Effects of the ‘Belt and Road’ initiative on the wine import logistics of China

China’s Belt and Road (BR) initiative is expected to facilitate international trade between the countries involved. In this study, we review the special requirements of wine logistics and the market growth potential of wine consumption in China. A model minimizing generalized logistical costs is developed and applied to wine imports in China, so that the best candidate cities in which to locate transport gateways and distribution centers can be identified. Our analysis suggests that the most preferred gateways are Shanghai, Tianjin, Guangzhou, and Hong Kong, which all have similar delivery costs. In comparison, Beijing and Chongqing have much higher delivery costs, mainly because they do not have good access to marine transport and/or efficient domestic distribution networks. For long-distance intercontinental transport of large volumes of wine, marine shipping remains the only viable delivery mode. However, wine distribution within China extensively uses air, road, and water transport. Therefore, cities with excellent multi-modal transport services are better positioned to become wine logistics gateways. Our study also highlights the importance of value-added services and good government support, which are important factors that influence distribution costs and quality.     

Locating rental stations and bikeways in a public bike system

To determine the spatial distribution of rental stations and bikeways in a public bike system, this paper proposes a facility location and network design model. The model is developed as a multi-objective programing problem that considers four objectives (minimizing cyclist risk, maximizing cyclist comfort, minimizing adverse impacts on traffic and maximizing service coverage) and multiple constraints (monetary budget, network connectivity, station spacing, bikeway types, station number and value ranges of decision variables). The ε-constraint method solves the programing problem for the public bike system in Daan District, Taipei City, Taiwan. The nine non-dominated alternatives generated are all markedly better than existing locations of rental stations and bikeways. Scenario analysis results indicate that increasing the construction budget for bikeways significantly improves cyclist safety and comfort whilst increasing the adverse impact on traffic. Planners can use this model to develop public bike systems that spatially integrate rental stations and bikeway networks.     

Property Evolution of Sulphoaluminate Grouting Material under Pressure Circulation北大核心CSCD

Water-sealed underground oil tank projects are quite different from traditional underground projects since the water-sealing conditions are very strict and the difficulties caused by the geological specificity, structural specificity and construction specificity are key factors affecting the project. In light of the significant early initial setting time and rapid temperature increase of sulphoaluminate cement-based grouting material for a large domestic water-sealed underground oil tank with pressurized cyclic grouting, a laboratory grouting simulation is conducted. It is found that the properties of the sulphoaluminate cement-based grouting material are quite different under different pressure cycles, the hydration exothermic peak time gets shorter with an increase of circulation time, the compressive strength decreases with an increase of circulation time, and the longer the circulation time the more obvious the de-crease of compressive strength. © 2018, Editorial Office of "Modern Tunnelling Technology".

隧道洞口滑塌与支护结构破坏特征数值模拟研究

隧道洞口段一般埋深较浅,围岩条件较差,很难稳定成拱,因而在隧道开挖后极容易受到外界扰动作用而发生坍塌变形。尤其在遇水软化的膨胀性黄土地层中建设隧道时,需要考虑降雨作用对隧道稳定性及支护结构变形的影响。本文通过数值模拟方法,结合现场观测以及室内实验,对太原某黄土隧道洞口滑塌及支护破坏特征进行了分析研究。结果表明:该隧道洞口支护结构发生破坏一方面是由于洞口浅层土体本身强度不足,且黄土遇水后强度急剧降低,围岩发生塑性变形,塑性区范围迅速扩展,围岩承载能力急剧降低;另一方面是由于膨胀性黄土遇水膨胀,产生较大膨胀力,使围岩内部应力急剧增加并且作用在支护结构上,从而导致支护结构破坏,引起隧道塌方。

拖曳球体尾流效应内波表现特征及其产生机理研究

采用PIV技术对分层流体中拖曳球体尾流及内波的流场进行了测量,捕捉到了清晰的尾流效应内波的流场图像。尾流效应内波不规则,有一定的随机性,迟于模型出现,呈"V"字形,波长较短,且不随内傅氏数明显变化,与体效应内波特征差异明显。通过对尾流激发内波过程的分析,发现尾流效应内波与尾涡结构紧密相关,试验测量的内波波长与St数决定的涡间距吻合,验证了尾涡激发内波是尾流效应产生内波的一种机制。

从螺旋桨空化噪声谱统计模型出发,分析研究螺旋桨空化噪声非均匀调制特性的机理和规律,并利用大量海上实录船舶噪声进行验证.从形成机理看,认为非均匀调制特性主要由船尾形状、螺旋桨结构以及船舶航行工况共同决定的尾流分布所导致,不同型号船舶的非均匀调制特性具有个体性;从舰船噪声信号能量谱看,调制的非均匀特性,主要受能量谱峰值频率的影响.最后基于船舶噪声的非均匀调制特性,提出一种基于多子带自适应加权的DEMON增强算法,并利用实际数据进行验证.

基于大型有限元软件ANSYS建立单桩有限元模型,以某5万DWT高桩码头为例,计算分析PHC桩在桩基完整性检测割桩处的应力释放以及损伤对水平承载的影响。结果表明:PHC桩在割桩损伤处应力释放明显,损伤区域应力变化剧烈,损伤处应力变化规律和应力集中系数与桩的预应力水平无关;水平荷载作用时PHC桩的预应力对于提高损伤桩的抗裂效果明显,损伤处受应力集中影响,预应力水平越高损伤处应力变化越大,而且最不利应力位置也下移到损伤平台内侧处。
