JI Jie, SHI Yue-feng, SUO Zhi, YAO Hui, XU Shi-fa

Abstract: SK-90 was taken as base asphalt, filler-asphalt ratio was 1.0, the direct coal liquefaction residue(DCLR)modified asphalt mortars with the DCLR contents as 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and SK-90 asphalt mortar were produced respectively.The influences of DCLR on asphalt mortar rut factor, fatigue factor, creep stiffness modulus and creep rate were compared by dynamic shear rheometer(DSR)and bending beam rheometer(BBR)tests.The influence rule of DCLR on the viscoelastic properties of asphalt mortar was analyzed.Test result indicates that DCLR can significantly improve the high-temperature properties of asphalt mortar, reduce its lowtemperature and fatigue properties.DCLR also increases the elastic properties of asphalt mortar at high temperature and the viscous properties at low temperature.The high-temperature, lowtemperature and fatigue properties of asphalt mortar with high DCLR content are very sensitive to temperature.With the increase of DCLR content, the application scopes of asphalt and asphaltmortar become more and more narrow.Therefore, in the view of application, the content of DCLR is recommended to be less than 10%, and the asphalt and asphalt mortar can be applied for middle surface layer of asphalt pavement.More>

DAN Jing-song, LI Hui, JIANG Han-guan

Abstract: In order to improve the sizes and vertical interlocking ability of interlocking concrete block for traditional pavement, the larger-size interlocking concrete block with rabbet joint was developed, and its mechanical characteristics were studied. The finite element model of interlocking concrete block pavement was set up, the load transfer efficiency between interlocking concrete blocks was simulated by using spring element, and the influences of block sizes, load transfer ability, thickness of granular base and subgrade strength on permanent settlement and vertical strain at the top of subgrade were analyzed.The permanent deformation of subgrade was adopted as control index, and the relationship between normative accumulated axle-load acting number and vertical strain at the top of subgrade was established.Computation result shows that based on the same conditions of base and subgrade, when block sizes increase from 30cm×20cm to 50cm×30cm, pavement deflection decreases by 25%-30%, and subgrade strain decreases by 25%-45%.When the elastic coefficient of rabbet joint increases from 102 N·m^-1 to 108 N·m^-1, pavement defection decreases by 50%-55%, and subgrade strain decreases by 65%-75%.So the larger-size block with stronger load transfer ability can greatly improve the mechanical characteristics of pavement.In pavement design, the stain level at the top of subgrade can be determined according to the traffic condition of road, based on which the thickness of base layer and the sizes of interlocking concrete block are reasonably designed so that the stain level meets the requirement.More>

ZHAO Fang-ran, DU Shi-mei, LIU Xin-chen, AN Wen-bo, XU Xiao-lei

Abstract: Hot air de-icing and chemical de-icing with ethylene glycol and carbamide were simulated for cement concrete pavement of airfield, the mass loss and strength decrease ratio of each concrete specimen were tested, and the the damage rules of de-icing methods and de-icing numbers on cement concrete pavement were analyzed.Analysis result shows that hot air de-icing slowly damages cement concrete specimen, the distinct mass loss only appears after 45 times hot de-icing, but hot air de-icing severely damages the inside structure, and the strength decrease ratio is more than 35% after 50 times hot air de-icing.Though the strength decrease ratio of cement concrete specimen is less than 20% after 50 times chemical de-icing, but the corrosive mass loss of specimen surface is remarkable, and is 8.5%after 50 times carbamide de-icing and is5 times greater than the value after hot air de-icing.Therefore, chemical de-icing is more reasonable than hot air de-icing for protecting the structural strength of cement concrete pavement.On the other hand, hot air de-icing is preferred because of considering aeroengine damage induced by concrete spall on airfield runway, but its influence on pavement structural strength should be paid attention to.More>

GUAN Bo-wen, LI Shuo, JIANG Yi, ZHAO Guang-yuan, CHEN Shuan-fa

Abstract: In order to evaluate the application effect of line of sight(LOS)sound barrier in the areas with less excessive noise level and fewer households, the noise monitoring and traffic noise model(TNM)analysis at the highway I-465 with LOS sound barrier in Indiana, USA have been done.The influences of pavement type, vehicle speed, traffic volume, noise reduction coefficient, height and extended length of sound barrier on noise reduction level of LOS sound barrier were analyzed, the application effect of LOS sound barrier was evaluated, and the key design parameters were proposed.Analysis result shows that LOS sound barrier can be applied in the areas with less excessive noise level and fewer households.The influence of pavement type on noise reduction is significant.If cement concrete pavement(CCP)is replaced by dense-graded asphalt concrete pavement(DGACP)or open-graded asphalt concrete pavement(OGACP), the range and effective rate of noise reduction can be improved significantly.It is not effective toreduce traffic noise by lowering speed limits, therefore, it is not recommended.For designing LOS sound barrier, the design noise reduction range should be above 6.7dBA, the minimum barrier height should be tall enough to block the view of large vehicle and the maximum barrier height is 6.6m, the optimum height of LOS sound barrier in design year should be determined by traffic noise model analysis.More>

