Effect on vehicle and track interaction of installation faults in the concrete bearing surface of a direct-fixation track

Various installation faults can occur in fasteners in the construction of a direct-fixation track using the top-down method. In extreme cases, these faults may cause excessive interaction between the train and track, compromise the running safety of the train, and cause damage to the track components. Therefore, these faults need to be kept within the allowable level through an investigation of their effects on the interactions between the train and track. In this study, the vertical dynamic stiffness of fasteners in installation faults was measured based on a dynamic stiffness test by means of an experimental apparatus that was devised to feasibly reproduce installation faults with an arbitrary shape. This study proposes an effective analytical model for a train–track interaction system in which most elements, except the nonlinear wheel–rail contact and some components that behave bilinearly, exhibit linear behavior. To investigate the effect of the behavior of fasteners in installation faults in a direct-fixation track on the vehicle and track, vehicle–track interaction analyses were carried out, targeting key review parameters such as the wheel load reduction factor, vertical rail displacement, wheel load, and mean stress of the elastomer. From the results, it was noted that it is more important for the installation faults in the concrete bearing surface of a direct-fixation track to be limited for the sake of the long-term durability of the elastomer rather than for the running safety of the train or the structural safety of the track.     

飞轮微振动与整星耦合特性参数补偿算法研究

为了提高飞轮与整星耦合特性影响成像像移理论预估的精度,提出了一种星上飞轮安装刚度和阻尼参数的数值补偿算法.首先,建立补偿算法数学模型,基于飞轮径向摇摆模态以及线性整星微振动传递函数模型,通过联合飞轮在专用测量平台上的扰振实测数据以及星上安装后所致成像像移实测数据构建优化函数,实现对星上飞轮安装刚度以及阻尼参数的补偿.其次,采用该算法对某型号卫星上的飞轮安装刚度以及阻尼进行了补偿和估计,最后对参数补偿前后的飞轮扰振所致像移分别进行理论预估与对比.对比结果表明:参数补偿后的预估像移数据较补偿前预估像移数据更接近实测像移数据且径向摇摆模态固有频率曲线更加明显,证明此参数补偿算法可行.本研究显著降低了整星微振动分析过程中飞轮在星上安装刚度与测试平台安装刚度不一致所带来的分析误差,为飞轮与整星耦合特性安装等效参数求解提供了一种思路.

The use of linear superconducting electron accelerator for subcritical reactor driving

At the National Science Centre, Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology (NSC KIPT) the possibility of creating an installation with a subcritical reactor driven by an electron accelerator is examined. To obtain the maximal stream of neutrons from a neutron-producing target at a minimal density of energy emission, the electron energy should be in the range of 100–200 MeV and the size of the target should be as large as possible. Other important requirements are beam continuity with time and long-term stability of the accelerator parameters. The variants of using the superconducting linear accelerator on the basis of a TESLA accelerating structure as of subcritical reactor driver are considered. The basic design parameters and characteristics of this installation are presented. The text was submitted by the authors in English.

Laboratory calibration of star sensor with installation error using a nonlinear distortion model

The high-precise star sensor calibration method requires high-accurate turntable, collimator, star point plate or other high-precision devices that are very expensive. We present a simple and available method to calibrate the principal point, focal length, radial distortion, tangential distortion and installation error of star sensor in laboratory, and without having high accurate or expensive devices. The calibration model takes the ordinary camera calibration methods and installation error into account. The installation error is modeled by combination of three typical effects: the installation of pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) initial status, PTZ and charge-coupled device, which result in six parameters. The proposed procedure consists of a closed-form solution, followed by a nonlinear refining based on maximum likelihood criterion. Our calibration method is validated through simulation and real data that shows the superiority with respect to the traditional methods and has the same level as the state-of-the-art methods. The accuracy of our calibration method is 0.015° in the root of mean square distances between testing points and projected ones.

Micro‐photoluminescence spectroscopy on heavily‐doped layers of silicon solar cells

We report and explain the photoluminescence spectra emitted from silicon solar cells with heavily‐doped layers at the surface. A micro‐photoluminescence spectroscopy system is employed to investigate the total spectrum emitted from both the heavily‐doped layer and the silicon substrate with micron‐scale spatial resolution. The two regions of the device give rise to separate photoluminescence peaks, due to band‐gap narrowing effects in the highly‐doped layer. Two key parameters, the absorption depth of the excitation wavelength, and the sample temperature, are shown to be critical to reveal the separate signatures from the two regions. Finally, this technique is applied to locally diffused and laser‐doped regions on silicon solar cell pre‐cursors, demonstrating the potential value of this micron‐scale technique in studying and optimizing locally doped regions.

The Concept of an Erosion Monitor for In-Vessel ITER Components with the Use of a Pulsed Laser

The erosion monitor is the ITER diagnostic system designed to control the erosion and deposition of materials on the plasma-facing components of the vacuum vessel under the influence of particle flows and radiation from the plasma. The required accuracy and range of measurements can be achieved using the two-frequency speckle interferometry method. However, because of vibration of the installation, the images should be taken in such a short time that is not provided by existing CMOS cameras. In this paper, it is proposed to use an interferometer based on a pulsed solid-state laser with a tunable radiation wavelength, and methods for recording interferograms under vibration conditions are considered. The required laser parameters are estimated; the expected results are analyzed.

Flow measurements in liquid metals by means of the ultrasonic Doppler method and local potential probes

Substantial research activities have been carried out at HZDR during the last 15 years on the development and qualification of various methods to measure the velocity field in liquid metal flows. In this paper we report on two complementary methods for measuring the local velocity. The potential difference probe is a local sensor which is immersed into the liquid. Such sensors are very effective for investigations of the turbulent fluctuations at a local point. However, the installation of the probe in the bulk of the liquid might disturb the flow to be measured. Ultrasonic techniques are non-invasive, but need a continuous path from the ultrasonic transducer to the liquid under investigation. The ultrasound Doppler method delivers instantaneous profiles of the local velocity. Experimental applications of these measuring techniques in diverse liquid metal flows under the influence of magnetic fields will be presented here showing the capabilities and limitations of both methods.

Assessment of the olive oil extraction plant layout implementing a high-power ultrasound machine

The objective of this study is to assess the effects of installation and operation of a high-power ultrasound machine (HPU) for the treatment of olive paste by using ultrasound technology in order to evaluate the best way installation and the best definition of the operating conditions of the machine. The study was conducted installing in an industrial olive oil mill a continuous processing ultrasound machine, which used a frequency of 20 kHz able to work at 3200 kg h⁻¹ as feed capacity. Checking of performance has been carried out by the assessment of the different operating and process conditions, assessing in particular the impact of the ultrasound treatment before and after the malaxation phase on performance indicators of the continuous olive oil plant (plant extractability, olive paste rheological characteristic) and on selected chemical properties of the olive oil extracted (quality parameters, antioxidant content, and volatile profiles). In the tested conditions, high-power ultrasound treatment did not produce significant effect on the legal parameters (free acidity, peroxide index and spectrophotometric indexes), while a significant increase in the content of phenolic compounds was generally observed; higher enhancements were more evident when the high-power ultrasound treatment was carried out before the malaxation phase.
