拱墩降温对大跨桥上连续式无砟轨道竖向位移影响分析

受季节和日照的影响,高墩大跨拱桥混凝土结构会出现膨胀现象,从而引起桥墩顶部竖向位移的变化。为了研究拱墩降温对高墩大跨拱桥上连续式无砟轨道竖向位移和高低不平顺的影响,根据桥上连续式无砟轨道的结构和受力特征,参考国内某大跨度上承式钢筋混凝土拱桥的实际参数,利用有限元方法,建立线-桥-墩一体化模型,分析拱墩降温对大跨拱桥上连续式无砟轨道的竖向位移和高低不平顺的影响。结果表明:拱墩降温引起的大跨桥上线路竖向位移较明显,设计时不可忽略;拱墩降温会引起线路高低不平顺,且对长波不平顺影响最严重;线路高低不平顺随降温幅度增加而增大,在年温差较大的地区目前不建议高墩大跨拱桥与连续式无砟轨道配合设计使用。

高速航行体的自然超空泡流阻力特性研究

利用Fluent6.2对水下带圆盘空化器高速航行体的自然超空泡流动进行了数值模拟,计算分析了超空泡高速航行体的阻力特性,研究了空化器直径、航行体长细比对航行体超空泡减阻效果的影响,分析了高速航行体的超空泡减阻率。结果表明,超空泡形态下随着航行体速度衰减,航行体压差阻力系数缓慢减小,粘性阻力系数迅速增大,航行体的总阻力系数增加;航行体阻力系数与头部空化器直径的平方成反比;增加航行体的长细比,可以获得更小的阻力系数;高速航行体的超空泡减阻率可达95%以上。最后将仿真计算结果与水靶道试验进行了对比,二者基本相符。

铁道车辆运行安全评判的轮对爬轨脱轨准则

为了掌握车辆爬轨脱轨机理及主要影响因素,分析了轮对的三维空间受力,推导了轮轨横向力和垂向力比值的一般表示式,假设车轮在达到最大轮缘接触角时为脱轨的临界状态,并认为这时轮轨间出现完全摩擦滑动,导出了不考虑轮对摇头角的临界脱轨判别的二维准则与考虑轮对摇头角和轮轨蠕滑率效应的三维脱轨判别准则,给出了轮轴脱轨系数的定义,采用轮轴脱轨系数和轮重减载率进行脱轨的判别。仿真计算结果表明:二维脱轨判别准则与三维准则相比偏于保守;摇头角越小甚至变负,越有利于防止脱轨,摇头角越大,三维准则的临界脱轨曲线越接近于二维准则的;减小轮轨摩擦系数与增大轮缘角均有利于防止脱轨的发生。     

(Unintended) Transport impacts of an energy-environment policy: The case of CNG conversion of vehicles in Dhaka

Motor vehicles are one of the major sources of air pollution in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. The government took various policies to convert the petroleum vehicles on road to run on compressed natural gas (CNG), which allows both air quality improvements and energy security benefits. One of the market friendly policies to encourage the fuel switch was to increase the price differential between CNG and petrol and diesel. This has allowed a wide-scale adoption of CNG as the fuel of choice. However, several years into the policy, there is now a widespread belief among the policymakers that the CNG conversion may have increased car ownership and car travel due to their lower running costs, resulting in more congestion and a reversal of the strategy is on the cards. It is therefore important to test the hypothesis whether CNG conversion had genuinely increased car ownership and car travel in Dhaka city. This paper presents the results of a questionnaire survey and an econometric intervention analysis to understand the impact of CNG conversion on car ownership and car travel in Dhaka. Attention is also given to disentangle the self-selection and price-induced travel effects of CNG conversion. Results show that ownership did not increase, but travel of on-road vehicles increased due to the CNG policy. However, additional congestion costs are still around one half of the health benefits brought about by the policy.     

Operating cost based cruise speed reduction for ground delay programs: Effect of scope length

Ground delay programs typically involve the delaying of aircraft that are departing from origin airports within some set distance of a capacity constrained destination airport. Long haul flights are not delayed in this way. A trade-off exists when fixing the distance parameter: increasing the ‘scope’ distributes delay among more aircraft and may reduce airborne holding delay but could also result in unnecessary delay in the (frequently observed) case of early program cancellation. In order to overcome part of this drawback, a fuel based cruise speed reduction strategy aimed at realizing airborne delay, was suggested by the authors in previous publications. By flying slower, at a specific speed, aircraft that are airborne can recover part of their initially assigned delay without incurring extra fuel consumption if the ground delay program is canceled before planned. In this paper, the effect of the scope of the program is assessed when applying this strategy. A case study is presented by analyzing all the ground delay programs that took place at San Francisco, Newark Liberty and Chicago O’Hare International airports during one year. Results show that by the introduction of this technique it is possible to define larger scopes, partially reducing the amount of unrecovered delay.     

渗流作用下利用有限元强度折减法的边坡稳定性分析

应用ADINA程序分析了天然情况下边坡的稳定性,得到了安全系数和滑面的位置,并与ANSYS以及传统条分法GEO-SLOPE程序的计算结果进行了对比;在渗流作用下,基于渗流方程和温度方程的原理,把温度场所对应的温度荷载转化为孔隙水压力荷载施加在稳定性分析的计算模型上,对边坡进行了稳定性分析。结果表明,采用该方法计算得到的安全系数与采用传统极限平衡法计算得到的安全系数相比,两者之间的误差在3%以内,说明利用温度场进行渗流计算,再采用有限元强度折减法来进行边坡的稳定性分析是可行的。     

Effects of economic disincentives on private car use

A field experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of economic disincentives on private car use. Eighty two-adult households who were owners of at least one car were randomly assigned to three experimental groups and one control group. Both experimental and control groups logged their car trips during one week before, one week during, and one week after treatment. The treatment consisted of charging two of the experimental groups approximately 100% of normal cost per kilometer of driving during 2 weeks, and charging the third experimental group this amount per kilometer of driving during 4 weeks. With the purpose of investigating whether deliberate planning increases the effect of economic disincentives, the households in one of the former and in the latter group were asked to fill out a prospective car log for the following week. The control group was not charged or requested to fill out a prospective car log but was in other respects treated in the same way. Analyses of the car logs and odometer readings during and at the end of treatment showed a weak reduction of car use due to the economic disincentives that however were almost completely dependent on planning.