LIU Ni-na, LIU Jun-tao, HUANG Qiang-bing, HAN Dong-dong, Rifat BULUT

Abstract: Earthquake load and site settlement near ground fissures were simulated by shaking table model test.The dynamic responses were studied in sectional metro tunnel with flexible joints passing through active ground fissures.The characterises of uneven settlements, crack development, tunnel accelerations, earth pressures and sectional tunnel strains were studied.Analysis result shows that the site cracks and uneven settlement resulted from the coupling load of site settlement and earthquake load mainly distribute around flexible joints.Each part movement of tunnel with flexible joints is independent.The tunnel located in hanging wall has3.2times peak acceleration of the value in foot wall.The soil pressures near the ground fissure are larger.The soil pressure in hanging wall is 6.7times of the value in foot wall under the coupling load.The strains at the middle of tunnel arch are bigger, the strains at the bottom of thefloor are secondary, and the strains on the top of the arch are less.The strain rate of each section decreases because flexible joints are designed in metro tunnel, and the strains increase little near the ground fissures.The result indicates that the flexible joints can decrease the site deformation and stress concentration of metro tunnel in ground fissure area under the coupling load of site settlement and earthquake load.More>

Vehicle dynamic performance under steel spring failure conditions

LIU Guo-yun, CENG Jing

Abstract: Four failure cases of axlebox steel spring for one side of leading wheelset were considered, namely: the inner and outer rings of steel spring both fractured; just the outer ring fractured; just the inner ring fractured; the whole spring frozen.Then vehicle dynamics model considering the failure cases was set up, and the influence of spring failure on vehicle dynamics performance was analyzed.Simulation result indicates that when the spring is in failure conditions, the equilibrium positions of wheelsets deviate from track center line, the critical speeds of vehicle reduce, the deviation and decrease are largest when the inner and outer rings of steel spring both fracture, and their largest values are about 3mm and 30km·h^-1 respectively.The wheelset with failure spring has larger wheel unloading, the value is largest in the both fractured case and is about 50 kN.For the bogie, the vertical suspension forces decrease at the positions of failure spring and its diagonal axle box, while the vertical suspension forces increase at the positions of another diagonal axle boxes, which results in large torsion force acting on the bogie.Spring fracture more easily brings the safety indexes(such as derailment coefficient and wheel unloading rate)to exceed their limit values, which greatly increases the safety risk of vehicle operation.When the ranges of speed are 200-300km·h^-1 on straight track and 100-300km·h^-1 oncurved track with radius 7 000 m, wheel unloading rates in both fractured case are greater than 0.8.The spring failure has little influence on the lateral riding performance of vehicle, but spring frozen failure will worsen the vertical riding performance of vehicle, and it increases by 0.1when vehicle speed is 300km·h^-1 compared with normal vehicle.More>

GUO Li-rong, WANG Kai-yun, WANG Hui-qiong, ZHANG Bing, LIN Jian-hui

Abstract: The low-speed derailment experiment of signal motor vehicle with post-derailment safety device under axle box was carried out.The derailer was installed on the rail to force the vehicle to derail.Acceleration sensors, displacement sensors and strain gauges were used to detect the dynamic responses of derailed vehicle.The motion attitude of derailed vehicle was recorded by using high-speed cameras and surveillance cameras.According to the test data, the ability of overturning resistance for rail and the performance of derailment safety device were verified.The dynamic responses of derailed vehicle and the effects of derailment speed, vehicle mass and track on the responses were studied.Test result indicates that in low-speed derailment, the biggest lateral force between rail and post-derailment safety device is 177.18 kN that is less than the lateral resistance of 510.00 kN, so the post-derailment safety device has the ability to limit the lateral displacement of derailed vehicle by catching the outside of rail after derailment.The derailment process is divided into four stages, including idling, running on the derailer, falling and coasting on the track, at which the dynamic responses of derailed vehicle are increasingwith the increase of derailment speed and vehicle mass.When derailment speed is 22km·h^-1, the derailment distance of CRTSⅡ bi-block sleepers ballastless track is about 15.80 m, while that of CRTSⅠ slab ballastless track is about 20.87 m.Accordingly, the bi-block sleepers of CRTSⅡ bi-block sleepers ballastless track resemble the speed bump and decrease the derailment distance.More>

