Abstract:
In order to found the datum plane of measurement of railway track geometrical parameters, a method to found the datum plane based on the strapdown inertial technique was researched to overcome the shortcomings of the traditional gyro platform. By analyzing the basic cant measurement principle, it was pointed out that attitude matrix calculation with a high accuracy is the key to the measurement of railway track geometrical parameters based on the strapdown inertial technique. Therefore, corresponding attitude, position and velocity differential equations for a train were founded based on the motion theory of rigid body. With a method based on rotary vector and quaternion, the calculations of attitude, position and velocity were analyzed and studied, and the multiple-sample algorithms were utilized to compensate for coning motion errors in attitude calculation and sculling errors in velocity calculation. The simulation results show that the multiple-sample algorithms are able to strongly decrease the accumulative errors with time in an inertial measurement system and improve the accuracy of a measurement system.

Abstract:
In order to probe into the transmission mechanism of braking force on continuous welded rail (CWR) on a large-span steel truss cable-stayed bridge, a plane model for bridge-rail interaction was established based on the finite element method and the bridge-rail interaction theory. In this model, all structural characteristics, such as steel truss, stay cables, main towers, and viscous dampers, are involved. The influences of stay cable stiffness, main tower stiffness and viscous dampers on the braking force were analyzed, and a simplified algorithm for the braking force was proposed. The results show that braking force can meet the demands of paving CWR on cable-stayed bridges, and its distribution regularity is the same as that on conventional bridges; viscous dampers improve the bridge-rail interaction in train braking situation by reducing bridge-rail relative displacement and braking force; compared with the stiffness of main towers, the stiffness of stay cables has a great influence on the braking force, so it should be taken into account in CWR design of a cable-stayed bridge.

Abstract:
In order to research the dynamic stability performances of long-span CFST (concrete-filled steel tubular) arch bridges under the action of near-fault ground motions, an arch bridge with a 132 m main span was taken as the engineering background, and seismic records of the Chi-Chi earthquake in Taiwan, China were set as transverse inputs. The incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) was adopted to determine the critical load of dynamic instability. To increase the efficiency of IDA, the parallel high-performance numerical computing was employed. In addition, the problem of strengthening IDA curve cluster convergence was discussed. The research result shows that near-fault pulse-like ground motions are likely to bring about a great damage and result in nonlinear dynamical limit-load instability, and the corresponding critical load is decreased evidently. Weighted average peak ground acceleration, an new intensity measure, can make the discreteness of IDA curve cluster be improved significantly to avail to reveal the dynamic instability characteristics of CFST arch bridges caused by near-fault ground motions.

Abstract:
The hydrodynamic pressure caused by inner water and outer water of thin-walled hollow piers under earthquake has an effect on the dynamic response of continuous rigid-framed bridges. In order to investigate the effect, a calculation model for the continuous rigid-framed part of Miaoziping Minjiang bridge, which is based on the finite element theory of fluid structure-interaction, was built by using ANSYS Fluid30 element to simulate water. The seismic response of the bridge was calculated by taking into account the gravity, longitudinal prestress, hydrodynamic pressure, and earthquake waves recorded by the nearest seismic station. The results show that hydrodynamic pressure has little influence on natural frequencies and mode shapes of the continuous rigid-framed bridge, and the maximum reduction rate of the first 30 natural frequencies is approximately 8%, increments of transverse displacement peaks of the box girder reach 10%-20%, the maximum increment of internal force peaks of the main piers reaches 170%, and this value is about 75% for the box girder; and, the earthquake wave acceleration and water depth are the important factors influencing the hydrodynamic pressure.

PDF 1069KB(494)

Abstract:
Experiment and finite element analysis (FEA) were conducted on the orthotropic steel decks of two single plane cable-stayed bridges in Chongqing municipality, China, to verify the fatigue design parameters. A full scale specimen with the actual connection details of the longitudinal ribs, crossbeams and deck plates was used for fatigue test. Vertical and horizontal fatigue loads were applied to the specimen under equivalent applied stresses for 20 million cycles. FEA was done to extend the ranges of design parameters verified by fatigue tests, such as cutout shape (apple-shaped,key-shaped and circular), and thicknesses of plates and deck pavement. The experimental and FEA results shown that the crossbeam and pavement thickness played a significant role on fatigue performances of the orthotropic steel decks. The principal tension stress (13.7 MPa) near the apple-shaped cutout was the smallest compared with those near the key-shaped and circular cutouts, so that the apple-shaped cutout was the best in terms of fatigue performances. The plate at least 16 mm thick and the apple-shaped cutout were recommended for the crossbeam of the orthotropic steel decks.

