Mi Cai-ying, An Qi, Li Fu
Abstract: Wheel and axle box were simplified to collective quality and inertia of moment, non-uniform axle shaft was simulated by using continuous elastic Timoshenko beam, an elastic wheelset/rail coupling vertical dynamics model was set up, and the relationships between the dynamic stiffness of axle shaft and wheel/track dynamic force, the vibratory characteristics and dynamic stress of axle shaft were analyzed. It is pointed that when the first natural frequency of wheelset reduces from 76.34 Hz to 53.68 Hz and the second natural frequency reduces from 130.03 Hz to 100.02 Hz, the first mode vibration acceleration and elastic vibration displacement of axle shaft increases by 60.12% and 92.91% respectively, wheel/track dynamic force increases by 6.23%, the dynamic stresses on the dangerous section inside wheel seat and on axle neck respectively increase by 39.30% and 34.13%. Analysis result shows that the dynamic force of wheelset and the dynamic stress of axle shaft increase with the dynamic stiffness decrease of axle shaft, so raising the dynamic stiffness of light wheelset can ensure the running safety of high-speed train and enhance the fatigue intensity of axle shaft.More>

Zhou Dan, Tian Hong-qi, Lu Zhai-jun
Abstract: In order to improve the running stability of passenger train in strong crosswind, its running condition on embankment while suffering from strong crosswind was simulated by using 3-D unsteady N-S equations and dynamic mesh technique, the relationships between aerodynamic force and train speed, crosswind speed and embankment tallness, and simulation result was compared with tunnel test result. It is found that their results are accordant, aerodynamic side force increases large with the increase of embankment height when embankment height is less than 20.00 m, but it decreases with the increase of embankment height when embankment height is larger than 20.00 m; aerodynamic force and overturning moment rapidly increase with the speed increase of crosswind when the running speed of passenger train is certain; in the condition that the speed of crosswind is certain, aerodynamic force, lift force and overturning moment increase less when train speed change from 60 km·h-1 to 120 km·h-1.More>

Abstract: In order to comprehend the occurring and growing mechanism of track settlement, ballast bed settlement was regarded as study object, and the effects of transportation conditions and track structure parameters on ballast settlement were analyzed by using simulation analysis program based on vehicle-track coupling dynamics and track settlement laws. Analysis result shows that vehicle running speed, vehicle axle load and railway traffic are main control factors of track settlement; it benefits to decrease ballast settlement by adopting heavy rail, big size sleeper and high density ballast; big sleeper space and high ballast elastic modulus are disadvantageous to control ballast settlement; the effect of subgrade modulus K30 is complex, ballast settlement increases with the increase of K30 when K30 is less than 90 MPa·m-1, ballast settlement reduces with the increase of K30 when K30 is more than 90 MPa·m-1. Obviously, in order to decrease track settlement, it is important to match track structure parameters and arrange transportation reasonably.More>

Bu Ren-xiang, Liu Zheng-jiang, Hu Jiang-qiang
Abstract: In order to accurately control typical berthing steering, a dynamic output feedback controller was designed for the automatic berthing of underactuated surface ship with nonholonomic acceleration constraints. The control problems of path planning and following were transformed into the static control problem of scalar zero-order-systems by means of iterative sliding mode control (ISMC), in which nonlinear sliding surfaces were recursively and iteratively designed in augmented state space. Integrating with increment feedback, the controller was proved to stabilize ship's motion in typical berthing steering without estimating systemic uncertainties and the disturbances resulted from current and wind. Numerical simulation result shows that the controller is strongly robust to the variation of the disturbances, and ship's planar trajectory is adjusted by using only one variable due to its simple design procedure.More>

Luo Hui, Zhu Hong-ping, Hao Xing-zhou
Abstract: In order to optimize the structural design of asphalt pavement, non-reflective boundary was introduced, structural dynamics theory was adopted, its dynamic responses under moving loads were analyzed by using finite element method.
