A structural equations analysis of commuters' activity and travel patterns

An exploratory analysis of commuters' activity and travel patterns was carried out using activity-based travel survey data collected in the Washington, DC metropolitan area to investigate and estimate relationships among socio-demographics, activity participation, and travel behavior. Structural equations modeling methodology was adopted to determine the structural relationships among commuters' demographics, activity patterns, trip generation, and trip chaining information. Three types of structural equations model systems were estimated: one that models relationships between travel and activity participation, another that captures trade-offs between in-home and out-of-home activity durations, and a third that models the generation of complex work trip chains. The model estimation results show that strong relationships do exist among commuters' socio-demographic characteristics, activity engagement information, and travel behavior. The finding that significant trade-offs exist between in-home and out-of-home activity participation is noteworthy in the context of in-home vs. out-of-home substitution effects. Virtually all of the results obtained in this paper corroborate earlier findings reported in the literature regarding relationships among time use, activity participation, and travel. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

Euler方程解的间断面的虚拟区域方法

用高分辨率激波捕捉格式求解Euler方程时,不可避免地会用到间断面两侧的点,从而在间断面附近发生数值耗散,降低分辨率.此文应用一种虚拟区域,将LevelSet方法与高分辨率激波捕捉方法结合起来求解Euler方程,不使用间断面两侧的点,从而提高了分辨率.通过激波管问题的数值实验,可以看到这种方法的优越性.

无支架缆索吊装系统单跨双吊点主缆计算

利用缆索静力平衡原理,建立了主缆按双吊点位置的分段曲线方程,推导了相应的主缆垂度和水平张力计算公式,分析了主缆双吊点距离、主缆跨径、主缆自重及吊重等参数对水平张力的影响。结果表明:影响主缆水平张力的主要因素是两吊点间距与主缆跨径之比,当两者之比在0.05以内时,用单吊点法和双吊点法计算结果差异很小,可忽略不计。
