摆式列车受电弓垂向振动主动控制

建立了摆式列车机电耦合动力学模型、受电弓线性和非线性动力学模型及接触网有限元模型和静态接触刚度模型,组成摆式列车-受电弓-接触网耦合动力学模型,分别设计了P和H∞鲁棒控制器,应用数值仿真方法,研究了摆式列车直线和曲线通过时两种控制器对摆式列车受电弓垂向主动控制的效果。结果表明受电弓若无垂向控制,其弓网接触压力波动较大;P和H∞鲁棒控制均能减小弓网接触压力的波动;控制延时对P控制比对H∞鲁棒控制的影响大;是否考虑接触网的振动对接触压力影响较大,对控制效果影响不大。这说明摆式列车受电弓垂向主动控制能明显改善弓网接触压力波动;H∞鲁棒控制比P控制效果更好;接触网的静态接触刚度模型可用于受电弓主动控制的定性分析。

空气弹簧对车辆曲线通过性能的影响

建立了考虑左右空气弹簧垂向耦合模型的车辆系统数学模型,由理想气体的状态方程得到空气弹簧的力学方程,分析了车辆通过曲线时车辆与空气弹簧的动态特性。仿真结果表明:由于高度阀的动作,车辆在驶出曲线后各空气弹簧的压力不一致,导致车体不能回到静平衡位置;车辆以正常速度通过曲线时,车辆曲线通过动力学性能变化不大;在车辆多次通过同一种曲线的较恶劣工况时,空气弹簧内气压变化范围是一定的;增加抗侧滚刚度能明显抑制车体侧滚,从而减小空气弹簧内气压的变化量;增大空气弹簧横向跨距,并选择合适的刚度和阻尼,能使车辆驶出曲线后各空气弹簧压力接近静平衡值。     

Fault diagnosis for singular stochastic systems

This paper studies the fault diagnosis of singular stochastic systems. The probability distribution of output is measured by probability density functions (PDFs), which are modeled by a square root B-spline expansion. An adaptive nonlinear observer is proposed to estimate the size of the fault occurring in systems. Furthermore, the linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach is applied to establish sufficient conditions for the existence of the observer. Finally, the simulation results are given to indicate the method for diagnosing the fault.     

Vocational and academic approaches to maritime education and training (MET): Trends,challenges and opportunities

Traditional seafarer training has always focused on the acquisition and use of practical skills. The prevailing view is that, while this approach addresses a degree of cognitive skills, it focuses on and gives much more emphasis to the acquisition of hands-on practical skills for the performance of specific tasks. On the other hand, academic education has been seen to be much more focused on the development of in-depth analytical and critical thinking skills; cognitive skills that are less reliant on hands-on task-oriented training, but stress critical reading and discussion. The global trend in maritime education and training is increasingly to link an essentially vocational education that provides specific and restricted competence outcomes with more general or deeper academic components leading to an academic qualification. This trend has led to some dilemmas for curriculum development, for training legislation in a global industry, and for achieving desired learning outcomes in a professional setting (in the shipping industry). This paper discusses some of the challenges arising from this trend and the opportunities the trend offers.     

Rapid first-stage tests of on-ship infection

Protection against on-ship infectious disease—whether due to mishap or to harmful purpose—faces special situational problems. Sometimes, when infection levels on board have reached threshold levels, emergency actions are required. Often, the most thorough strategies for responding to threat are not feasible. A rapid first-stage test (RFT) is a fast, minimally invasive procedure used to rule out from possible infection a large percentage of an infection-threatened group. Prevention and control of on-ship infection need to combine various interconnected tactics. When timely criterion tests are not possible, the medical team must adopt fast alternative measures. The methods used to summarize protection against on-ship infectious agents included a scientific literature review and a web search. The fields of the review were maritime, health, and technology sources. Special attention was paid to material dealing with risks and threats of on-ship penetration by infectious agents, on-ship infection prevalence thresholds, and rapid diagnostic screens. The Bayes rule and the law of large numbers were applied to the analysis, for large on-ship populations, of RFT indications of crossing of an infection prevalence threshold. The increasing risk of serious on-ship infection—either accidental or purposeful—calls for a multi-layered protection approach. RFTs are a key part of the outer layer of such a defense. Well-designed and well-administered RFTs provide several advantages for defense against on-ship infection: low-cost, non-invasive, fast, and focuses on a drastically smaller number of infection possibilities.
