This paper summarized main research methods of the wheel/rail fatigue damage. It was noted that the simulation experiment had became an import...
Abstract: The application and development of urban rubber-tyred self-steering trams across the world are reviewed. Taking as examples the typical rubber-tired Translohr tram in France, the straddle monorail vehicle in Chongqing, China, the suspended monorail vehicle SAFEGE in Chiba, Japan and the rubber-tired...
Abstract: In order to explore the characteristics of geological hazards induced by earthquake, the discontinuous deformation analysis (DDA) was used to simulate the failure processes of rock collapses, landslides, and breakwaters under the earthquake loading. Particularly, the influence of the earthquake load...
Abstract: In order to study the macro-dynamic behavior of mountain systems, a view point was proposed by Davis's theory of the erosion cycle that valleys in late childhood or mountains in middle adulthood have intrinsic properties of self-organized criticality(SOC). Based on Strahler's integral, a method for ...
Abstract: After the Wenchuan earthquake on May 12, 2008, some initial treatments, such as silt dams and drainage ditches which were built in debris flow gullies in the earthquake area for debris control, showed a poor performance and went into a failure condition because of the underestimated launch quantity ...
Abstract: To study the wind field characteristics in bridge site under the influence of Y-shaped river junction in mountainous areas, a long-span suspension bridge built over a deep-cutting gorge near a Y-shaped river junction is regarded as a typical example and a numerical model for the wind field distribut...
Abstract: To obtain the wind characteristics in mountainous area, the wind field measurement at Puli Great Bridge site was conducted. A data collection system for high-frequency wind speed based on wireless transmission was developed. The mean wind characteristic was analyzed. The non-stationarity and non-gau...

Abstract: To realize the railway location design with 3D entity in a vivid 3D geographic environment, the digital railway location design system based on virtual geographic environment was developed.Integrating space information technology, digital photography measurement technology, geographic remote sensing...
Abstract: To compare the rail noise levels with different substructures, a sound-solid coupling model was established using FEM-based ABAQUS software to simulate noise changes in the sound field generated from structural vibration. Sound pressure values were selected from the sound field and transformed to so...
Abstract: To accomplish a GNSS (global navigation satellite system) ground-based augmentation system, a high-precision location based service (LBS) platform using augmentation reference station network (ARSNet) was developed independently. The ARSNet was tested in comparison with the international representat...
Abstract: As the consequences of climate changes and human activities, precise modeling of landslide hazards in complicated topographical and geological environments has become a serious problem in the world. The cruxes of simulation of the landslides lie in the high mutability and dynamism of the spatial-tem...