Abstract: To the stabilization problem of underactuated unsymmetrical unmanned surface vessel(USV), a block backstepping approach with multiple inputs and multiple outputs(MIMO)was proposed in polar coordinate system.A drift angle polar coordinate system was designed as bodyfixed moving coordinate system, and Cartesian coordinate system was replaced by polar coordinate system as earth-fixed coordinate system.By combining the drift angle, yaw angle and polar angle, the kinematics and dynamics equations of USV horizontal plane motion in polar coordinate system were obtained, so that the underactuated problem in Cartesian coordinate systems was simplified to the full actuated problem in polar coordinate system.Based on Lyapunov stability theory and the backstepping approach, MIMO block backstepping stabilization control laws for underactuated unsymmetrical USV in polar coordinate system was designed.With the aid of semi-physical simulation platform in the laboratory, an USV model with 1.2 m and 17.5 kg was taken for stabilization control simulation experiment.The proposed block backstepping stabilization control algorithm was compared with the traditional backsteppingcontrol algorithm based on symmetry model.Comparison result shows that the convergence rates of position and yaw attitude increase by about 10 s, the stabilization errors of position and yaw angle decrease by about 0.3 mand 10° respectively, the overshoots of linear velocity and yaw angle velocity reduce by about 0.6m·s^-1 and 2 rad·s^-1 separately, so the proposed backstepping control method has higher reliability, stability and accuracy.More>

Combined with axial elastic element characteristics and release bearing structure characteristics that the contact surface of diaphragm spring rotates and the contact surface of separated forked plectrum does not rotate, an annular pressure sensor was fixed on the contact surface of separated forked plectrum, and the real-time friction pressure of clutch was estimated.Based on the dry clutch test bench and the friction coefficient model of dry clutch, the friction transfer torque and slipping friction power on the continuous operation of 400 swere estimated.The heat load of friction surface of dry clutch was calculated based on three kinds of boundaries including heat absorption from environment, heat producing by friction, and heat dissipation in convection.The thermal distortions of friction plate in 2 conditions were analyzed, including instantaneous impact engagement and frequent engagement.Analysis result shows that in the condition that the time instantaneous impact engagement is 2s, the maximum heat distortion of friction plate can reach 0.188 mm, and thetemperature of friction plate rises obviously.In frequent engagement condition, the temperature distribution of friction plate mainly depends on the second boundary of slipping friction heat load before 200 sof clutch engagement, and it depends on the second and the third boundary of convective heat after 200 sof clutch engagement.More>

Abstract: The warning effectiveness of traffic sign, especially the speed-limit sign, in one-way closed work zone of experessway, was studied by using field tests and statistical analysis.The grading speed-limit program was proposed and the test program for traffic sign effectiveness was set up.A typical expressway section was chosen to test the effectivenesses of existing traffic sign, speed-limit sign position, grading speed-limit and optimizing traffic sign.Test result shows that the effectiveness of existing traffic sign, especially the speed-limit sign, is insufficient for speed-limit.In the expressway test section, after the vehicles pass through the speed-limit sign, they still have much higher speeds than the speed-limit values, and the speed reductions of the vehicles are very small.Through the optimization of traffic sign using grading speed-limit, the vehicles after passing through the work zone have significant reductions in their speeds, the speed of passenger car reduces by 38km·h^-1, and the speed of freight car reduces by 32km·h^-1.The difference value between passenger car running speed and the speed-limit value has reduced from 60km·h^-1 to 15km·h^-1, this kind of speed difference value for freight car is from 40km·h^-1to 5km·h^-1, the speeds of vehicles are very close to the speed-limit values, and the variation tendency of traffic flow speed is consistent with the speed-limit difference value, so the effectiveness of traffic sign is greatly improved by the grading speed-limit optimization.More>

Abstract: To determine a scientific and reasonable standing-passenger density in urban rail transit carriage, the impact of standing-passenger density on comfort was studied in the perspective of standing passenger's comfort. Through analyzing and quantizing the data collected from questionnaires and field measurements, two main factors namely spatial congestion and carriage microenvironment were obtained.Based on the means of linear weighting method and customer empowerment method, a static comfort evaluation model was built by combining the 2factors.Considering the effect of long-time standing on comfort, and comparing to the fatigue index, the static comfort evaluation model was modified.A questionnaire survey was conducted to verify the time reduction factor and determine the parameters. A standing-passenger density-based generalized comfort evaluation model was built.Based on the generalized comfort evaluationmodel, a reasonable standing-passenger density model was proposed by using backstepping approach.Based on the built model, the Line 4of the Beijing Subway-Daxing Line was used for comfort evaluation.Analysis result indicates that the comfort evaluation can reflect the change of standing-passenger density timely and accurately, and the comfort evaluating result can help improving the service level of urban transit.The reasonable standing-passenger densities of Line4 of the Beijing Subway-Daxing Line meeting the comfortable level, designed level, and overcrowding level are 3.1, 4.2, 4.7person·m^-2, respectively, the calculated densities are corresponding to 3.0, 4.0, 6.0person·m^-2 of vehicle design capacity of American, and also consistent with the survey result, so the model can be used to determine the standing-passenger density in the planning and design of urban transit.More>
