CHANG Ming-feng, PEI Jian-zhong, CHEN Shuan-fa
Abstract: In order to obtain the relationships between the mechanics parameters of granular materials and test conditions, discrete element method(DEM)was applied to prepare the initial specimens and simulate the biaxial test of granular materials with five particle diameters.The influences of different confining pressures on the elastic moduli, the strengths and the variation rules of elastic moduli, the Poisson's ratios and the strengths under different loading velocities were analyzed.The stress-strain curves of five specimens were plotted under confining pressure of 10 MPa and loading velocity of 0.03 m·s-1, and the crack distributions in the specimens were also given from microscopic viewpoint.Simulated result indicates that the elastic moduli and strengths of five specimens increase with confining pressures, and the increasing trends are relatively smooth.However, the specimen with 9.50~13.20 mm particles has a bigger fluctuation.The relationships between loading velocity and the elastic modulus, the Poisson's ratio, the strength and the crack-initiation stress are quadratic polynomials basically, the minimum correlation coefficient is 0.900 9, and the maximum correlation coefficient is 0.995 9.In addition, the peak values of stresses obtained from stress-strain curves reduce with the increase of particle diameters.More>

Combined evaluation method of slope stability
LI Wei
Abstract: With MATLAB optimization toolbox, the parameter variability of soil was considered, the reliability index and corresponding safety factor of slope were computed by using response surface method(RSM)with quadratic sequence, and the safety factor was reduced by using the corresponding failure probability of the reliability index. A combined evaluation method, named reliability index and reduction safety factor evaluation method, was set up, the stability of slope was evaluated, and the calculation result and the failure surfaces obtained by the method were compared with the results obtained by traditional certification method and median reduction method of safety factor in dual index method. Comparison result indicates that slope may be unreliable with a safety factor(greater than 1)calculated by using traditional method when the parameter variability of soil is larger. In the present method, the reliable part of the safety factor is gotten by the reducing process, simultaneity, the unreliable part resulted from ignoring the uncertainty is deleted, so it can give a reasonable evaluation for practical slope.More>

Numerical simulation of soil pressure and deformation for culvert with load-reducing measures
GUO Ting-ting, GU An-quan
Abstract: Based on the test sites of two culverts on Nanguang Expressway, EPS(expanded polystyrene)was taken as load-reducing material, the vertical soil pressures and soil deformations of the culverts under the conditions with and without load-reducing boards were studied and compared by ANSYS simulation and measure, and the influence of the thickness of EPS boards on the pressures and deformations was analyzed. Analysis result shows that under maximum soil-filling height, the differences between the calculated values and measured values of the pressures are not more than 16%. When EPS boards are laid on the tops of the culverts, the pressures of the culverts decrease by about 1/2~2/3. Under experimental condition, the thicker EPS boards are, the better the load-reducing effect is. The deformation nephograms of soil intuitively show the existence of settlement difference between inside and outside soil columns on the tops of the culverts, and it is an integrated parameter that can reflect the various influence factors of the pressures. When EPS boards are laid on the tops of the culverts, the forming settlement difference results in the load-reducing effect of EPS boards. Under the same soil-filling height, the thicker EPS boards are, the bigger the settlement difference is, the better the load-reducing effect is.More>

BAI Hua, LI Jia-wu, CUI Xin, LIU Jian-xin
Abstract: The three-component force coefficients of streamlined sections of Sutong Bridge with different Reynolds numbers were calculated by using numerical simulation. The Reynolds number effect of streamlined section for bridge model with chord/thickness ratio of 10∶1 was investigated by wind tunnel test, the influence of Reynolds number on drag coefficient, surface pressure coefficient, wind pressure spectrum and Strouhal number was analyzed, and the restraining action of surface roughness on Reynolds number effect was researched. It is pointed that drag coefficient decreases with the increase of Reynold number. The zero position of surface pressure coefficient is subject to the influence of Reynolds number. Strouhal number exists platform effect because of the influence of Reynolds number. Strouhal number measured by wind tunnel test with low Reynolds number decreases by 20% compared with the one of practical bridge. Reynolds number effect of streamlined section is considerable. Surface roughness can restrain Reynolds number effect.More>