Abstract:
A quantitative assessment method of debris flow hazard to roads in Wenchuan earthquake areas was established based on the case study of Xiaojia ravine to assess serious debris flow disasters happening frequently in 3 years after the Wenchuan earthquake. The environmental and geology background and the basic parameters such as the area and gradient of Xiaojia ravine were anglicized through a field investigation and using the RS and GIS technologies. The total amount of once debris flow process calculated by the rain-storm and flood method and the method of completing the square was taken as the pile quantities. Pile scope parameters, including average pile thickness, length and width, were estimated by a regression expression derived from field investigation data. Then the damage degree of debris flow to the roads beside Yuzi river was calculated quantitatively by the geometric generalization method. The research shows that the total amount of once debris flow process is 41104 m3 under rainfall that occurs once every 50 years, the roads will be completely buried and the river blocked by the debris flow. The above results are basically coincident with the actual hazard situation.

Abstract:
For parameter design of switching DC-DC converters, dynamic equations and a discrete mapping model of valley current controlled flyback converter were established, and its complex nonlinear dynamic behaviors were investigated using bifurcation diagram and Poincar map.

PDF 824KB(580)

Abstract:
In order to probe into the pollution characters of the surface of an insulator used in high-speed railway, forces on polluted particles in a strong wind environment were analyzed, and a simulation model for pollution of QBJ-25/20 type bar insulator was established. By taking the pollution volume fraction of insulator shed as the index of pollution measure, the relationships between the volume fraction and wind velocity and wind coming angle were obtained. The research result shows that in a strong wind condition there is a negative exponential relationship between the volume fraction and the coming angle, and there exists the same rerelationship between the volume fraction and the wind velocity. The pollution on the upper surface of the shed is mainly influenced by the coming angle ranging from 0 to 90, while the pollution on the lower surface of the shed is seriously affected by the wind velocity. With the increase of polluted particles' diameters, the volume fraction shows a trend of first increase and then decrease.

Abstract:
In order to study the effects of random errors caused by vehicle modeling on interconnected large-scale systems like the automated highway vehicle system, the deterministic theory was extended to the random case theory, and a proper vector Lyapunov function was constructed using the matrix theory and the random case theory. By analyzing the stability of stochastic differential inequalities, a coefficient matrix of the random large-scale system and the solutions of the Lyapunov matrix function interconnected with large-scale system are used to construct a judgment matrix, and then obtain the sufficiency criterion for global exponential stability of the large-scale system: when the judgment matrix is a quasi-M-matrix, the global index of the large-scale system is stable. Simulation results show that the algorithm proposed in the paper has a rapid convergence rate, and the system can achieve stability in 20 s.

[Abstract](1747)

PDF 676KB(366)

Abstract:
In order to realize the integrity authentication of audio files, a content-based fragile watermarking algorithm was proposed. To an one-dimensional sequence, the modification of alternating coefficient in DCT (discrete cosine transformation) will not change the sum of the sequence. Based on this property, an audio signal is segmented into frames. Then, samples are partitioned into sections for each frame. After absolute value of the sum of all samples in each section is computed, all absolute values are added in a frame. The result is quantized as a feature of the frame, and the quantization result is converted to a binary sequence as watermark. The watermark bits are embedded by modifying low frequency coefficient in DCT of each section with the quantization index modulation (QIM) method. Experimental results show that the fragile watermarking algorithm maintains good perceptual quality, the SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) values of watermarked audios are about 80 dB, and the algorithm is sensitive against additive noise, bit resolution transformation, sampling rate change, low-pass filtering and MP3 compression. Furthermore, it can detect and localize the tampered regions effectively.

