高速铁路铰接式列车车桥系统动力响应分析

根据铰接式车辆结构和悬挂形式的特点,建立了铰接车辆单元模型,以现有通用软件为基础直接生成桥梁模型的质量、刚度矩阵,并以实测轨道不平顺为系统激励,求解车桥耦合动力相互作用问题;以欧洲布鲁塞尔-巴黎高速铁路线上的Thalys铰接式列车通过Antoing桥为例,分析了桥梁的动挠度、竖向和横向加速度等动力响应及运行车辆的振动加速度响应,并对铰接式列车的振动特性进行了初步的探讨;最后通过现场试验对分析模型和计算结果进行了验证。     

Estimation of line efficiency by aggregation†

In this paper multi-stage flow lines with intermediate buffers are approximated by two-stage lines by using repeated aggregation. The aggregation method uses restricted information of the output pattern of two-stage lines. The method is tested for the case where all production units are unreliable with exponential life-and repair-times. It appears that it performs well for most cases, provided we aggregate in the correct sequence.     

VHF propagation characterization during atmospheric disturbances

Abstract

The propagation of a television (TV) signal is usually perturbed during periods of atmospheric disturbance such as in thunderstorms. The region under investigation here is situated in the coastal area of the Bay of Bengal and has experienced frequent thunderstorm activities. An investigation to study their effects on VHF signal propagation transmitted from Satkhira in Bangladesh and received at the Indian Statistical Institute, Calcutta, has been undertaken. The depths of the atmospheric disturbances within a 1?km range have been recorded and measured by acoustic sounder (sodar) operated continuously at the receiving station. The inset of the storm is marked by the enhanced signal level with deep fluctuations characteristic during the periods of thunderstorms.

APPLICATION OF A PERTURBATION THEORY FOR EVALUATION ALGORITHMS FOR IDENTIFICATION OF A CONTINUOUS PLANT FROM DISCRETE DATA

Abstract

A perturbation theory for evaluation algorithms of arithmetic expressions is applied to the generalized least-squares identification of the continuous parameters by using nonperiodic discrete data. The sampling instants are distributed in such a way that a sequence of the elemental arithmetic expressions of the identification algorithm are suboptimized according to bang-bang rules on the extrema of appropriate variation intervals. The weighting scalars in the generalized least-squares method are updated with the same purpose.     

Extension and partial optimization of a modified Smith predictor and controller for unstable processes with time delay

Extension and partial parameter optimization are applied to a modified Smith predictor and controller, designed by de Paor( 1985) for a class of unstable processes having transfer functions of the form k₁A exp(—sT)/B, where A is a monic, Hurwitz polynomial of degree (n — l) and the nth degree monic polynomial B has a single right half-plane root at s=λ It is found that for l = 1,2,3 asymptotic stability can be achieved for λ T> 1, which more than doubles the best result obtained earlier. For a specific process, responses are compared with those obtained using the optimum stability PI controller of de Paor and O'Malley (1989). The advantages of the optimized, modified predictor in terms of tightness of control and faster settling time are highlighted
