Auxiliary Train Location Technique with Registration Arms of Electrified Railways

MA Yong-qiang, GUO Jin

2005, 18(1): 1-4.

[Abstract](1731)

Abstract:
A train positioning technique was proposed as an auxiliary measure for the train locating system based on balise system and odometer. The technique uses the detected location signal at each registration arm to correct the errors accumulated in the odometer. An inspecting window is used in detection of registration arms to avoid interferences from background objects. This auxiliary locating technique brings much higher precision on train location and requires much less balise devices.

FU Long-hai, LI Meng

2005, 18(1): 13-17.

[Abstract](1516)

Abstract:
A dynamic model for a transducer-electromotor-pressure loop and a fresh air valve-CO2 volume content loop was established in order to eliminate the coupling of each loop in a variable-air- volume (VAV) air-conditioning system and effectively control the system. In addition, decoupling control technology based on the PID (proportion-integral-differential) ANN (artificial neural network) was used to eliminate the coupling between the two loops. Its operation condition shows that the decoupling control technology based on the PID ANN is feasible to the decoupling control of the two loops in a VAV air-conditioning system.

2005, 18(1): 18-21.

[Abstract](1486)

Abstract:
A B-spline neural network was trained to be a neural network chaotic controller to predict the time sequences of chaotic systems and obtain their perturbation signals for control of chaotic systems. The data around the fixed points of unstable periodic orbits were used as input samples to train the parametric perturbation model. The perturbation signals were embedded in a chaotic attractor on the inputs of parameter perturbation model. Numerical simulation on Henon mapping demonstrates that the proposed model is effective for nonlinear chaotic motion control.

New Fuzzy Self-Tuning Genetic Algorithm

FANG Lei, ZHANG Huan-chun, JING Ya-zhi

2005, 18(1): 22-25.

[Abstract](1616)

Abstract:
To overcome the drawback of“early maturing”of the classical genetic algorithm (GA) and improve its global convergency and convergency speed, a new fuzzy self-tuning genetic algorithm was proposed. In the new algorithm, the overall population is divided into several sub- populations and each sub-population has its own operators. Fuzzy reasoning is applied to give effective operators more opportunity to search under the condition of keeping the overall population size unchanged. The fuzzy reasoning can sense the contributions of these operators and then decides their population size. Simulation result of function optimization shows that with the proposed algorithm, the phenomenon of the“early maturing”can be effectively overcome, and a satisfying optimization result can be obtained.

In addition, results obtained by two algorithms,i.e., removing redundant fuzzy association rules or not, were compared respectively with experimental results for the mining of strong fuzzy association rules defined by support and implication degrees. The research result shows that the algorithm of removing redundant fuzzy association rules can raise the mining efficiency.

2005, 18(1): 30-34.

[Abstract](1104)

Abstract:
Based on the characteristics of the diamond search, the concept of search length was brought forth. A novel controllable predictive cross-square fast search algorithm was proposed through investigating the characters of checking points with different search lengths. The proposed algorithm takes concepts of“stop when good enough”spirit and MIPC (multiple initial predictor candidates) in PMVFAST (predictive motion vector field adaptive search technique) algorithm. In the proposed algorithm, controllable predictive search criteria are set down based on the statistical characteristics of block distortion of checking points. Simulated experiments show that the proposed algorithm can obtain a better video quality than the other search algorithms. In addition, it has a good control capability of search speed, and its search speed can increase 1.5 to 2.5 times with less than 0.05 dB degradation of video quality.

2005, 18(1): 35-38.

[Abstract](1191)

Abstract:
To resolve the real-time problem in data acquisition, a new real-time data acquisition method was proposed. In this method, actively sending data to serialport is created on intelligent equipment and a thread program of serialport monitoring is created based on multithreading technology. Handshake and end-connecting processes in conventional serialport communication are taken out from the procedure of data acquisition, and the reliability of the system can be guaranteed. The experimental results show that data transmitting time is shortened to 20% of the original transmitting time when transmitted data are 20 bytes per time. The proposed method has been applied to practice.

Comparison among Methods of Decision Tree Pruning

WEIHong-ning

2005, 18(1): 44-48.

[Abstract](1476)

Abstract:
To select a suitable pruning method in decision tree pruning, four well-known pruning methods were compared in terms of computational complexity, traversal strategy, error estimation and theoretical principle by taking a classification and regression tree as an example. Compared with pessimistic error pruning (PEP), minimum error pruning (MEP) is less accurate and produces a larger tree. Reduced error pruning (REP) is one of the simplest pruning strategies, but it has the disadvantage of requiring a separate data set for pruning. Cost-complexity pruning (CCP) produces a smaller tree than REP with similar accuracy. Practically, if the training data is abundant, REP is preferable; and if the train data is the expected accuracy is high but with limited data, PEP is good choice.

SHAN De-shan, LI Qiao

2005, 18(1): 53-58.

