive of the exoskeleton based on a
high-torque motor with permanent magnets
The control system of the brushless motor with permanent magnets was implemented in The Matlab – Simulink environment. Figure 5.1 shows a General diagram of a DC brushless motor control system with a rotor position sensor.
Figure 5.1 Diagram of the control system
The operation of the voltage inverter is based on switching the DC power supply to periodically change the polarity of the voltage. The switching frequency is set by the control signals generated by the control circuit (control hysteresis unit).
Hysteresis control method is used to suppress noise and to improve the dynamic characteristics of engines [11]. The principle of operation of the hysteresis of single-phase current control A is set out in figures 5.2 and
5.5.
