Abstract: Freezing speed was set to 3.33, 1.67, 1.11, 0.83℃·h-1 respectively, and freezing-thawing cycles were conducted on soil samples with different water contents under closed condition.The water contents, dry densities, liquid-plastic limits, shear strengths and compressibilities of soil samples under different freezing speeds were tested, and the influence rules of freezing speed on the physical and mechanical properties of freezing-thawing loess were analyzed.Test result indicates that the water contents of soil samples after freezing-thawing cycle are larger than those of initial soils, and the growth of water content decreases with the increase of freezing speed.When water contents are lower, the influences of freezing speed on the dry densities of soil samples are less.When water contents are higher, the dry densities of soil samples decrease with the increase of freezing speed.The liquid limits of soil samples increase with the increase of freezing speed, and plastic limits change little.Cohesive force increases with the increase of freezing speed, and the change rule of internal friction angle with freezing speed is closely related with water content.The compressibility of soil sample after freezing-thawing cycle is higher than that of unfrozen soil, and compression modulus increases with the increase of freezing speed.More>

Abstract: A simply supported beam highway bridge was taken as an example, the half vehicle model with four-degree-of-freedom was employed to set up vehicle-bridge coupled vibration function, and the time-history curves of dynamic deflection and strain at mid-span under different vehicle velocities were calculated.The impact factors (IM) calculated by traditional definition method, experiment method and current code provisions were compared, the first two methods were revised to reflect the maximum dynamic response of bridge.According to the calculation principle of the maximum internal force for girder under moving load, the weighted method was utilized to replenish the first two methods.Analysis result shows that the IMs calculated by traditional definition and experiment methods are less than those in General Code for Design of Highway Bridges and Culverts (JTG D60—2004).The average value of IMs obtained at the maximum dynamic response of time-history curves doubles the first two methods, and its maximum IM is 37%less than code provision.Deflection IMs calculated by traditional definition method are greater than strain IMs, but deflection IMs calculated by experiment method are mostly less than strain IMs.The IM calculated by traditional definition method and weighted method is 16% greater than code provision.The weighted method combining with experiment method reflects the whole impact course of bridge caused by moving load, and it is stable when calculating IM.More>
Abstract: A coupling dynamics model of subway train, rubber floating slab track and tunnel was established, its corresponding program for coupling dynamic simulation was developed by MATLAB software, and the calculation result of coupling dynamic simulation program was verified by ANSYS software.With the developed coupling dynamic simulation program, a B-type subway train with a speed of 80km·h-1 was taken as an example, when it past through rubber floating slab track on tunnel with 3 kinds of floating slab lengths and 5 kinds of rubber stiffnesses, the influence of longitudinal connection form of rubber floating slab on the dynamic characteristics of coupling system was calculated.Calculation result shows that longitudinally articulated floating slab has little influence on the dynamic characteristics of each vehicle component, the maximum wheel-rail force, the dynamic characteristics of rail, the dynamic characteristics of rubber mat, and the dynamic characteristics of tunnel, and the influence is less than 10%.When floating slab is longitudinally articulated, the vibration acceleration of floating slab decreases significantly, but the maximum positive bending stress of floating slab increases to a certain extent.When the length of floating slab is longer and the stiffness of vibration-reduced rubber mat is lower, after the floating slab is longitudinally articulated, the maximum fastener tensile force near the joint of two neighboring floating slabs decreases significantly, and the decrease amplitude may exceed 80%.When the length of floating slab is 1.25 m, it is not necessary for the floating slab track to be longitudinally articulated, but when the length of floating slab is 5.00mand the stiffness of vibration-reduced rubber mat is less than 0.01N·mm-3, the floating slab track should be longitudinally articulated.When the length of floating slab is 31.25m, the floating slab track should be longitudinally articulated if the stiffness of vibration-reduced rubber mat is less than 0.02N·mm-3.More>
