Abstract A method for determining the effect of suspension dynamics on tire wear has been developed. Typical city cycle maneuvers are defined by instrumented vehicle testing and data in the form of forward velocities and steer angles are used as an input to an ADAMS computer model of the vehicle. A simulation of the maneuvers generates a tire's operating environment in the form of normal load, slip, and camber variations, which contain all the subtle effects of the vehicle's suspension, steering, and handling characteristics. A cyclic repetition of the tire's operating environment is constructed and used to control an MTS Flat-Trac machine. In this way, accelerated tire wear can be generated in the laboratory which is directly related to the design features of the vehicle's suspension and steering systems.

В статье систематизированы основные критерии, необходимые для определения нормативных сроков эксплуатации бетонных и железобетонных конструкций, проведен анализ состояния отечественной и зарубежной нормативной базы в отношении требований к срокам службы железобетонных конструкций, рассмотрены основные нормативно-технические документы в области проектирования железобетонных конструкций зданий и сооружений по их жизнен-ному циклу. Описаны виды коррозионных повреждений железобетонных конструкций и определяющие их факторы, приведены согласованные на международном уровне модели долговечности для некоторых деградационных процессов. На основе проведенных работ подготовлены предложения по оценке коррозионного состояния эксплуатировавшихся железобетонных конструкций, их остаточной несущей способности, эксплуатационной пригодности, ожидаемого срока службы в заданных агрессивных условиях и методов определения нормативных сроков службы железобетонных конструкций. Даны предложения по разработке и актуализации ряда релевантных нормативных, технических и организационно-методических документов.

User Friendly

Pedigree for Windows is a user-friendly program that allows the user to trace agronomic characteristics, draw pedigrees, and view images of several fruit crops, including more than 1400 apple, 800 strawberry, 800 almond, 100 blackberry, 80 blueberry, 790 pear, 200 raspberry examples. Pedigree Import Wizard®© for Windows is an add-on software for users who are interested in importing their research or breeding data records of fruit, flower, and plant characteristics and any related images into Pedigree for Windows. Pedigree for Windows and Pedigree Import Wizard have been designed so that a user familiar with the Windows operating environment should have little need to refer to the documentation provided with the program. Pedigree Import Wizard uses a comma-separated value (csv) file format under the MS Excel environment. This option allows the user to add or import additional data to the existing database that are already stored in other software such as Lotus, Excel, Access, QuattroPro, WordPerfect, and MS Word tables, etc., as long as they work under the Windows environment. A free demo version of Pedigree and Pedigree Import Wizard for Windows is available from http://www.pgris.com.

System Configurations

Self-replicating robot systems (SRRSs) are a new prospective paradigm for robotic exploration. They can potentially facilitate lower mission costs and enhance mission capabilities by allowing some materials, which are needed for robotic system construction, to be collected in situ and used for robot fabrication. The use of a self-replicating robot system can potentially lower risk aversion, due to the ability to potentially replenish lost or damaged robots, and may increase the likelihood of mission success. This paper proposes and compares system configurations of an SRRS. A simulation system was designed and is used to model how an SRRS performs based on its system configuration, attributes, and operating environment. Experiments were conducted using this simulation and the results are presented.

In this paper, a fault diagnosis method is proposed based on multi-sensor fusion information for a single fault and composite fault of train braking systems. Firstly, the single mass model of the train brake is established based on operating environment. Then, the pre-allocation and linear-weighted summation criterion are proposed to fuse the monitoring data. Finally, based on the improved expectation maximization, the braking modes and braking parameters are identified, and the braking faults are diagnosed in real time. The simulation results show that the braking parameters of systems can be effectively identified, and the braking faults can be diagnosed accurately based on the identification results. Even if the monitoring data are missing or abnormal, compared with the maximum fusion, the accuracies of parameter identifications and fault diagnoses can still meet the needs of the actual systems, and the effectiveness and robustness of the method can be verified.