SUN Sheng-jiang, XU Jian-wei, HAN Wan-shui, MEI Kui-hua
Abstract: ANSYS program was used to establish the space bar element models of T-beam bridges with three different transverse connections, such as hinging, wet seaming and wet seaming with integral layer.The load spectrum of random traffic flow was programmed.Bridge dynamic analysis system(BDANS)was used to calculate the dynamic deflection of T-beam bridge under random traffic flow, and its whole rigidity characteristic was analyzed.The result shows that the rule of transverse distribution of dynamic response is consistent with that of static reaction.The dynamic response of every beam for T-beam bridge with hinging connection is very different, which shows that its whole rigidity is worst.Its maximum deflections under various traffic operations are 1.30 times larger than those with other two connections, and can reach 2.02 times as much as those under regular one-lane traffic operation.The dynamic response of every beam for wet seaming connection and wet seaming connection with integral layer is similar.Therefore, the whole rigidities of T-beam bridges with the latter two connections increase evidently.More>

CHI Mao-ru, ZHANG Wei-hua, ZENG Jing
Abstract: A mathematic model of partial load vehicle was set up. As an example of a high-speed vehicle running on tangent track with Germany low-disturbing spectrum at 300 km・h-1, the influences of all kinds of partial loads on the riding quality of vehicle were analyzed and compared by simulation. Analysis result shows that with the increase of partial load, the riding quality of vehicle is getting worse, longitudinal partial load has larger influence on the riding quality between the foreside and backside of vehicle, and lateral partial load has less influence on them. So in order to improve the riding quality of vehicle, partial load must be minished by all means, especially, longitudinal partial load must be strictly controlled. 5 figs, 10 refs.More>

QI Xiao-jie, WANG Qiang, YU Jian-guo
Abstract: Considering the main structure and combined performance of multiple composites for renovation tire, the mechanics model, geometric model and finite element model of renovation tire for 11R22.5 loading vehicle were set up, the simulation analysis and experimental research of its deformation characteristics were conducted by using composite laminated structures and finite element large deformation theory, and the same brand and same model new tire was compared. The deformation theory formula of renovation radial tire was amended based on the loading deformation characteristic rules of renovation tire. Analysis result indicates that when inflation pressure is certain, the radial deformation, lateral deformation, grounding length and contact area of renovation tire increase with load increase, its deformations are almost linear, while its radial stiffness hardly changes. When load is certain, the radial deformation, lateral deformation, grounding length and contact area decrease with inflation pressure increase, while its radial stiffness increases. The elastic modulus of renovation tire's carcass is bigger than the one of new tire's carcass. The greater the modulus difference between the two carcass is, the higher the aging degree of renovation tire's carcass is, the lower its remaining service life is, which benefits for predicting the aging properties of renovation tire's carcass.More>

JI Tian-jian, GAO Yu-feng, CHEN Rong-sheng
Abstract: The dynamic hydroplaning of car tire was studied by the theory of elastohydrodynamic lubrication. The system of elastohydrodynamic lubrication was made of tire, water on pavement and pavement. The coordinate system was set up on tire, so tire was relatively immobile, and water film was relatively mobile. To control the hydroplaning, the equations of Reynolds, thickness of water and its distortion were derived. The equations were solved by using complex direct iteration algorithm and corresponding program. Computation result indicates that the thickness of water film on pavement that can lead to the hydroplaning becomes lessening with speed increase. The hydroplaning will happen when the speed of car is 120 km·h-1 and the thickness of water film on pavement is 2 mm.More>

Dual-objective reliable network design based on particle swarm optimization
CHEN Ling-juan, PU Yun
Abstract: A bi-level programming model of network design was established by supposing the capability of road section to be a discrete random variable. The upper model was a dual-objective programming model, which considered the minimum of network expected travel time and the maximum of network net ecoromic benefit reliability. The lower model was a user equilibrium(UE)with elastic demand. The excess-demand formulation was adopted to solve the lower model, and the vector evaluated particle swarm optimization(VEPSO)was adopted to solve the whole bi-level programming. Analysis result indicates that the outcome is a group of Pareto solutions, network expected travel time and network net economic benefit reliability are contradicting objectives. Network expected travel time decreases, the reliability also decreases. When the reliability keeps invariant, total investment amount increases with the decrease of expected travel time. The optimum scheme for network design should be chosen by combining total investment amount with actual situation.More>

With security constraints, the model minimized total taxiing time to find out optimal assignment. On the basis of multi-runway airport informations such as ground network data, operating mode and flight schedules, a gate assignment simulation algorithm was designed and applied to real-time surface operations. Simulation result shows that compared with random assignment algorithm, the ground capacity increases by 4.6%, the times of conflict detection and resolution decrease by 10.7%, and the maximal delay reduces by 34.8%. So the efficiency of airport surface traffic is improved, and the proposed algorithm is feasible.More>

