2003, 16(2): 119-201.

[Abstract](1249)

Abstract:
To describe and smooth curves and curved surfaces in finite element simulation, a method for modifying die surfaces in plate deforming simulation is proposed.

A simulation system is implemented by use of finite element software ABAQUS. An example of simulation is presented, showing that the proposed method and the simulation system is applicable in die surface modification assisted with finite element method.

WANG Yong, L Ke-wei, GUO Xiao-feng, CHEN Bao-shun

2003, 16(2): 127-131.

[Abstract](1708)

Abstract:
Based on dynamics theory of multi-body systems, a nonlinear mathematical model of frame-bogies with Lenoir damper for freight cars is established. A tank car is taken as an example to study the effects of main parameters on hunting stability, dynamic curving behaviors and running responses of vehicle systems. It is shown that the dynamic behaviors of a freight vehicle can be improved greatly by optimization and balancing of the parameters of the bogies. For the bogies concerned, the critical hunting speed can be raised, without deteriorating the performances on curved lines, by properly increasing the stiffness of the axle-box suspension and the friction torque of side bearing, as well as reducing the longitudinal clearance of side bearings.

2003, 16(2): 146-150.

[Abstract](1694)

Abstract:
The application of genetic algorithm in optimization design of structures with discrete variables is presented with an example of optimization design for three-bar hyper static truss structures with discrete variables. The comparison between the result obtained by traditional method and that by genetic algorithm indicates that genetic algorithm is more effective for structural optimization with discrete variables. Genetic algorithm is also used to solve a ten-bar truss structure with discrete variables. The effect of population on convergence of the algorithm is analyzed for the three-and ten-bar truss structures. The result reveals that the rational selection of the population is closely related with the chrome length.

LIAO Li-kun

2003, 16(2): 154-158.

[Abstract](1791)

Abstract:
Tongtian bridge is a foot bridge in Jiulonghsan tourism region, Zhejiang province. Its main span is 208 m. It is light in weight and has good anti-wind properties. A special cable truss structure is adopted. The bridge span consists of the supporting cables, the backward pulling cables, the cables for road surface, the anti-wind cables, and so on. To increase the structural stiffness and stability, all the cables are prestressed. The construction is difficult, because of the spatial structure of the bridge tower, the main cables and those for road surface. The design scheme and nonlinear calculation applied in the design are presented in this paper. The curves and stresses of the cables are calculated under the static and dynamic loads.

Vertical Bearing Capacity of Rock-Socketed Piles Influenced by Batholith Strength

YUAN Wen-zhong, YUZhi-qiang, XIE Tao

2003, 16(2): 178-182.

[Abstract](1682)

Abstract:
The influence of batholith on the vertical pulling bearing capacity of rock-socketed piles is studied. The test results show that the extension of stress and the angle between fracture-sections depend on the strength and integrality of batholith. The higher is the strength ratio of piles to batholith, the more uniform is the shear stress distribution on their interfaces. The displacement is the control index of pile design if the strength of batholith is much less than those of the piles. Failure of a pile depends mainly on the distribution and characteristics of rock discontinuities, and under this condition, the anchorage section should be placed at middle or lower parts of the piles.

Deduction Coefficient of Passenger Train on Speed-up Single-Track Lines

NI Shao-quan, L Hong-xia, MA Si

2003, 16(2): 192-195.

[Abstract](1466)

Abstract:
Raising the speed of passenger trains will change the speed difference between passenger and freight trains, resulting in changes in the removal coefficient of the passenger trains and the passing capacity on a non-paralleled train diagram. The variation range of removal coefficients of raising-speed passenger trains in semi-automatic block zones on a single railway line is determined through theoretical study and simulation. The variation range is large when the number of passenger trains is small, and vice versa, and tends to decrease with the increase in the speeds of passenger trains. When the number of passenger trains is over 10 pairs, the removal coefficient is in the range of 0.8 to 1.1, being most likely between 0.9 to 1.0. It is suggested to take the removal coefficient in the range of 0.85 to 1.15.

Abstract:
Based on the analysis of the structures of train diagrams, the features of V form skylights on busy trunk lines are studied, and a mathematical model is proposed to analyze the key factors in a V form skylight, which influence the carrying capacity of railways. Sensitivity analysis on the factors in a V form skylight shows that the deduction of carrying capacity of a railway line is directly proportional to the time spans and the lengths of V form skylights and inversely proportional to the speed of freight trains and the intervals between trains.

[Abstract](1862)

Abstract:
The basic removal coefficient and additional removal coefficient of speed-up passenger trains on single railway lines are analyzed by taking Hankou-Danjiangkou railway line as the background. When the speed of freight trains is as it is and that of passenger trains is about 120 km/ h, the removal coefficient is between -0.045 and -0.136, the speed-up of passenger trains results in a rise in removal coefficient by 0.2 to 0.7, and a speed-up train passing over another causes an increase in removal coefficient by 0.05 to 0.10. Generally, the removal coefficient of speed-up of passenger trains is about 1.6.

KANG Jie, RENXin-xin

2003, 16(2): 208-211.

[Abstract](1537)

Abstract:
There are three control policies, namely Kanban, CONWIP (constant work in process) and hybrid controls, for lean manufacture that is one of the dominant concepts of management. A difficulty in practice of lean manufacture is how to select the control policy, and it is the concern of this study. Based on the quantitative analysis of the tree control policies, a general model and eigenfunctions are derived for lean manufacture systems. The general model is solved with genetic algorithm and simulation. The comparison of the three control strategies shows that the hybrid control strategy is superior to the others.

WANG Chong, LIUJian-feng, ZHOUHe-fang

2003, 16(2): 216-219.

[Abstract](1186)

Abstract:
Based on the standpoint that investment of higher education is a producible investment has been acknowledged by societies in China, the relationship between higher education and the increase of economy expressed by producible function is analyzed with regressive analysis with the data from 1990 to 2000. The analysis shows that, compared with capital, the investment in higher education has had much less contribution to the economic growth of China, which is closely related to inadequate investment in higher education and implying the necessity to increase investment in higher education and enrollment of students.

Abstract:
Optical space communication is the best way to overcome the bottle-neck in the high speed communication between low earth orbit (LEO) and geostationary earth orbit (GEO) satellites. The key techniques and difficulties in optical space communication are high date rates and high power lamphouse technology. Two schemes are proposed for the communication, one using 1 550 nm band and the other taking 800 nm band. It is suggested that the scheme using 1 550 nm band be preferable with the available technologies.