Abstract:
In order to increase the display data output rate with the same system cost, an LED display control system based on multiport serial flash was proposed through analyzing the cell boards of the existing bar LED display panels. The system consists of high-speed 1T MCU (micro control unit) of STC12C5616 and multiport serial flash of SST26VF016B with serial peripheral interface (SPI). Based on the SPI high-speed clock of the MCU, the display data in the multi-port serial flash memory is directly sent to a superlong bar LED display panel by the way of direct memory access (DMA). Finally, by taking a 4 09664 monochromatic dot-matrix LED display as an example, the proposed control system was tested. The tested result shows that the display refresh rate is up to 62.5 Hz, and the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed system are validated.

[Abstract](1503)

PDF 897KB(614)

Abstract:
To improve the robustness and accuracy of vehicle detection, a new detection method of moving vehicles was put forward based on background subtraction and wavelet decomposition modulus history images. First, wavelet decomposition was performed on the original image. In low frequency component, the Gaussian mixture model was used in conjunction with textural features to adaptively update the background image and label initial regions of moving objects. The high frequency component was used to calculate modulus value and obtain modulus history image through history frame accumulation. In view of the fact that vehicle objects have richer edge details than shadow regions, the edges were projected to x and y axes after object slant correction. Using the projection curves, the edge information was iteratively integrated with initial object regions to get final detection results. Experiment results show that compared with commonly used adaptive background extraction methods, the proposed method could detect vehicle objects accurately in practical traffic applications with a capture rate of 99.0% and an effective rate of 92.5%, and could effectively process the object conglutination caused by shadow with higher accuracy.

PDF 927KB(305)

Abstract:
In order to manage and reuse triangular mesh models with local shapes, a segmenting method for triangular mesh models based on spherical images was proposed.

To make full use of the adhesion force between wheels and tracks and guarantee the train traction/brake performances, a re-adhesion optimization control strategy based on full-dimension state observer was proposed. When detecting slip/slide phenomena, this method could realize the optimal adhesion utilization by searching the adhesion summit zone quickly and adjusting the given torque dynamically according to the calculated AC motor torque and rotor angular velocity. The closed-loop poles assignment was introduced to ensure the control system stability and dynamic response performance. The proposed control strategy was simulated through a MATLAB/Simulink model and then verified by field experiments. The experimental results show that the whole re-adhesion efficiency using the proposed control strategy is greater than 80%, which meets the metro traction demands.

PDF 678KB(345)

Abstract:
In order to study the handing stability of vehicles with five-link dependent rear suspension, a linear three-degrees-of-freedom handling model of the vehicle including rear axle compliance steering was established. The influences of the rear axle compliance steering on the vehicle under-steering characteristics were analyzed by the frequency domain method.

When the intersection point is located 1.65 m from the rear axle and the bush bending stiffness is 1.5 kNm/rad, the vehicle under-steering performance is optimal. The simulation results of the theoretical model agree well with the experimental ones.

PDF 585KB(387)

Abstract:
In order to evaluate the coordination relationship between railway transportation system and open-pit production, a coupling degree model is established under the capacity-coupling theory. This model quantitatively analyzes the coordination level of mine production and transportation systems as well as the effects of subsystems and system parameters on the whole open-pit mining system. Besides, the indices of open-pit mining and haulage equipments, the parameters choice of wagon quantity, load and fluctuation in railway transportation are discussed, and an isometric transformation is applied using an improved efficacy method. Finally, a case study is conducted to verify the model ability in reflecting the real productivity. The results show that compared with expectation, a lower daily average number of wagons has a larger effect on the system coordination level, with only 20% contribution ratio of the minimum value of other indexes; however, the unbalanced factor of trains has a smaller effect on the system coordination. Moreover, the coupling index will be raised by 17% if the daily average number of wagons is increased to 80% of the original plan.

PDF 740KB(335)

Abstract:
In order to provide a rational dynamic load coefficient for airport rigid pavement design and reduce the workload of the pavement dynamic load test, the software ADAMS was used to analyze the dynamic response mechanisms of the vertical load, longitudinal load, and lateral load on the pavement. The loading sensitivity of the pavement was analyzed by independently varying pitch angle, roll angle, initial descending rate, and initial ground clearance. In addition, different roughness levels of pavements were generated by the white noise linear filtering method to study the effect of roughness level on the dynamic load response of pavements. The results show that when the initial descending speed increases from 0 to 3 m/s, the dynamic load coefficient increases from 0.677 to 1.623; the horizontal load during aircraft landing is mainly in the longitudinal direction; and the peak value of aircraft dynamic load on level H pavement increases 68.71% than level A pavement.

