Exchange rate and transport cost sensitivities of bilateral freight flows between the US and China

This paper explores the long-run impacts of gross domestic product, exchange rate, and transport costs on bilateral air and ocean freight flows between the US and China. The study employs a cointegration framework by using export and import data over the period of 2003:Q1-2014:Q2. Results show that gross domestic product is the key determinant of bilateral freight flows, indicating that real income of a trading partner is a driving force of the bilateral freight flows between the US and China. In examining the sensitivities of the bilateral trade flows, air freight flows are found to be more responsive to a real income change than ocean freight flows. The bilateral exchange rate is a significant factor affecting the freight flows from China to the US, suggesting that a US dollar appreciation against the Chinese yuan increases the inflows of Chinese commodities to the US. The impacts of the bilateral exchange rate and transport cost are found to vary at industry and commodity levels. These findings support the importance of employing disaggregate data in the bilateral freight flow analysis.

牌楼长江大桥“梁重转移”法施工钢箱梁临时锁定区域受力优化

牌楼长江大桥主桥为主跨730m的双塔混合梁斜拉桥,主跨扁平钢箱梁采用桥面吊机整体吊装、悬臂拼装法施工,施工中采用“梁重转移”技术将待拼装节段与已安装节段分2次进行临时锁定,并提出采用特制的压力调节装置调节该区域受力。为分析该装置对临时锁定区域的受力调节效果,采用ANSYS软件建立钢箱梁节段模型,模拟施工中临时锁定区域的压力调节过程,分析压力调节前、后临时锁定区域的受力及变形,并对实际应用效果进行对比分析。结果表明:压力调节装置对临时锁定区域的水平受力优化效果明显,对临时锁定区的相对高差影响不明显;该压力调节装置的实际应用效果较好。

A combined use of phase plane and handling diagram method to study the influence of tyre and vehicle characteristics on stability

This paper deals with in-curve vehicle lateral behaviour and is aimed to find out which vehicle physical characteristics affect significantly its stability. Two different analytical methods, one numerical (phase plane) and the other graphical (handling diagram) are discussed. The numerical model refers to the complete quadricycle, while the graphical one refers to a bicycle model. Both models take into account lateral load transfers and nonlinear Pacejka tyre–road interactions. The influence of centre of mass longitudinal position, tyre cornering stiffness and front/rear roll stiffness ratio on vehicle stability are analysed. The presented results are in good agreement with theoretical expectations about the above parameters influence, and show how some physical characteristics behave as saddle-node bifurcation parameters.
