  • Patent number: 11226260
    Abstract: Provided is a three-directional motion decoupling periodic structure for a shaking table container. The periodic structure is formed by sequentially superimposing n periodic structure units, wherein each of the periodic structure units is formed by sequentially superimposing a first side-confining layer, a planar decoupling layer, a second side-confining layer and an elastic layer, wherein n is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2; the cross-sectional shapes of the first side-confining layer, the elastic layer, the second side-confining layer and the planar decoupling layer are the same; and the periodic structure is used for implementing three-directional motion decoupling in the operating condition of ground shaking. Further provided is a three-directional motion decoupling container for shaking table test, which is formed by combining the periodic structure, a container base plate and a position-limiting protection door-type frame (3).

  • Patent number: 9785730
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a simulated loading method and an apparatus for moving load of a whole train in rail transportation. Multiple actuators are arranged above rail sleepers along rail direction. The rail is cut into separate rail segments, which are connected to rail sleepers via fastening systems. Based on a verified train-rail-subgrade theory model, the distribution of fastener force under the movement of a train bogie can be obtained. A simplified expression of this solution can be acquired by Gauss function fitting considering the train axle load, which is used as the input load of actuators. Each actuator performs the same dynamic excitation sequentially with a time interval along the train moving direction. Therefore, moving load of different vehicle types at different train speeds can be simulated. The present invention provides a reliable and convenient test method and an apparatus for research of developing infrastructures of rail transportation.

  • Patent number: 9747395
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a simulated loading method and an apparatus for moving load of a wheel axle in rail transportation. Multiple actuators are arranged right above rail sleepers along rail direction. The two continuous rails are connected to the rail sleepers via fastening systems and are cut into discrete independent rail segments right above the rail sleeper. The anti-drop member satisfies the applications of compression and uplift force of the actuator. The input load of each actuator is obtained from the load-time history of a single fastening system under moving load of a wheel axle according to a train-rail-subgrade theory model, and adjacent actuators perform dynamic excitation in turn with a same time interval to achieve simulation of moving load of a wheel axle under different speed. This invention provides a reliable and convenient loading platform for experimental study of the rail transportation.
