The results showed that, the population based land utilization both in Zunyi and the city districts and counties indicated extensive trend. The economy- based land utilization in Zunyi City, as well as in Huichun, Zunyi and Tongzi County presented intensive trend, however the other districts and counties were in extensive tendency. It concluded that the economical and intensive utilization of construction land should be focused on the rural collective construction land, and the potential tapping of rural collective construction land in rocky desertification area should be the first priority, otherwise, the regional economic development was unbalanced be- tween different district and county in Zunyi.展开更多

The model includes 3D object deformable curves which can represent the deformation of human occluding contours. The deformation of human occluding contour can be represented by adjusting only four deformation parameters for each limb. Then, the 3D deformation parameters are determined by corresponding 2D contours from a sequence of stereo images. The algorithm presented in this paper includes deformable conic curve parameters determination and the plane, 3D conic curve lying on, parameter determination.展开更多

The new type expansion device is composed of polyurethane elastomer material and named TTXF (elastomer expansion joint). In theory, researchers find out expansion joint deformation regularity between adjacent bridge spans through theoretical analysis and detection in heavy haul railways, such as Datong-Qinhuangdao Railway and Shenchi-Huanghua Port Railway. Fatigue tests prove that TTXF can adapt to permanent and dynamic deformation. On the other hand, it has been successfully applied in the test section of Central South of Shanxi Railway Passage and continuous monitoring has been conducted in extreme weather for over one year. The expansion joint has a good effect practically.展开更多

This formulation utilizes the stabilized conforming nodal integration, where for the purpose of stability and efficiency a Lagrangian smoothing strain at nodal point is constructed and thereafter the internal energy is evaluated nodally. This formulation ensures the linear exactness, efficiency and spatial stability in a unified manner and it makes the conventional Galerkin meshfree method affordable for three dimensional simulation. The three dimensional implementation of stabilized conforming nodal integration is discussed in details. To model the failure evolution in soil medium a coupled elasto-plastic damage model is used and an objective stress integration algorithm in combination of elasto-damage predictor and plastic corrector method is employed for stress update. Two typical numerical examples are shown to demonstrate the effectiveness of the present method for modeling large deformation soil failure.展开更多

In order to develop an effective program for the cable sliding program, two-node cable element based on the analytical solution of elastic cate- nary was studied. Then the cable sliding stiffness was defined as the ratio of the variation of the cable force to the variation of the cable length. To validate the proposed numerical method, analyses of two examples given in references were carried out. The results show that the method given in this paper is accurate and effective, which can be used to model the cable sliding in cable structures. Finally, the deployment process of a foldable cable-strut structure, which is composed of four-bar linkages and cables, was discussed. It can be found that the effect of cable sliding on the behavior of cable-strut structures is significant. The length changes of active cables are smaller when the cable sliding is considered. Moreover, the nodal coordinate changes also become faster when the numerical model is with cable sliding.展开更多
