Spatial gust impact analysis on safety and comfort of a train crossing cable-stayed bridge combining statistical method

In order to study the safety and the comfort of high-speed trains running on a single-tower cable-stayed bridge under spatial gust,a dynamic model of wind-train-bridge analysis model is built based on the autoregressive method,the multi-body dynamics method and the finite element method.On this basis,the influence of spatial gust model loading,the suspension parameters change,wind attack angle and speed on the train-bridge system are analyzed by combining the time/frequency domain analysis and statistical methods.The results show that the spatial gust environment is one of the most important factors affecting safety and comfort and can make the calculation result tend to be conservative and more conducive.The response changes caused by K_(py),K_(px) and K_(sx) changes are nearly linear,while Ksy shows nonlinear characteristics and the most sensitivity.Wind attack angle at 75°and 90°has the greatest influence on the vehicle-bridge system.For ride comfort index,when pre-set wind speed(α=75°)reaches 20 m/s,the vertical acceleration firstly exceeds the limit value;when wind speed(α=90°)reaches 21.5 m/s,the lateral acceleration firstly exceeds the limit value,and the ride comfort of the vehicle cannot be guaranteed.For running safety index,when pre-set wind speed(α=75°)reaches 24.6 m/s,the wheel unloading coefficient firstly exceeds the limit;when pre-set wind speed(α=90°)reaches 24.5 m/s,the derailment coefficient firstly exceeds the limit,and the running safety cannot be guaranteed.The results can provide a suitable reference for the safe and stable operation of trains on the bridge.

Impact of external optical feedback on the beat notes of dual-polarization fiber lasers

We present a theoretical analysis and an experimental study of the impacts of external optical feedback on dualfrequency fiber lasers. The external optical feedback can effectively suppress the phase noise of the beat notes of dual-frequency fiber lasers, provided some requirements are satisfied. The polarization of the optical feedback is important for the fiber laser＇s stability, and it can also tune the beat note frequency. A side effect of external optical feedback, as demonstrated in the experiments, is lowering the sensitivity of the dual-frequency fiber laserbased sensors, although such degradation is not obvious.
