Distribution properties of internal air voids in asphalt mixtures

WANG Hai-nian, HAO Pei-wen, LU: Guang-yin

Abstract: X-ray computed tomography(CT) technology was adopted to scan the internal structures of AC-16, SMA-16 and OGFC-16 mixture specimens compacted using Marshall and Superpave gyratory compactor(SGC) methods. Digital image processing technology was adopted to analyze the spatial distribution of their internal air voids. The result shows that the distributions of air voids are not uniform in mixture specimens, and they vary greatly with the compacting styles and gradations of asphalt mixtures. Throughout the specimen height, air void percents are bigger on the top and at the bottom, and are smaller in the middles of the specimens compacted by SGC method, whereas the distribution variances are not marked for the specimens compacted by Marshall method. Throughout the cross sections of the specimens, air voids distribute more in the outside parts than in the middle parts for AC-16 and SMA-16 mixtures. 3 tAbs, 11 figs, 10 refs.More>

HE Zhuo-yu, LUO Shi-hui, LIANG Hai-qing

Abstract: Low-speed maglev train structures and kinematical relationships were analyzed, its dynamics model was developed by using multi-rigid-body dynamics modeling method, the movements of different components of secondary suspension in curve negotiation were analyzed, and the significance of parallelogram mechanism in curve negotiation was explained. Simulation result shows that parallelogram mechanism averagely distributes lateral forces among modules, so that modules are distributed reasonably along the curve. Parallelogram mechanism decreases the lateral and longitudinal forces of air spring, and the yawing angles of modules, which is helpful for curve negotiation and guidance. Speed influences lateral displacement to a certain extent, while the curve radius of the track is the major factor.More>

Torsional-longitudinal coupling vibration stability of drive system for locomotive

YAO Yuan, ZHANG Hong-jun, LUO Yun, JIN Ding-chang

Abstract: In order to investigate the stability of drive system under torsional-longitudinal coupling vibration for locomotive in slippage process, a dynamics model of drive system with single wheelset was set up, the torsional and longitudinal vibration freedoms of the wheelset were taken into account. The nonlinear differential equations of drive system vibration were linearized at the balance point, and its eigenvalues were calculated to judge the stability of the system, whose critical vibration curves were gained. Analysis result shows that the torsional vibration of drive system and the longitudinal vibration of wheelset are self-excited vibrations because of the negative slope of adhesion curve between wheel and rail, and their stabilities depend on wheelset's speed and axle load. The higher the velocity is and the lower the axle load is, the stabler the vibrations are. So the damps of torsional and longitudinal vibrations are able to suppress the unstable vibrations.More>

Effect of traction force on lateral stability of locomotive

SI Dao-lin, WANG Kai-yun, ZHAI Wan-ming, LIU Jian-xin

Abstract: In order to investigate the lateral stability of locomotive under traction condition, a dynamics model of a speed-raising locomotive was put forward by using MBS software SIMPACK. The nonlinear critical speed of locomotive was regarded as the judging index of the lateral stability. The numerical integration method was adopted to calculate the critical speed. The effect of the traction coefficient on the critical speeds was studied, including the speeds on tangent and curved tracks. The result indicates that the traction force influences the value and the direction of wheel/rail creep force greatly. The critical speed increases firstly with the increase of the traction coefficient, and then reduces. The critical speed on curved track is lower than that on tangent track under the same traction coefficient, and the smaller the curve radius is, the lower the critical speed is. It is pointed that the shift of wheelset should not be selected as the judging index of the lateral stability of locomotive, it is reasonable to judge the lateral stability using longitudinal creep force.More>

ZHOU Yu-cai, HE Ren, CHEN Shi-an, GU Bin-bin

Abstract: In oder to decrease the influence of air forces, predigest the multiple-DOF steering dynamics equations of vehicle, air forces were considered, a 3-DOF steering dynamics model was proposed. The state equations of the model was induced, sideslip angle in mass vehicle center, yaw angle, yaw velocity, roll angle and roll velocity were state variables, steering angle in front axle and crosswind force were input variables, sideslip angle in vehicle mass center, yaw angle, yaw velocity, roll angle were output variables. The simulation credibility of the equations was validated by using a test vehicle with an active steering angle pulse. The simulation result with the 3-DOF model and equations was compared with that from 2-DOF steering dynamics model. Comparison result shows that the Absolute values of sideslip angle and yaw velocity from the 3-DOF model and equations are less, which indicates that air forces strengthen the lacking steering property of vehicle. The sideslip values gained by the tow models are larger than the test value, but the value gained by the 3-DOF model is closer to the test value. Obviously, the credibility of the 3-DOF equations is higher.More>

DU Feng, WEI Lang, ZHAO Jian-you

Abstract: In order to improve the safety of vehicle during emergency obstacle avoidance and critical state, sliding mode variable structure control strategy was studied for active four-wheel steering vehicle based on steer-by-wire technology. A variable structure controller was designed for active steering vehicle, the cornering stiffnesses of the front and rear tires and the outer disturbance of an actual vehicle were treated as uncertain parameters, but their variances were in limited ranges, and a certain linearity vehicle model with certain parameters was taken as an ideal following goal. Based on driver-vehicle-road closed loop system, simulation result indicates that four-wheel steering vehicle with variable structure controller can maintain near zero sideslip angle and desired yaw rate, and its path errors are only 0 m and 0.05 m after changing line. Obviously, the controlled vehicle system behaves favorable performance for following path and robustness for uncertainty, its handleability and active safety are improved.More>

