Abstract:
In order to explore the mechanism of rain-wind-induced vibration of cables, a modified model for rain-wind-induced vibration of cables was proposed based on aerodynamic coefficients tested by a spatial model with three-dimensional ambient flows. Furthermore, the feasibility of the modified model was verified through a comparison between analytical results and the ones obtained by wind tunnel tests. The characteristics of rain-wind-induced vibration were explored from the aspect of vibration energy. The research indicates that the rain-wind-induced vibration of cables is a type of galloping with a limited amplitude induced by negative slopes of aerodynamic lift coefficients and has the properties of self-excitation and limited amplitude vibrations.

Abstract:
In order to analyze the stochastic responses of a train-bridge coupling system in high-speed railway, the pseudo-excitation method (PEM) was applied to transform a vertical track profile irregularity into the superposition of harmonic excitations at a series of frequency points to translate a non-stationary random vibration problem into a deterministic time history problem. The method of separate iteration was used to solve the equations for the coupling system. The maximum and minimum responses of the coupling system were obtained based on the thrice standard error principle. The change regularities of the stochastic responses under different train velocities were discussed. The results show that the vertical displacement and acceleration of car body have large randomness, and the vertical responses of the mid-span of a bridge and the vertical wheel/rail force are influenced by the deterministic load. Train velocity has a significant influence on the maximum vertical acceleration of the mid-span and the maximum and minimum vertical accelerations of the car body.

PDF 689KB(934)

Abstract:
Accurate calculation of deflection of composite beams with elastic shear connections is difficult because of difficultly getting an analytical solution under an arbitrary load, and analytical solutions in common load cases are quite complicated. For these reasons, a simplified calculation method called method of reduction of stiffness was provided in Chinese Code for Design of Steel Structures. However, the results obtained by the method are not accurate enough and its application is limited under some circumstances. In order to solve the above problem, a new method called effective stiffness method was proposed. Calculations with this method are simple and accurate, and the proposed method has a clear mechanic background and can give a composite factor showing the actual effect of shear connections. It can be used to composite beams with an arbitrary stiffness of shear connections, i.e., from near zero to infinity. The calculation results show that the relative error between its solutions and analytical solutions is less than 1.0%.

Abstract:
In order to investigate the structural behavior of perfobond rib shear connectors in the whole load-bearing process, 37 specimens of perfobond rib shear connectors, sorted into 11 groups, were tested in the failure test under static loading. The load-slip curve in each working region and failure mode was studied, the influences of the shear stiffness of concrete bars and the tension bearing capacity of perforated rebar on the load-slip relationship were analyzed using the normalization method, and a uniform calculation formula of load-slip relationship was established. The results show that the load-slip relationship in elastic region is linear, whose slope is mainly affected by the shear stiffness of the concrete bars. In elastoplastic and hardening regions, the load-slip relationship is a power law, whose coefficient is linear with the shear stiffness of concrete bars and the tension bearing capacity of steel bars. The rational diameter of the steel bars in the perfobond rib shear connector with concrete bars of diameter 60 and 45 mm, is 20 and 16 mm, respectively.

Abstract:
In order to probe into the approaches and effects of reducing the water content in saturated over-wet soils in moist and rainy areas, the water drainage effects of the vacuum preloading method and electro-osmosis method were compared via indoor model tests. The result indicates that the both methods can effectively reduce water contents in saturated over-wet soils and obtain the desired effects of drainage and consolidation, but there exists inhomogeneity in the spatial distribution of water-reducing content when they are used. When the vacuum preloading method is adopted, water contents in top and bottom soil layers do not change significantly, and consolidation effect is relatively homogenous.

PDF 1840KB(839)

Abstract:
In order to research the failure characteristics of segmental lining structure for Nanjing Yangtze River tunnel, a prototype test was carried out by using a “multi-function shield tunnel structure test system”. Water pressure and earth pressure were applied separately upon the prototype segmental lining structure in the test. And the failure characteristics of underwater shield tunnels under straight or staggered assembling were discussed respectively. The research results show that the damages of Nanjing Yangtze River tunnel are resulted mainly from bend cracking. Bend crack developing is always accompanied by the remarkable development of structure deformation and segment joint opening. The features of segment joint opening, cracking and deformation developing are different to the two different types of assembling structures. Compared with a straight assembling segmental structure, a staggered assembling segmental structure has a small deformation and crack width but fast cracking speed

In order to solve the problem that system performances are impacted by increased train headway in the station area in an urban rail transit system, the existing algorithms for train headway in a CBTC (communication based train control) system were analyzed, and a headway optimization method was proposed based on the platform speed restriction and the speed-restriction-area parameter adjustment. With this method, an optimized train headway can be obtained by simulation of the relationship among platform speed restriction setting, train headway and travel speed.

