The design methodology begins with a common miniaturization technique to replace the conventional quarter-wavelength transmission line with an equivalent low-pass filter loaded with parallel coupled line and radial stubs. Since the latter leads to produce higher order harmonics, parasitic open-ended stubs are then properly introduced in the structure not only to overcome the issue but also to produce controllable transmission zeros. A versatile analytical model is also developed taking into account manufacturing restrictions, which makes it possible to extract the physical parameters of the coupler unit-cell for a given desired compactness percentage with respect to the conventional rat-race coupler. A prototype is fabricated and measured to validate the design,demonstrating the predicted behavior fairly achieved by numerical analysis. A significant size reduction of about 86.1% was achieved compared to the conventional design, while effectively suppressing higher order modes up to 23.4 GHz(including the 13th harmonic based on |S11|>-5 dB and |S21|<-17 dB)with high isolation level(|S41|<-17 dB) between the ports.展开更多

Validation was performed against the experimental data. Using this model, the emergency braking process for a combined marshalling heavy haul train was investigated to obtain the distributions of the longitudinal compressive forces and strokes of coupler devices. Then, the influences of the initial braking velocity, the synchronization time of master and slave locomotives, the coupler stiffness and the vibrator mass on the longitudinal forces and strokes were analyzed. The results show that it should be avoided that the emergency braking starts at a low initial speed. Keeping synchronism between master locomotive and slave locomotives effectively helps to reduce the longitudinal forces. Reducing the coupler stiffness appropriately and adding rigid arm connections, the longitudinal vibration frequency can be brought down and the longitudinal forces will be decreased, which improves the running safety of heavy haul trains. All of these research results can provide a reference for the operation and development of heavy haul trains.展开更多

With the ever increasing of tonnage and length of heavy haul trains, lateral in-train forces generated by longitudinal in-train forces and coupler rotations have become a more and more significant safety issue for heavy haul train operations. Derailments caused by excessive lateral in-train forces are frequently reported. This article studies two typical coupler systems used on heavy haul locomotives. Their structures and stabilizing mechanism are analyzed before the corresponding models are developed. Coupler systems models are featured by two distinct stabilizing mechanism models and draft gear models with hysteresis considered. A model set which consists of four locomotives and three coupler systems is developed to study the rotational behavior of different coupler systems and their implications for locomotive dynamics. Simulated results indicate that when the locomotives are equipped with the type B coupler system, locomotives can meet the dynamics standard on tangent tracks; while the dynamics performance on curved tracks is very poor. The maximum longitudinal in-train force for locomotives equipped with the type B coupler system is 2000 kN. Simulations revealed a distinct trend for the type A coupler system. Locomotive dynamics are poorer for the type A case when locomotives are running on tangent tracks, while the dynamics are better for the type A case when locomotives are running on curved tracks. Theoretical studies and simulations carried out in this article suggest that a combination of the two types of stabilizing mechanism can result in a good design which can significantly decrease the relevant derailments.展开更多
