基于摩擦自激理论的单侧钢轨波磨机理分析

为了分析重载铁路曲线地段钢轨波磨的产生原因,基于摩擦自激振动理论建立小半径曲线轮轨三维接触精细化模型,讨论了不同扣件刚度、摩擦系数、超高对轮轨系统不稳定摩擦自激振动的影响,揭示了单侧钢轨波磨产生的内在原因,并通过轮轨瞬态动力学方法,分析了单侧钢轨波磨的传递及演化过程. 结果表明:超高和实际运行速度的不匹配是曲线内股钢轨首先产生波磨的主要原因;内股钢轨波磨产生后会导致轮轨系统不稳定,并将振动传递至外股钢轨,从而诱发小半径曲线地段两侧钢轨均产生波磨;适当地提高扣件垂横向刚度、控制轮轨摩擦系数在0.4以下,能够有效地降低轮轨系统发生不稳定振动的趋势,从而抑制波磨发展.       

江苏射阳港3.5万吨级进港航道回淤特征研究

基于实测水文和地形资料对射阳港3.5万吨级进港航道开挖以后的回淤特征及回淤机理进行研究。结果表明:射阳港所在海域受废黄河三角洲冲刷泥沙输移的影响,含沙量较高,为航道回淤提供了丰富的泥沙来源;进港航道年回淤量为995万m³,其中导堤掩护段占全航道回淤量的93%,该段平均回淤强度可达5.0 m/a,高于开敞海域段的0.6 m/a。导堤掩护段航道回淤主要是由于涨潮期带入的高含沙水流在憩流时刻形成悬沙落淤所致,航道两侧滩面上的流泥归槽以及洪季期间上游河流的开闸泄洪对航道回淤也有一定贡献。     

复杂环境超小间距隧道盾构掘进施工技术北大核心CSCD

针对浅埋超小间距隧道盾构施工,文章以特拉维夫红线轻轨工程西标段双线盾构施工为工程背景,从隧道加固施工、盾构掘进控制、监测控制与应急管理等方面进行系统研究。结果表明,加固施工在小间距盾构隧道施工中至关重要,可有效降低隧道施工风险;对未加固的小间距盾构隧道施工,应保持土压平稳,加强土压精细化控制;严格控制出渣量,做好渣土改良,控制土体损失率低于0.3%;在盾壳外部注入膨润土或克泥效,可有效地减少邻近隧道的位移量;应结合实时监测数据,控制回填注浆量及注浆质量;隧道施工过程应加强对邻近既有建筑物的监测。     

基于纸纤维改性的隧道工程透水砂浆性能研究北大核心CSCD

为提出一种适用于隧道初期支护基面找平并且具有一定透水性能的砂浆,将纸纤维加入砂浆试块中对其性能进行改性。通过分析纸纤维的降解原理,并将不同掺量的纸纤维加入砂浆试块中,对其体积密度、吸水率、抗压强度等基本性能指标及微观结构进行测试和分析。由试验结果可知:在碱性环境中,纸纤维具有可降解的性能特点;纸纤维可以使普通砂浆试块的吸水率提升2~3倍,同时也会造成砂浆试块的体积密度和抗压强度降低;对砂浆试块吸水率和抗压强度进行线性拟合后发现其吸水率和抗压强度呈现负相关关系。研究结果表明,通过纸纤维对砂浆进行透水性能的提升是可行的,但是纸纤维掺量对砂浆其他性能的影响还有待进一步研究。     

Mesoscale subduction at the Almeria–Oran front: Part 1: Ageostrophic flow

This paper presents a detailed diagnostic analysis of hydrographic and current meter data from three, rapidly repeated, fine-scale surveys of the Almeria–Oran front. Instability of the frontal boundary, between surface waters of Atlantic and Mediterranean origin, is shown to provide a mechanism for significant heat transfer from the surface layers to the deep ocean in winter. The data were collected during the second observational phase of the EU funded OMEGA project on RRS Discovery cruise 224 during December 1996. High resolution hydrographic measurements using the towed undulating CTD vehicle, SeaSoar, traced the subduction of Mediterranean Surface Water across the Almeria–Oran front. This subduction is shown to result from a significant baroclinic component to the instability of the frontal jet. The Q-vector formulation of the omega equation is combined with a scale analysis to quantitatively diagnose vertical transport resulting from mesoscale ageostrophic circulation. The analyses are presented and discussed in the presence of satellite and airborne remotely sensed data; which provide the basis for a thorough and novel approach to the determination of observational error.     

Direct resolution of the pitch of DNA on positively charged lipid bilayers by frequency-modulation AFM

High resolution structural studies of DNA and DNA binding proteins by atomic force microscopy (AFM) require well-bound samples on suitably flat substrates. Adsorbing the DNA onto a positively charged supported lipid bilayer has previously been shown to be a potentially effective strategy for structural studies with AFM. Here, using our home-built frequency-modulation AFM (FM-AFM), we show that these bilayer substrates are only maximally effective for high resolution AFM when the samples are short, linear DNA, compared with circular plasmid DNA. We find that, with the former sample, the measured width of the DNA is about 2 nm, the known DNA diameter, and there is a clear height modulation along the length of the DNA with a periodicity of about 3.4 nm, in excellent agreement with the known pitch of the double helix. This sample preparation strategy is expected to enable higher resolution studies of DNA and DNA binding proteins with FM-AFM than that can presently be achieved.     

Energy facility siting in the urban coastal zone: Compatible or not?

Abstract

Most federal and state coastal laws were framed with a distinct emphasis on preservation of rural/recreational areas. Yet in recent years a rural/urban coastal dichotomy has emerged. This has been especially prominent in the siting of energy facilities since these operations are often water dependent; power plants, for example, need huge amounts of cooling water, and offshore oil and gas extraction requires onshore support facilities. Recently, this issue has gained special prominence on the East Coast with the commencement of offshore oil and gas exploration. A case study was conducted in Hudson County, New Jersey, in New York harbor. In this area five oil‐related facility proposals were rejected from 1972 to 1976, primarily due to citizen opposition. Citizen activists now see the urban waterfront as a special place to which they want access and amenity uses rather than a continuation of past, almost exclusive industrial development. Hudson County citizens share the aspirations of those in several urban coastal areas which have experienced waterfront revitalization, including Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Detroit, New Haven, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle, and Toronto. Innovative siting which utilizes inland, rather than coastal, locations is suggested as one way to lessen urban/rural siting tensions.     

Origin–destination synthesis for aviation network data: examining hub operations in the domestic and international US markets

Hub‐and‐spoke networking is a key feature of current aviation markets in which hubs, as connecting points, function to consolidate and redistribute flows. This indicates that observation of traffic on a segment does not necessarily convey information about the origin to destination routing of passenger journeys because of the unavoidable detours in the system. This paper examines the heterogeneity of the flow composition in domestic and international US markets, which in turn allows us to observe the variation of operations across major hubs. A modified Route Flow Estimator for origin–destination synthesis (or origin–destination matrix estimation) is designed to decompose the segment traffic into itinerary‐based passenger trips. Several public and commercial databases, which are easily accessible, are exploited (and reconciled) for the model in order to (i) generate possible trip itineraries using those segment markets, and (ii) link data‐driven operational conditions with the underlying segment flows. The results are validated with US domestic trip observations and empirical knowledge related to the air transportation system. Then, the variability of the hub operations is examined based on sensitivity tests using the model parameters. From the resolution of itinerary‐based estimates, we observe that major airports' hub operations are spatially uneven, particularly with respect to domestic and international connecting passengers.
