WU Hao, ZHANG Jiu-peng, WANG Bing-gang
Abstract: Three Marshall specimens of OGFC-13 with different gradations were selected, and their internal void distributions were obtained by using X-CT technique and digital graphic processing technique.The fractal characteristics of voids were computed by fractal theory, and the relationship between the void characteristics and the road performances for porous asphalt mixtures were analyzed.It is indicated that the split strength of porous asphalt mixture decreases with the increase of porosity, but increases with the increase of the fractal dimension of void profile.The permeation property increases with the increase of porosity, but decreases with the increase of the fractal dimension of void profile.The fractal dimension can explain the reason of the road performance difference for the mixtures with same porosity, so the fractal dimension may be adopted to analyze the void distribution and the changing law of road performance for porous asphalt mixture.More>

DUN Xiao, CEN Guo-ping, HUANG Can-hua, ZHOU Qi, JIANG Jian-wen, YANG Xin
Abstract: In order to research the evaluation indices of freezing-thawing destruction for airfield runway concrete in north cold area of China, three concrete examples with anti-freezing capability were made, and their freezing-thawing devastating experiment was done by rapid freezing experimental machine. Their dynamic moduli of elasticity were measured by DT-10W, and the changing rules of relative dynamic moduli of elasticity, flexural strength losses, concrete mass losses and surface scale-offs under different freezing-thawing cycles were analyzed.The critical value of freezing-thawing destruction was presented for airfield runway concrete. Experimental result indicates that as freezing-thawing cycles accumulate, the compressive and flexural strengthes decline at different rates for the samples, of which the flexural strengthes lose more faster.The surface scaling areas and depthes of concretes become serious and mass losses have severe influence on the surface smoothnesses of the samples. According to the rules, the evaluation indices are put forward after 300 freezing-thawing cycles, which is that relative dynamic modulus of elasticity is less than 75% (flexural strength loss ratio is not more than 46%) and mass loss ratio is less than 1.0% (moderate surface scale-off).More>

LI Wei, KANG Hai-gui
Abstract: The fuzzy interval of limit state variable near its zero value was considered, ana a moael of fuzzy-random reliability analysis of slope stability was put forward. The influences of width fraction and migration fraction on the fuzzy reliability index of slope stability were studied in different situations including the variability of common soil parameters and the membership function distribution of fuzzy failure probability. Analysis result indicates that the slope of migration fraction and fuzzy reliability index curve decreases with the decrease of width fraction, which is irrelated to the variability and the distribution. For a certainty value of width fraction, the fuzzy reliability index decreases with the increase of migration fraction. The increase of the variability of soil parameters results in the decrease of the index. 3 tabs, 4 figs, 7 refs.More>

DING Jun-jun, LI Fu
Abstract: The power spectrum density of track irregularity was transformed to time-domain irregularity by inverse Fourier transform, and the correlation of various irregularities of America center line was analyzed. The relation between center line and left/right rail irregularities was used to transform the center line irregularity to the irregularities of left and right rails, and the rail/wheel interaction force response was computed by the simulation of vehicle system dynamics. The one side irregularities of America five grade railway and Chinese main line was compared.Analysis result indicates that all correlation coefficients among the center line irregularities are less than 0.3, they are low correlative and are considered independent of each other. All correlation coefficients of wheel/rail responses between the center line and left/right rail irregularities were more than 0.8, they are high correlative, so the equivalency transform is right.The one side power spectrum density of America five grade railway is higher than that of the Chinese main line in low frequency and is less in high frequency.More>

Flexural vibration suppression of car body for high-speed passenger car based on constrained damping layers
HUANG Cai-hong, CENG Jing
Abstract: In order to reduce car body elastic vibration, a mathematical model of the vertical vibration for high-speed railway passenger car based on rigid-flexible coupling system was established, in which car body was modelled as a simple uniform elastic Euler beam with free ends.Based on the amplitude-frequency characteristic analysis, the natural frequencies of vehicle system's components and the effect of loss factors on car body elastic vibration were researched. Constrained damping layers were partially pasted on the outside sheathing of car body, and the formulae of modal loss factors were derived through reasonable assumptions. Numerical calculation result illustrates that the first bending vibration mode of car body occurs near the frequency region where riding comfort is most affected. Consequently, it is important to suppress the vibration firstly. Good riding comfort can be achieved by increasing the loss factors of car body. Constrained damping layers treatment can increase car body structure's loss factors.In order to obtain the maximum loss factors, constrained damping layers should be struck on the place with largest car body flexural deformation, and there exists optimum length and thickness of every damping layer. Good damping effect of the vibration and good riding comfort of high-speed railway passenger car can be obtained by choosing appropriate characteristics of damping layers.More>

YUE Dong-peng, WANG Jie, ZHANG Jun-zhi
Abstract: For improving shifting quality of hybrid electric vehicle(HEV) with automated manual transmission(AMT), an integrated gear shifting control method was introduced.Five measures of improving vehicle's accelerating performance were provided to optimize shifting control strategies. A shifting simulation model was established on the platform of Matlab/Simulink, and the simulation of integrated gear shifting control was performed. The result shows that the model is capable of simulating the gear shifting process under various state-switches. The time of power break-up is only 1.2 s in the gear shifting process from gear Ⅰ to gear Ⅱ, so the method ensures power smooth transfer.The accelerating time of 0~100 km·h-1 is improved from 14.82 s to 12.39 s, so the measures are effective.More>

SONG Nian-xiu, SU Jian, WANG Dong-jie, LIU Hong-fei, LIANG Cheng-jiang, LI Shi-wu
Abstract: In order to study the effect of braking condition on the stability of tractor-semitrailer running on curve, a whole vehicle model of tractor-semitrailer with 21 degrees of freedom was established by using dynamics theory and virtual prototype simulation software ADAMS. The change relations of folding angle, lateral acceleration, yaw angle velocity, vehicle speed, wheel speed and tire side-slip angle with time were analyzed when tractor-semitrailer ran on curve under the ultimate condition. Through the whole vehicle test of stable steering and step, the simulation accuracy of the model was verified. Simulation result shows that when tractor-semitrailer brakes after 3 s of turning, in 3 s, tractor's lateral acceleration becomes 0, yaw angle velocity reaches extreme value 33 rad·s-1, then decreases rapidly.While trailer's lateral acceleration reaches extreme value 4 m·s-2, and yaw angle velocity gradually decreases to 0. In the braking process on curve, tractor's rear axle first locks and slips, thus the folding phenomenon of tractor-semitrailer probably happens, which leads to the reduction of braking stability.More>

Abstract: The structures of different kinds of ORVR(on-board refueling vapor recovery) systems were analyzed.Aiming at the systems with pressure control valve or not, tow mathematical models of mechanical and liquid seal ORVR systems were established by using mass transfer principle. The comparison between model simulation result and experiment data shows that the quantity of refueling emission for car with ORVR decreases by 97% compared with that of car with activated carbon canister.Because the inlet of filling pipe is entirely sealed, the refueling emission of car with mechanical ORVR system reduces by 37% compared with liquid seal ORVR system.When pressure control valve is installed in the ORVR system, the refueling emission of car reduces by 8%. Obviously, the ORVR technique can be used to effectively control the refueling emission of car and to reduce environmental pollution.More>