Roughness measurement of aggregate surface texture

ZHOU Chun-xiu, CHEN Guo-ming, TAN Yi-qiu

Abstract: In order to effectively evaluate the remarkably influence of the roughness of aggregate surface texture on the pavement performance of asphalt mixture, nine different aggregate surface textures were measured directly by using laser profilometer, then the textures were divided into micro-textures and macro-textures by using profile filter method. Geometry statistical method was adopted to evaluate the roughnesses of the textures quantitatively. The evaluation indexes were arithmetic mean deviation, arithmetic mean wavelength and outline skewness. Evaluation result indicates that arithmetic mean deviation is the most conformable index to describe the roughness of aggregate surface texture. Moreover, with the increase of arithmetic mean deviation, the roughness of aggregate surface texture change larger. Aggregate surface textures are divided into macro-textures and micro-textures according to 2 mm wavelength limit. The roughnesses of aggregate surface textures can be classified into four different grades according to arithmetic mean deviation.More>

ZHAO Yan-qing, PAN You-qiang, TAN Yi-qiu

Abstract: In order to study the effects of gyration compaction number on the design and performance of Superpave mixture, Superpave 20 and Superpave 25 asphalt mixtures were designed by using different gyration compaction numbers (75, 100 and 125), and the various mixtures were evaluated by conducting wheel rutting, low-temperature bending beam, immersion Marshall stability and freeze-thaw split tests, asphalt film thicknesses were calculated, and corresponding field test sections were constructed. Test result shows that the increase of gyration compaction number for Superpave mixture does not necessarily decrease asphalt design content; the increase of gyration number by 25 can improve the dynamic stability of asphalt mixture by approximately 15%~30%. Gyration compaction number has negligible influences on the low-temperature performance and moisture damage susceptibility of asphalt mixtures, and asphalt film thickness increases with the increase of gyration compaction number. When aggregate properties and construction technologies meet the requirements, the field performance of asphalt mixture can be improved by increasing the design gyration compaction numbers.More>

LIU Hua, YE Jian-shu, YU Bo, LI Hai-sheng

Abstract: The load transversal distribution of bridge was confirmed according to the transversal distribution rule of main girder's vertical displacement. The modal parameters of bridge structure, such as natural frequency, modal shape and modal mass, were considered. A modal parameter method of calculating load transversal distribution factor was advanced for all kinds of bridge structure types. A test bridge model made of organic glass and a highway skew T bridge were selected to discuss the applying steps of the method. Computation result shows that the maximal difference between the computation value and the test value is only 2.6%, so the method for calculating the factor is more universal and exact than other traditional methods, and reduces the error resulted from the classification and assumption of bridge structures.More>

LI Shuang-yang, ZHANG Ming-yi, HUANG Zhi-jun, DONG Yuan-hong

Abstract: In order to accurately analyze the thermal and mechanical states of subway tunnel constructed by artificial freezing method, the coupled effects of moisture transfer and phase change of ice and water, the generation of cement hydration heat and thermal creep constitutive relationship were taken into account, and a moisture, thermal and mechanical coupled model was established. The thermal and mechanical states of Guangzhou subway double-line tunnel constructed by artificial freezing method were simulated, and the safety of frozen wall was evaluated by using the long-term strength of frozen soil. Analysis result shows that the maximum principal stress distributes circularly along freezing pipes when the subway tunnel is constructed by artificial freezing method, and the stress around freezing pipes is obviously high. Excavation has little influence on circular stress field, the surface settlement caused by artificial freezing construction doesn't increase with excavation expansion, which is different from other construction methods. The maximum settlement is only 9.1 mm during the whole construction, so the surface settlement can be effectively controlled by artificial freezing method.More>

Scale parameter of discrete choice model based on extreme value distribution

ZHENG Ke, ZHENG Yong

Abstract: In order to understand the role of scale parameter in the process of modeling, analysis and application, multinomial logit model and nested logit model were discussed based on extreme value distribution. Starting with the distribution of error terms, the properties of scale parameter in two models were studied in aspects of model expressions and error term properties, and a comparison analysis was made. Analysis result shows that scale parameter not only restricts the scale of utility function, but also reflects the variance of error terms. However, it reveals different properties at two different models in terms of scale restriction, variance and independence degree of error terms, and numerical areas. For multinomial logit model, the scale parameter reflects the variance of entire error terms, while for nested logit model, it only reflects the variance of a part concerning the observed term for a specific alternative.More>

Abstract: In order to improve the revenue management capability of transport network system, the problem of network capacity control in strategies, models and methods was studied systematically under the background of airline network, three kinds of network control strategies were discussed such as partition booking limits, virtual nesting control and bid price control. Traditional network models and new sophisticated models were analyzed, and the new models were classified as stochastic dynamic program model, hybrid model, stochastic dynamic program model with multiple stages, and Scenario tree model. The approaches based on resources decomposition were studied. It was pointed that for constructing the network strategy, both the principle of decomposition and the single-leg capacity control model should be jointly considered. Analysis result indicates that the models and approaches of network capacity control must be efficiently combined with correct control strategies to achieve the maximum expected total revenue. 31 refs.More>
