Abstract:
The dynamic responses of a railway steel bridge due to vehicle-track-bridge interaction were investigated for the effects of vertical and lateral track irregularities, approach track quality, vehicle weight and type, and train speed. It was found that (1) greater approach irregularities produce higher impact factors and dynamic forces in bridge members; (2) light weight and empty cars produce higher impact factors but small dynamic forces; and (3) impact factors depend on such parameters as axle spacing, suspension system stiffness, truck center distances, etc.

Abstract:
Problem of ensuring motion safety of empty freight cars is most acute in relation to cars on bogies of model 18-100, which is mainly due to operational wear of wheelsets, side frames and bolsters, as well as spring suspension elements. A potential threat to traffic safety arises when a train, composed of mostly empty and lightly loaded cars, moves along track sections that have deviations in the geometry of rail track of III and higher degrees or combinations and sequences of deviations of II degree.

At present, one of the global trends in railway transport development, which becomes clearer and clearer, is increasing the axle load of freight cars, which gives a considerable economic benefit. In this connection, of importance is not only the car design, but also the car capacity utilization factor: the higher this factor, the more economically efficient the car use. Because of this, one of the priority global lines in increasing the volume of fright traffic and the railway operation efficiency is increasing the carrying capacity of freight cars.

For the case of the lateral response of a vehicle negotiating a track switch, a finite element model of the track is also developed.

These coupler forces compromise the train safe operation and stability, make train handling difficult, cause track damage, raise significantly the maintenance cost, and increase the stopping distances which can lead to serious accidents.

Early detection of rail defects can avoid derailments and costly damage to the train and railway infrastructure.

These cars are usually equipped with accelerometers mounted on the axle or side frame.

Abstract:
Abstract A two-car full-scale collision test was conducted on April 4, 2000. Two coupled rail passenger cars impacted a rigid wall at 26 mph. The cars were instrumented with strain gauges, accelerometers, and string potentiometers, to measure the deformation of critical structural elements, the longitudinal, vertical, and lateral car body accelerations, and the displacements of the truck suspensions. Instrumented crash test dummies were also tested in several seat configurations, with and without lap and shoulder belts. The objectives of the two-car test were to measure the gross motions of th

Abstract:
Contraception plays a key role in people’s realization of their sexual and reproductive health and well-being. The factors that shape contraceptive behaviors are complex and dynamic, and there is growing recognition among reproductive health service providers and advocates that contraceptive service delivery must prioritize patients’ values and preferences to help them exercise their reproductive autonomy.1 Similarly, research and public health surveillance systems that measure not only contraceptive use and method selection but also contraceptive preferences are best suited to evaluate servic

Abstract:
This work exploits augmented reality to safely train and validate autonomous vehicles’ performance in the real world under safety-critical scenarios. Toward this goal, we first develop algorithms that create virtual traffic participants with risky behaviors and seamlessly insert the virtual events into real images perceived from the physical world. The resulting composed images are photorealistic and physically grounded. The manipulated images are fed into the autonomous vehicle during testing, allowing the self-driving vehicle to react to such virtual events within either a photorealistic sim

Full text
Abstract:
The incomplete pass-through of exchange rates to prices is a well-documented phenomenon. Firms respond optimally to exchange rate shocks by adjusting margins and buying inputs from regions with more advantageous terms of trade. Consumers, in turn, substitute goods that become more expensive for relatively cheaper goods after an exchange rate shock. We use data from the market for new cars in Colombia to empirically analyze the determinants of incomplete pass- through after a large depreciation of the local currency. We estimate a structural oligopoly model that nests the optimal reactions of f

Abstract:
A navigation channel improvement study for Mobile Harbor was conducted by the US Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile District (CESAM), and the Alabama State Port Authority. The US Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) assisted CESAM in assessing channel modifications using ERDC’s Ship/Tow Simulator through a Feasibility Level Screening Simulation study in 2017 and through a more comprehensive ship-simulation study in 2020. During the 2020 study, a safety concern was identified related to vessel interactions between a transiting vessel passing docked vessels at the McDuffie Coal Term

Abstract:
The overall goal of this study was to develop an integrated program of reproductive tract infection/sexually transmitted disease (RTI/STD) clinical services within two family planning clinics in low-income neighborhoods in North Jakarta. Multiple training programs to introduce a standardized clinical evaluation for the detection, treatment, and management of RTI/STDs were conducted. Prior and subsequent to training, observations of health care provider (HCP) and client interactions were conducted to evaluate behavior changes among HCPs. Each consenting client received a standardized reproducti

Aerodynamic Development of the GAC ENO.146 Concept. SAE International, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.4271/2021-01-5093.

Abstract:
This paper describes the aerodynamic development process and features of the flow field of the GAC ENO.146, a concept vehicle shown in Guangzhou Auto Show 2019, which achieved a CD of 0.146. Key factors in the design process, including how design decisions are made and how the interactions occur between aerodynamicists and designers are explained in detail. The design language forms the next generation of BEVs. The aerodynamic development philosophy is guided by three principles: minimizing flow separation, maximizing rear pressure recovery, and controlling tire wake. This vehicle took full ad