[Abstract](1035)

PDF 943KB(586)

Abstract:
In order to analyze the effect of noise signals on the estimation of harmonic and inter-harmonic parameters, a new method was proposed on the basis of the essential property of noise information and the several useful strategies including the modern cross-spectrum, total least square, ESPRIT (estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance) and improved Prony techniques. In this method, the cross-spectrum technique is used to deal with the cross-correlation matrix of different sampled signal sequences, and signal and noise subspaces are identified validly with the help of the independent principle of white noise at different times. And then the frequencies of signal components can be extracted directly by combining the total least square technique with the ESPRIT technique. Finally, based on the estimated frequency of every signal component and the characteristic of zero average value of noise signals, the magnitude and initial phase of the signal components are obtained by using the improved Prony technique. The results show that conditioned upon low signal-to-noise ratio, the proposed method can distinguish more sub-signals and the relative errors of frequencies are less than 0.4% with merely time consumption of 0.058 s, characterizing a high estimation accuracy and efficiency.

[Abstract](1180)

PDF 1310KB(522)

Abstract:
A novel fault type classification approach for ultra-high voltage (UHV) transmission lines was proposed based on the adaptive-network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) to distinguish the ten common fault types, including single line to ground faults, line to line to ground faults, line to line faults, and three-phase fault. In this approach, the standard deviation and inter-quartile range of fault components of one cycle post-fault-current are taken as the characteristic quantities of fault classification. The influence of noise and harmonic on the characteristic quantities was analyzed. A fault classification model based on the ANFIS was established. A large number of simulations were carried out in PSCAD/EMTDC (power systems computer aided design/electromagnetic transients including direct current). The results indicate that the proposed approach is capable to identify fault types fast with a high accuracy up to 99.5%. Furthermore, the approach is insensitive to different fault initial angles, fault distances and fault resistances and has a good adaptability for different noise levels, harmonics, transform characteristics of current transformer (CT) and sampling frequencies.

PDF 1212KB(516)

Abstract:
A super-resolution image reconstruction algorithm was proposed using the 2nd generation curvelet to reduce the edge blur caused by traditional algorithms. In the proposed algorithm, the original image is decomposed into j scales using curvelet. The curvelet coefficients in the j scales of the zoomed-in image are obtained by utilizing the proportionality of curvelet bases between adjacent scales, and the curvelet coefficients in the (j+1)th scale are determined by utilizing the spatial template of curvelet coefficients with the largest scale number. All the curvelet coefficients are processed with a nonlinear function to enhance image quality.The zoomed-in image with fine edges is finally created through curvelet reconstruction because of the good directional characteristic of curvelet. Experiments on two benchmarking images shown that, the proposed algorithm could preserve more image features and edge sharpness, and the peak signal to noise ratios (PSNRs) for the two images increased by 2.2 and 0.6 dB, respectively, compared with those obtained with a traditional interpolation algorithm.

Abstract:
For describing the distribution characteristics of headway, driving behaviors are classified into car-following state and free driving state by reference to the two-fluid theory. After analysis of their operation features, a mixed distribution model that can describe the headway distribution of both the two driving states was built. The model parameters were determined by expectation maximization (EM) algorithm using the measured data.

The results show that the mixed distribution model can pass the chi-square test in all road situations. Compared with the negative exponential distribution, Erlang distribution, and M3 distribution, the mixed distribution model can improve the fitting accuracy of simulation by more than 10%, and obtain a more close result to the measured data in calculating the traffic capacity of an expressway on-ramp.

Abstract:
The existing average speed estimation models based on GPS (global positioning system) data of taxis are not applicable where high precision and low cost are of necessities. Two traditional models, namely a time integral model and a time interpolation model, based on the GPS data of taxis were modified, and the two modified models were combined to form a hybrid model. The three new models were verified using GPS data of taxis obtained from a part of road network of a large city. The results shown that the estimating precisions of the two modified models increased by 1.5% and 19.7%, respectively, compared with the original time integral model and time interpolation model, and those of the hybrid model by 2.8% and 8.8%, respectively, compared with the two modified models

PDF 791KB(501)

Abstract:
A simulation process was built to address the impact of landscapes on driving safety on road bends in mountain area. In the simulation, the judgment method of transverse slide accidents of vehicles, the generation method of obstacles or other vehicles within the front view of a driver, the calculation method of the sight distance of the driver, and the judgment method of the vehicle safety state are discussed in detail. Then, a simulation program written with VB language was used to analyze the impact of vehicle speed, bend radius and landscape position on the safety of vehicles. The results show that the risk probability of vehicles is reduced by about 58% on a large-radius bend than that on a small-radius bend when the two landscapes have the same distance from roadside and the road design speed is 60 km/h. With the same bend radius, the risk probability of vehicles in case of high road design speed was smaller than that in case of low one; for example, the risk probability is reduced by about 33% when the road design speed is increased from 80 to 60 km/h on a medium-radius bend.

