LING Tian-qing, LI Yao-nan, DONG Qiang, ZHAO Mei-ling, ZHENG Zhi-neng, ZHAO Zhi-jie
Abstract: The impact of adding rubber particles on the water stability, wear resistance and other road performances of slurry mixture were compared by using wet track abrasion test, load wheel test and stability and resistance to compaction test.The attenuation characteristics of tyre vertical vibration that happened on micro-surfacing adding rubber particles were studied through tyre-road vibration test device.Test result shows that the workability of slurry mixture is improved by adding rubber particles, the mixing time is prolonged, the early strength decreases by a small margin, and bitumen aggregate ratio is needed to raise by about 1% to achieve the same road performance.When the content of rubber particles is not more than 5%, the requirement of wheel rut deformation on micro-surfacing pavement is met.Comparing with traditional micro-surfacing pavement, the attenuation coefficient of vertical vibration increases by 3%-13% on micro-surfacing pavement adding 2%-5% rubber particles overlayed asphalt pavement, and the attenuation coefficient of vertical vibration increases by 16%-24% on that overlayed cement pavement.More>

WANG Bo, WU Guang-ning, ZHOU Li-jun, DONG An-ping, GAO Guo-qiang, FAN Jian-bin
Abstract: The decreasing degree of rail potential was taken as a standard for evaluating integrated grounding effectiveness.The relationship among rail potential, integrated grounding line impedance and shunt coefficient was analyzed.The integrated grounding effectiveness evaluating system(IGEES) was developed, and the main influence factors of integrated grounding line impedance and shunt coefficient were studied.The theoretical result and measurement result of IGEES were compared.Analysis result shows that rail potential increases with the increasing of integrated grounding line impedance, and decreases with the increasing of shunt coefficient.The material and size of integrated grounding line, soil resistivity and transversal connection interval have great effect on grounding impedance and shunt coefficient, while the effect of buried depth is relatively insignificant.The differences between IGEES results and measurement results of grounding impedance and shunt coefficient are 18%, 5.62% respectively.The calculation error of IGEES is lesser, and IGEES can be used in the design and construction of integrated grounding system on high-speed railway.More>

CHEN Shi-an, ZHANG Shi-jin, HE Ren
Abstract: To settle the seal matters in valve train system, a new preinjection NC air-powered engine was designed, its thermo-dynamics model was proposed.The model was made up of the thermo-flow rate equations of preinjection cylinder & working cylinder and the dynamics equations of the engine.The operating process and efficiency factors of the engine were quantitatively researched by varying parameter dynamic simulation.Simulation result shows that the temperature of preinjection cylinder is close to 383.5 K when air intake ends, so the key control parameter of the engine is the expected control pressure.Under comparative operating conditions, when the effective flowing area of exhaust pipe solenoid valve changes only, its values are 7.854 0×10-5, 1.570 8×10-4, 3.141 6×10-4 m2 respectively, the corresponding efficiencies of the engine are 0.575 8, 0.777 7 and 0.902 2 respectively, so the effective flowing area of exhaust pipe solenoid valve is the key efficiency factor of the engine.More>

Green wave coordinated control optimization models oriented to different bidirectional bandwidth demands
LU Kai, ZHENG Shu-jian, XU Jian-min, LI Lin
Abstract: A new performance index function of green wave coordinated control model was built by introducing bandwidth proration impact factor and bandwidth demand ratio.The green wave coordinated control optimization models oriented to different bidirectional bandwidth demands were proposed for MAXBAND(MULTIBAND) model and general bidirectional green wave coordinated control model respectively.Two cases that bidirectional green wave bandwidths existed or not were considered, and the design effects of different control models were compared.Analysis result indicates that when the coordinated control effect of bidirectional green wave could not be achieved, the optimization model will choose one-way green wave coordination control to guarantee maximum total bandwidth and prorate the bandwidth fully to the direction with higher bandwidth demand.While the coordinated control effect of bidirectional green wave could be achieved, the optimization model will not only guarantee maximum total bandwidth, but also prorate the bandwidth according to the bandwidth demand ratios of different directions.So the models are reasonable and effective.More>
