Distinctive Rainfall Evolutions in East Asia between Super and Regular El Niño Events during Their Decaying Summers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: While enhanced rainbands progressed northward in East Asia from June to August during the regular El Niño decaying summer, strengthened rainbands were only observed in the earlier summer and disappeared in August in the ...
Investigation on the Dynamic Characteristics of Track Slab with the Influence of Rail Corrugation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Rail corrugation, a common defect of rails, causes a high frequency self-oscillation effect in track slabs when there is an external load. In order to analyze the influence of multi-scales of rail corrugation on the dynamic ...
Transient Start-Up Characteristics of an In-Pipe Spherical Hydraulic Turbine
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The purpose of this study is to analyze the rotational speed characteristics of a spherical turbine start-up process, and the rotational speed characteristic of the spherical turbine is studied by numerical simulation. In ...
Risk Assessment Method for High-Speed Railway Track Based on Dynamically Weighted Acceleration
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: As railway maintenance increasingly requires strict inspection and accurate repair, it is urgent to establish a reasonable assessment method for identifying the risks in high-speed railways. Severe track irregularities can ...
Flexural Strength and Thermal Conductivity of Fiber-Reinforced Calcium Silicate Boards Prepared from Fly Ash
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A novel fiber-reinforced calcium silicate board was prepared from fly ash. The effects of compression pressure, pulp fiber content, and cement content on the flexural strength and thermal conductivity of the fiber-reinforced ...
Risk Identification Method for High-Speed Railway Track Based on Track Quality Index and Time-Optimal Degree
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The real-time identification and early warning of the state of the track are significant to keep the high-speed railway (HSR) safe, stable, and comfortable. This paper proposes a new risk identification method based on the ...