PDF 906KB(524)

Abstract:
A closed loop control approach was proposed to overcome the shortcomings of open loop control that can not tackle stochastic events in airport surface operations. A control strategy for head-on conflict on taxiway in an airport equipped with an A-SMGCS (advanced surface movement guidance and control system) was investigated based on the supervisory control theory of DES (discrete event systems). A controlled Petri net model for the taxiway layout was established, which maps the set of places to the set of taxiing routes. The model was simplified using the known taxiing routes sequences of aircrafts. The sufficient and necessary conditions to avoid head-on conflict on taxiway were determined with the loops and loop chain being considered. Conflict avoidance strategies and the corresponding algorithm for decision-making were presented. Simulation demonstrated that the proposed strategy could identify and avoid head-on conflict on taxiway in real time by monitoring the surface operations.

[Abstract](962)

PDF 755KB(495)

Abstract:
To solve the lubricating failure of spacecrafts in orbit for lack of lubrication, a high-pressure mist nozzle was applied to the spatial lubrication field. A gas-liquid two-phase flow model for direct mist nozzles was established, and the mist flow generating process was simulated using the software of computational fluid dynamic technology CFD-ACE+2009. On this basis, both the lubricant flow velocity and pressure distribution near the nozzle were investigated. By comparison of two high-viscosity fluids, NYE 2001 and Krytox 143AB, with diesel oil in numerical experiments, the effects of fluid physical parameters on pressure propagation and flow velocity variation were analyzed. The simulation results show that the high viscosity of aerospace lubricant NYE 2001 would inhibit the pressure transfer in the mist nozzle severely; for instance, the pressure decreased from 1.5 MPa at the inlet to 0.42 MPa at the end of the 1 mm long nozzle, with a declining rate of 97.2%. Therefore, overhigh viscosity of liquid and overlong nozzle are unfavorable to droplets spray.

The Monte-Carlo simulation result shows that the proposed algorithm can estimate the systematic errors effectively and is of engineering application value.

Abstract:
In order to study the effects of alcohol drinking on electroencephalography (EEG) during driving, a system of indicators for EEG analysis were set up based on the real-time EEG data of drivers collected by a neuroscan EEG system under virtual scenes made of sharp curves, emergency stop belts, obstacle zones and straight line segments. After fast Fourier transform, the mean powers of delta wave (δ), theta wave (θ), alpha wave (α), middle fast wave, beta wave (β), and gama wave (γ) were calculated, and the proportion of the power in each frequency range to the whole frequency range was obtained. Then, the differences of the combined indicator (α+θ)/β were compared between drunk driving and non-drunk driving, and all the indicators were analyzed by the paired sample t-test. The results show that alcohol drinking affects significantly the theta wave, alpha wave, and gama wave, with t-test values being less than 0.01; but does not affect significantly the rest of EEGs, with t-test values being more than 0.05. Among the three parameters affected significantly, only the difference of gama wave before and after drinking reduces gradually with the blood alcohol concentration (BAC) decreasing. When the BAC dropped to 40.5 mg/100 ml, the difference of gama wave was 1.12%.

Abstract:
In order to investigate the effects of the Nargis hurricane on the Ayeyarwady Delta in Myanmar, the ISODATA (iterative self-organizing data analysis techniques algorithm) unsupervised classification method and the Bayesian maximum-likelihood supervised-classification method were used to classify the land cover of the study area based on Myanmar ALOS/AVNIR-2 remote sensing data, and the quantitative changes of land cover in the Ayeyarwady Delta before and after the Nargis hurricane were obtained. In addition, the relationships between the Nargis hurricane disaster and the area and density of mangrove forests were investigated quantitatively. The research result shows that a mangrove forest with a large area and high density has a great effect to decrease a hurricane disaster such as the Nargis hurricane disaster.

Abstract:
For accelerating the stabilization of landfill, functional strains were screened and sub-cultured repeatedly with traditional microbiological methods in surroundings. Then the screened strains were grouped and coded from I# to VII# based on the different functions of the strains. The compound flora used to accelerate the stabilization of landfill was constructed by analyzing zymogenic capacities and the effects on stability indices. The results show that the functional strains with stable performance includes 9 cellulose bacteria, 8 COD（chemical oxygen demand) degrading bacteria, and 7 bioflocculant-producing strains. The functional flora coded VII#, composed of all the above strains, has the greatest abilities of generating enzymes, which can improve the biodegradation of refuse effectively and hence accelerate the stabilization of landfill. Compared with those of the control group, the organic biodegradation rates, HP (humic acid percentage), and sedimentation of leachate treated with the flora group coded VII# are increased by 26.23%, 9.18%, and 10.01%, respectively.