[Abstract](1491)

Abstract:
Based on the coupled vibration theory, dynamical models and equations of motion were set up respectively to an X-style arch bridge and vehicles. Vehicles and X-style arch bridge were divided into two vibration subsystems connected by nonlinear contact forces between wheels and tracks, and the iteration method was used to solve the two subsystems. A self-developed software analyzing the coupled vibration of vehicles and bridge was applied to an X-style railway arch bridge. The vertical and transverse displacements of this bridge, its dynamic amplificatory factor, and the derailment and offload factors of vehicles were evaluated. The result shows that under the discussed conditions, they all meet the current national criteria.

ZHENG Jia-shu, YUZhi-xiang

2005, 18(1): 58-63.

[Abstract](1245)

Abstract:
The modal properties of two practical cable-net structures, as examples, were analyzed with the sub-space iteration method to investigate the characteristic of frequency distribution of general cable-net structures and the effects of structural parameters, such as steel cable stiffness, structure mass and rise to span ratio, on their free vibration properties. In addition, the modal analysis considering geometry update was carried out. The research results show that the vibration modes of a cable-net structure are close each other, the initial tensile force and the structure mass are two important factors influencing the free vibration properties of a cable-net structure.

ZHANG Yuan-hai, LI Qiao

2005, 18(1): 64-68.

[Abstract](1523)

Abstract:
The generalized conforming element for thin plate bending and the membrane element for plane stress were combined to obtain a plane shell element to analyze the shear lag effect for continuous skew box girder bridges. Comparison between experimental and computed results proved the effectiveness of this analytical method in the three-dimensional analysis of skew box girder bridges. As an example, skew box girders with different degrees of skew were analyzed respectively to investigate longitudinal and transversal distributions of shear lag effect under concentrated or uniform force, and were compared with the corresponding right box girders. The result shows that a skew box girder has more remarkable shear lag behavior than a right box girder. Shear lag effect must be fully considered in the design of a skew box girder.

WANPeng, ZHENG Kai-feng, LIJie

2005, 18(1): 69-72.

[Abstract](1323)

Abstract:
A three-dimensional FE (finite element) model was established for a long-span arch and rigid frame combination bridge using software SAP2000 in order to solve the problem of interaction induced by tensioning the tie bars of rigid frame and main span and adjust its internal forces and geometry. To meet the requirements for stresses and deformations in the key locations of the combination bridge, reasonable tensioning forces were determined on the basis of construction processes. The result shows that the tensioning force of main span is mainly undertaken by rigid frame. Finally, it was pointed out that the influence of geometrical nonlinearity on internal forces may be ignored under the condition of dead load.

2005, 18(1): 73-76.

[Abstract](1394)

Abstract:
Laboratory tests were performed on red bed soft rocks. The results show that shear strength parameters from a shear test and a triaxial compressive test are not consistent, and that friction angle changes with a regularity of continuous decreasing from the shear of intact rock to the triaxial compression of rock mass to the shear of structural planes. From the above experimental results, reasons for the difference between the three tests were analyzed respectively based on the strength theory of rock and the methods of laboratory tests. Relationships between the shear strength parameters of rock mass from a triaxial test and the shear strength parameters of structural planes were set up. In addition, the principles of determining the shear strength parameters of rock mass were put forward.

ZHOUJiang-ping, PENG Xiong-zhi

2005, 18(1): 77-81.

[Abstract](1241)

Abstract:
Based on the micro mechanical feature of materials and the strength theory of fibrous bunchiness, the macro statistical size effect of materials was gained. As an example, the shear strength of specimens from a concrete project with three scales,i.e.,small, medium and big sizes widely adopted in soil strength tests, was discussed using the statistical analysis and the Monte-Carlo method. The result shows the statistical size effect of soil shear strength. The research indicates that different sizes of specimens result in different values of soil shear strength, and this phenomenon can be well explained using the strength theory of fibrous bunchiness. When the size of a soil specimen is bigger than medium size, its shear strength tends to be unchanged.

[Abstract](1238)

Abstract:
The upper and lower approximation operators of rough set were defined by dual form. The representation theorems for this kind of fuzzy rough sets were presented using cut set of relative fuzzy relation and fuzzy sets.

It is also proved that ZadehK s fuzzy Compositional Rule of Inference (CRI) has the same form with the specific generalized extension principle, and the inference result can be obtained through it. Thus, fuzzy inference can be studied with the help of the properties of generalized extension principle and rough set theory.

LüQi-bing, TAN Ke-li, DAIHong

2005, 18(1): 122-125.

[Abstract](1395)

Abstract:
According to equivalent circuit of the main welding circuit, a mathematic model was derived for maximum output power of theК-type alternative current rail flash butt welding machines. Based on the model, a high efficiency welding procedure was proposed, and the control program was designed. Experiments were conducted on aК900 rail flash welding machine by setting different welding currents at high voltage stages to determine the time at this stage. The experimental results indicate that welding time at high voltage stages is short when welding current at high voltage stage is close to the welding current corresponding to highest output power of the machine. Therefore, with the proposed procedure, the rail under welding can be heated fast, shortening the welding time and increase the productivity.