Abstract: The mathematical model of railway passenger car was established to analyze the rotation motion between bogie and carbody.The bogie rotation resistance factor formula was built for the vehicle with air springs bogies.Laboratory test was used to measure the resistance factor to verify mathematical model and calculation results.The distribution rule of bogie rotation resistance factor was summarized for motor and trailer car under different loading conditions.The influence of air spring state on the resistance factor was analyzed.Analysis result shows that the theory calculation result is slightly smaller than the test result for air springs in inflated and overinflated states, and the maximum error is 0.02, which is resulted from that the dynamic stiffness change of air spring at different rotation velocities and other suspension components'influence in theory calculation are ignored.The greater the rotation angle and the rotation velocity are, the greater the rotation resistance factor becomes.The resistance factor at 1.0 (°) ·s-1 is much greater than that at 0.2 (°) ·s-1, and the extreme error is 0.047.In the deflated state of air spring, the test result is bigger than the calculation result, and the difference increases with the rotation velocity.The air spring in over-inflated state has little effect on the rotation resistance factor.In the deflated state of air spring, for trailer car of tare load, the rotation resistance factor reaches its most dangerous value 0.093.More>
Abstract: The frequency shift characteristics of suspension transfer function under different spring stiffnesses were analyzed, and a new dynamic detecting method of vehicle suspension spring fault was developed.The vertical vibration accelerations of car body and bogie at the locations installed with suspension springs were respectively decomposed by seven-layer harmonic wavelet packet, and the eight low scales energies were calculated.The suspension's scale energy transfer characteristics were got through the division of car body and frame acceleration energies in each scale.The comparison method of suspension's scale energy transfer characteristics in adjacent periods was constructed to achieve the failure detection of suspension spring.Detection result shows that suspension's energy transfer characteristic changes to high scale due to spring stiffness metamorphosis, which is consistent with the conclusion drawn from the detection mechanism analysis to low frequency change, and the method correctly detects suspension failure with 10% stiffness metamorphosis.Therefor, the method has high reliability and good engineering applicability.More>
Abstract: Based on AR model and the structural characteristics of catenary, the fluctuating wind field of catenary related with time and space was established.The fluctuating wind loads acting on the catenary were calculated by the simulated wind speed time series.A three-dimensional finite element model of catenary was established to calculate the modes, static wind deviations and wind-induced vibration responses of catenary, and the spectrums of the displacement responses were analyzed in details.Analysis result indicates that the fluctuating wind field of catenary can be established by using Davenport wind speed spectrum because the vertical wind speed is lower than the along-wind speed.While the lateral average wind and natural wind with the speed of 30m·s-1 acting on the catenary, the maximum lateral displacements of mid-span node of contact wire are 109.11mm and 312.49mm, respectively.The lateral displacement of catenary calculated by the average wind load acting on the catenary decreases by 186.40% compared with the value calculated by the fluctuating wind loads.The lateral displacement of catenary is generated as well as the vertical displacement of catenary under natural wind, the first order vertical and lateral frequencies are 0.973 Hz and 1.384 Hz, respectively, and the windinduced responses of catenary exhibit peak resonant vibration in the zone of the two frequencies.Under natural wind with a speed of 30m·s-1, the stresses of contact wire and support wire caused by the wind loads are about 10.77% and 27.40% of their total stresses, respectively.Therefore, the fluctuating wind loads should be applied to conduct the wind deviation and strength design of catenary.More>
Abstract: The gaseous emissions of diesel bus fueled with pure diesel fuel, gas-to-liquid(GTL)fuel and biodiesel fuel were studied by using OBS-2200 gaseous portable emission measurement system on arterial road, residential road and elevated road. Analysis result shows that the on-road transient mass emission rates of CO, NOx, HC and CO2 have good following performance with the transient change of vehicle speeds. The mass emission rates of gaseous pollutants from the bus burning alternative fuels show a total ascending tendency with increasing vehicle speed. The mass emission rates of HC and CO2 almost linearly increase with ascending vehicle speed, while CO and NOx emissions firstly increase with the speed increasing in low and medium vehicle speed ranges, and then decrease with the speed increasing in high vehicle speed range. Compared to arterial road and residential road, the emission factors of the bus burning alternative fuels on elevated road are the lowest. Compared to pure diesel fuel, the emission factors and mass emission rates of CO and HC from the bus burning biodiesel fuel and GTL fuel decline, and for biodiesel fuel, the decreasing range is greater. The average emissions of CO and HC from the bus burning pure biodiesel fuel on the whole test roads are the lowest. Compared to pure diesel fuel, NOx emissions from the bus burning pure biodiesel fuel are higher on all roads. CO2 emissions of the bus burning pure GTL fuel, GTL fuel with 20% blend ratio and biodiesel fuel with 20% blend ratio are respectively lower than the emission for pure diesel fuel, but CO2 emission of the bus burning pure biodiesel fuel is slightly higher than the emission for pure diesel fuel.More>
