Traffic safety and dynamic properties of the bridge deck of high-speed railway lines by V. Yu. Polyakov, Dang Ngoc Thanh

“…When driving over the bridge with critical speeds causing near-resonance oscillations, the force in the wheel—rail contact may drop to zero with the risk of derailment. Insufficient damping poses a threat to traffic safety. Thus, one of the most important dynamic parameters — damping — is a problem for a ballastless track on high-speed railway bridges. …”

Reliability test for frequency estimation of sinusoid based on LMP detection by UGuo-bing H, ULi-zhong X, AOAn-ping B, UShan-shan W, AOYan G

“…A reliability test method based on locally most powerful (LMP) detection was proposed to evaluate the fre-quency estimation of sinusoid.The hypothesis test was created at first,and then a reference signal was generated depend-ing on the specific frequency estimation of the sinusoid.By analysis of the parameters differences from the probability distribution characteristics of the modulus of the cumulative sum series under the different two hypotheses,the reliability test for frequency estimate of sinusoid signal was performed by the proposed LMP-based statistic and threshold.The LMP statistic and its approximated theoretical detection performance were derived .Simulation results show that the pro-posed method can be used to verify the reliability for blind frequency estimation of sinusoid at low signal-to-noise ratio.…”
