Computations of two passing‐by high‐speed trains by a relaxation overset‐grid algorithm

This paper presents a relaxation algorithm, which is based on the overset grid technology, an unsteady three‐dimensional Navier–Stokes flow solver, and an inner‐ and outer‐relaxation method, for simulation of the unsteady flows of moving high‐speed trains. The flow solutions on the overlapped grids can be accurately updated by introducing a grid tracking technique and the inner‐ and outer‐relaxation method. To evaluate the capability and solution accuracy of the present algorithm, the computational static pressure distribution of a single stationary TGV high‐speed train inside a long tunnel is investigated numerically, and is compared with the experimental data from low‐speed wind tunnel test. Further, the unsteady flows of two TGV high‐speed trains passing by each other inside a long tunnel and at the tunnel entrance are simulated. A series of time histories of pressure distributions and aerodynamic loads acting on the train and tunnel surfaces are depicted for detailed discussions.

A study on the mechanism of failure in keratin

The mechanical behavior of keratin is studied, focusing on the mechanism of failure. For this purpose, a new procedure has been suggested to differentiate the time-dependent and time-independent losses of energy at different strain levels. The matrix of keratin fibers was found to play an important role in the mechanism of failure.     

Dynamics of trailing vortices in the wake of a generic high-speed train

The three-dimensional dynamics of a pair of counter-rotating streamwise vortices that are present in the wake of an ICE3 high-speed train typical of modern, streamlined vehicles in operation, is investigated in a 1/10th-scale wind-tunnel experiment. Velocity mapping, frequency analysis, phase-averaging and proper orthogonal decomposition of data from high-frequency multi-hole dynamic pressure probes, two-dimensional total pressure arrays and one-dimensional multi-hole arrays was performed. Sinusoidal, antisymmetric motion of the pair of counter-rotating streamwise vortices in the wake is observed. These unsteady characteristics are proposed to be representative of full-scale operational high-speed trains, in spite of the experimental limitations: static floor, reduced model length and reduced Reynolds number. This conclusion is drawn from favourable comparisons with numerical literature, and the ability of the identified characteristics to explain phenomena established in full-scale and scaled moving-model experiments.     

Mobile relays for enhanced broadband connectivity in high speed train systems

With the introduction of wireless modems and smart phones, the passenger transport industry is witnessing a high demand to ensure not only the safety of the trains, but also to provide users with Internet access all the time inside the train. When the Mobile Terminal (MT) communicates directly with the Base Station (BS), it will experience a severe degradation in the Quality of Service due to the path loss and shadowing effects as the wireless signal is traveling through the train. In this paper, we study the performance in the case of relays placed on top of each train car. In the proposed approach, these relays communicate with the cellular BS on one hand, and with the MTs inside the train cars on the other hand, using the Long Term Evolution (LTE) cellular technology. A low complexity heuristic LTE radio resource management approach is proposed and compared to the Hungarian algorithm, both in the presence and absence of the relays. The presence of the relays is shown to lead to significant enhancements in the effective data rates of the MTs. In addition, the proposed resource management approach is shown to reach a performance close to the optimal Hungarian algorithm.     

Robust output feedback cruise control for high-speed train movement with uncertain parameters

In this paper,the robust output feedback cruise control for high-speed train movement with uncertain parameters is investigated.The dynamic of a high-speed train is modeled by a cascade of cars connected by flexible couplers,which is subject to rolling mechanical resistance,aerodynamic drag and wind gust.Based on Lyapunov’s stability theory,the sufficient condition for the existence of the robust output feedback cruise control law is given in terms of linear matrix inequalities(LMIs),under which the high-speed train tracks the desired speed,the relative spring displacement between the two neighboring cars is stable at the equilibrium state,and meanwhile a small prescribed H∞ disturbance attenuation level is guaranteed.One numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

动荷载作用下高速铁路风积土地基动力特性试验研究

根据辽西地区的地震资料和波速测试资料,通过动三轴试验,进行了地震冲击荷载和列车振动荷载两种动荷载作用下辽西风积土地基的动力特性试验研究。研究结果表明,风积土的动强度、动变形和动模量等指标与荷载类型、持续时间、振动频率和动应力幅值等条件有关。在地震荷载作用下,动荷载频率和动应力幅值越大、震动持续时间越长,其产生的动应变越大;在高速列车振动荷载作用下,土的动强度和动抗剪强度随振动次数的增加而降低;固结比相同时,动弹性模量Ed和动剪切模量Gd随固结压力的增大而增大;随动应变εd的增大而减小,且初始时刻减小速度明显,之后逐渐变缓。