ZHANG Yang
Abstract: To study the impact of travel time uncertainty on traveler route choice in urban traffic, a hypothesis that travelers took aversion to travel time uncertainty was presented based on prospect theory. A Bayesian model was used to analyze travelers' behaviors influenced by updating uncertainty perceived in rerouting, and an example was tested by using survey data. Analysis result shows that 77.73% travelers prefer routes with less uncertainty.66.39% travelers change their departure times when the uncertainty of travel time reduces, so that mean travel time budget decreases about 10.03%.70.90% travelers change their departure times when their familiarities with route increase, so that mean travel time budget decreases about 15.56%. So travel time budgets decrease with the decrease of travel time uncertainty and the increase of repeated travels.More>

ZHENG Shi-yuan
Abstract: In order to make planning for the parking fee and scale of public parking lot in the situation of incomplete information, the parking fee and scale optimization models under regulation operation mode and competition operation mode were established. The criteria of optimal parking fee and scale were got, and the affections of different factors on parking fee and scale were analyzed by means of bi-dimensional adverse selection and dynamic game approach. Through the comparison of public parking lot operations and social welfares with two modes, it is known that the effects of different modes on parking fee are uncertain. Compared with regulation operation mode, the optimal scale is 94.21% larger, the private parking company's profit is 67.13% higher, the parking demand is 36.70% larger, and the social welfare is 41.34% higher under competition operation mode. So competition operation mode can benefit the operation of public parking lot and social welfare.More>

Analysis result shows that under field test condition, the average estimation error of the proposed algorithm decreases by 7.13% and 4.85% respectively in comparison with standard UKF and CKF. The root mean square of estimation error increases by 8.56% with constraint level from 31.5 to 1 315.0, so the estimation precision changes mildly, and the algorithm is effective.More>

SHANGGUAN Wei, WANG Jing-jing, CAI Bo-gen, WANG Jian, LIANG Qian-hao
Abstract: During the design process of acquisition algorithm for GPS weak signal, in order to increase acquisition sensitivity, a method that combined coherent integration with noncoherent integration was adopted to eliminate the influence of data code length on coherent integration gain, and a differential coherent integration was proposed to reduce the square tenuation in noncoherent integration. Instead of traditional methods, FFT-based code and carrier acquisition algorithm was implemented to improve acquisition speed and accuracy. DLL and PLL were used in GPS weak signal track. Finally, the acquisition and track of GPS weak signal were realized by simulation. The result indicates that it is a good approach to track and capture GPS weak signal with the CNR of 25 dB·Hz-1 by simulation technology. The sensitivity of differential coherent acquisition is 0.8 dB larger than the sersitivity of coherent-noncoherent integration, frequency acquisition error is less than 1.25 Hz, and code acquisition error is less than 0.1 code.More>

ZHANG Jing, JU Yong-feng, CHEN Li
Abstract: The import saturation degree of intersection and the average travel speed of road section were selected as the basic parameters of road network's state detection, the high time-frequency properties of wavelet packet transform was adopted, and the mutation and unusual conditions of the saturation and the speed were distinguished by using energy analysis method. In order to describe the change of traffic state, a coefficient was defined, a traffic state detection algorithm was designed by using wavelet analysis, and Bayesian Method was used to predict the traffic state. Simulation result shows that the mutation interval of energy distribution can be identified by using wavelet analysis, based on which the changing time interval of traffic state can be distinguished. While the maximal points of sampling data modulus are from 200 to 243, the energy change of the section node is intense, and the state changes from steadiness to unsteadiness. When the coefficient of traffic state is more than 0.300 h·km-1, a crowded state appears. The method with simple working principle and short time response to congestion is feasible because of its credible detection result.More>

SUN Ling, LIU Hao, NIU Shu-yun
Abstract: The relationship between the missing data and other data of traffic flow was studied by using correlation theory. A reconstructive method based on spatio-temporal relative weight values was put forward when other data had different correlations with missing data and were given different spatio-temporal relative weight values. The Beijing Expressway of Second Ring Road was selected as test road, its simulation models were established by using VISSIM, and the new method and existing methods were compared by using simulation data. Analysis result shows that the maximum average relative error between the reconstruction values and simulation values of model 1 is only 1.876 6% and below 1.000 0% in general when the numbers of continuous missing data are from 1 to 10, so the method of model 1 is better than existing reconstructive methods.More>
