Dynamics of Tire Crossing on a Gapped Road Surface
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The safety of cars and trucks crossing gapped road surfaces can be affected by their operational speed, mass, and the tire and road surface characteristics. As part of a research on the safety of road vehicles crossing ...
Nonlinear Stability of Rail Vehicles Traveling on Vibration-Attenuating Slab Tracks
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Various vibration-attenuating slab tracks have been introduced into urban railways to minimize the negative effects of train-induced ground vibration and noise. However, compared with traditional slab tracks, vibration-attenuating ...
An Advanced Antislip Control Algorithm for Locomotives Under Complex Friction Conditions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The locomotive wheelsets configured with high-power AC traction motors are very prone to slip under poor friction conditions, which usually impair traction/braking efficiency. To avoid the adverse consequence caused by the ...
Sequestration and Transformation in Chemically Enhanced Treatment Wetlands: DOC, DBPPs, and Nutrients
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper examines the effectiveness of chemically enhanced treatment wetlands (CETWs), wetlands that received water treated with coagulants, to remove dissolved organic carbon (DOC), disinfection byproduct precursors ...
