Study on Intelligent Compaction-Equipment Logistics Scheduling and Propagation Characteristics of Vibration Wave in Nonlinear Systems with Multistability Based on Field Test by Yixuan Han, Changwei Yang, Degou Cai, Hongye Yan, Hailing Zeng

“…Third, in the propagation process, with the increase in buried depth, the amplitude of fundamental, primary, secondary, until fifth harmonics decreases exponentially (R2>0.9), and the concrete functional relationship among different amplitudes of harmonics can be summarized as y = Ae−BX; fourth, the vibration energy is mainly concentrated near 10–30 Hz in the vibratory roller, but when the vibration wave propagates from vibratory roller⟶filling material, the vibration energy gradually decreases with the increase in depth, and the marginal spectrum gradually changes from one peak to two peaks, that is, 30–50 Hz and 50–100 Hz; fifth, the vibration energy in the vibrational wheel is distributed averagely in the compaction process, and the effective compaction time is two seconds, which will be helpful for revealing the propagation characteristics of vibration wave, optimizing the compaction quality control models and providing some support for the development of intelligent compaction theory of railway subgrade.…”

Prediction of Dynamic Characteristics of Thermocouples with Thin-Wire Sensing Elements by I. A. Safina, S. A. Artemyeva

“…That relates the known time constant of a thermocouple to the expected or current time constant of the same thermocouple at other parameters of the measured medium from the point of view of the heat exchange and thermal conduction theory. The proposed relation can be used in automatic control systems of non-stationary temperature of various liquid or gaseous media to provide continuous correction of thermocouples dynamic characteristics. …”
