ZHAO Yong-xiang, YANG Bing, ZHANG Wei-hua

Abstract: For the reasonable-probabilistic safety assessment in entire stress intensity factor range, a probabilistic model was presented for characterizing the random-long fatigue crack propagation rates covering the factor range from threshold to fracture roughness. Based on the rates following lognormal distribution, the effects of the scattering regularity of test data and sampling size on the probabilistic assessment were taken into account, and the survival probability and the confidence were coupled in the model. The parameters of the model were measured by linear regression technique and maximum likelihood method. The model was applied to analyze the test data of LZ50 axle steel about Chinese railway vehicles. The result indicates that the entire random process of long fatigue crack growth from crack initiation to fracture can be mathematically described by the model, the correlation coefficient of the model is maximum compared to Paris, Elber and Forman models.More>

MIAO Ying-hao, HU Zhang-shun, WANG Bing-gang

Abstract: In order to prevent pavement cracking at cut to fill location of subgrade, the treatment mechanism and proper layout of geogrid were studied by 3-D finite element method(FEM), subgrade FEM models with various lengths of geogrid and various number of geogrid layers were built, a model without geogrid was also built for comparison, the vertical displacement, longitudinal stain and stress of pavement surface and geogrid stain and stress were analyzed. Geogrid in subgrade reduces the vertical displacement of pavement surface, scatters the concentrated tensile strain and stress at cut to fill location. The maximum geogrid stress and strain of all models are below 1 MPa and 0.3% respectively. For one layer case and the bottom geogrid for multilayer cases, geogrid stress and strain are decreased gradually from cut to fill side. In the other layers, geogrid stress and strain at cut side near cut to fill location are maximum. It is discovered that geogrid eliminate or postpone the pavement transverse cracking, for one layer case, geogrid should be longer in cut side than in the fill side, the bottom geogrid should be longer in cut side than in fill side, and the others should be laid symmetrically for multilayer cases.More>

REN Gang, WANG Wei

Abstract: To overcome the shortcomings in traditional network-expanding method for handling turn delays in traffic assignment, a turn-based algorithm for Logit traffic assignment was developed with a similar framework of Dial algorithm, which was based on the topological relationships between network element nodes, links and turns. According to the origin-to-link-type shortest path distances with turn delays, all links were processed, turn weights were computed forward, and link flows and turn flows were assigned backward by the algorithm. Computation result shows that the flow assignment of the algorithm is identical to Logit-based path flows and Dial's algorithm data, the algorithm directly computes link flow and turn flow patterns, which not only agrees with Logit route-choice probability, but also counts for the effect of turn delays on traffic assignment, and Dial algorithm is a special case of the algorithm when all turn delays vanish.More>