[Abstract](1380)

PDF 811KB(453)

Abstract:
In order to overcome the disadvantages of long computing time and unstable result of traditional evolutionary algorithms in solving the optimization for large flexible job-shop problems (FJSPs), a heuristic critical path approach (HCPA) was proposed. This method first uses a heuristic rule to get some preliminary schedules. Then, critical workpieces and key process of these preliminary schedules are searched and critical paths are locally adjusted using some heuristic rules for better solutions. Finally, the optimal schedule of FJSP is obtained by comparison among these solutions. The proposed approach was applied to benchmark FJSPs, and the solutions were compared with those of other approaches. The results show that for the 1510 FJSP, the values of evaluation indexes computed by the proposed method are nearly the same as those by the integrated genetic algorithm, but the computing time (only 3.2 s) is reduced by 42%. The large FJSPs of 2310 and 2510 are also calculated, reflecting that introduction of heuristic rules can improve the computing efficiency and solution stability; compared with the traditional evolutionary algorithms, the proposed method is more suitable for real-time solution of difficult FJSPs.

PDF 1126KB(459)

Abstract:
In order to accurately describe travelers' route choice behaviors for avoiding risks caused by uncertainties about travel time in a stochastic road network, the calculation formula of mean-excess travel time was derived for conditions when the traffic demand of commuters follows a log-normal distribution and the link capacity follows a Beta distribution, and a stochastic mean-excess user equilibrium model with multiple classes and elastic demand was built and formulated as an equivalent variational inequality. In the model, travelers' perception errors on travel time and the effects on traffic demand caused by the road network service level were taken into account. The results show that, as the demand variation level and degradation degree of link capacity increase, when the ratio of variance to mean increases from 0.5 to 2.0 and the parameters (l, m) of Beta distribution change from (90,10) to (10,10), the average minimum perceived mean-excess travel time increases 48.5% for commuters and 99.2% for non-commuters.

Abstract:
In order to attain a rapid response to customers' individualized needs in market segments, a process model of product family evolutionary design was established according to the biological evolutionism. Based on the definitions of product genes and product allelic genes, a new four-layer product family genetic structure was built. In addition, product family fitness models in two dimensions, i.e., customer needs in marketplace and production efficiency in design and manufacture environment, were constructed by quantitative analysis of customer needs in market and the production efficiency. Meanwhile, a multi-directional evolution algorithm that supports the whole product family evolution was proposed. Taking a car product family design for example, simulation results of the product family evolutionary process show that after 20 generations, the product family develops into the optimal solution which meets the needs in small, compact and medium car market segments and has high product efficiency. Therefore, the method proposed for product family evolutionary design can effectively meet customers' individualized needs in market segments.

Abstract:
In order to overcome the drawbacks of traditional methods in landfill treatment, such as slow degradation of organic waste, long-lasting stabilization, and complicated operation and management, a new bioaugmentation technology was proposed to accelerate the stabilization of landfill processing. Through indoor simulation experiments, a composite microbial system was introduced, and its influences on the landfill waste stabilization of bioreactor landfill was studied. The results show that the multifunctional microbe community accelerated the biodegradation of organic waste: A landfill temperature rise of 0.8-5.0 ℃ was observed in the landfill during the early and mid stages, and the pH value in landfill increased rapidly over 8.0 and became stable 208 days earlier than the control. Moreover, compared with the control group, the composite microbial system in the experimental group reduced the COD (chemical oxygen demand) concentration of leachate more obviously, which remained at about 3 000 mg/L after 505 days of anaerobic landfilling. The concentration of ammonia nitrogen decreased more rapidly, keeping lower than the control after 463 days, and reaching the level below 25 mg/L after 700 days, which meet discharge requirements of ammonia nitrogen in leachate specified by the National Standard for Pollution Control on the Landfill Site of Municipal Solid Waste (GB 168892008). The composite microbial system also increased the deposition capability as much as by 27.39%, 19.23% and 14.81% when compared with the control group at the early, mid, and end stages of landfill processing, respectively.
