Irregular waves were generated based on the Jonswap spectrum with two significant wave heights, and the spectrum peak periods range from 1.19 s to 1.81 s. Incident wave directions relative to the centre line of the multiple caissons are from 0＆#176; to 22.5＆#176;. The spacing between caissons ranges from 2 to 3 times that of the width of the caisson. The effects of these parameters on the wave forces of both the perforated and non-perforated caissons were compared and analyzed. It was found that the perforated caisson can reduce wave forces, especially in the transverse direction. Furthermore, the relative interval and incident wave direction have significant effects on the wave forces in the case of multiple caissons.展开更多

The FEM is used to subdivide the wave surface and deduce the surface equation which satisfies the nonlinear boundary conditions on the surface.

However, in safety impacts analysis, the existing studies mainly focus on estimating changes in vehicle crashes without addressing the influence of pedestrian related crashes. This study aims to simultaneously assess the overall impacts of vehicle and pedestrian crashes caused by signal timing optimization in dense urban street networks. An empirical Bayesian analysis method was introduced to estimate the safety impacts of intersection signal timing optimization in an urban street network in terms of vehicle-tovehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian crashes at intersections, as well as single and multiple vehicle crashes on street segments. A computational experiment was performed to apply the proposed method to the Chicago central business district that includes 875 signalized intersections and 2016 roadway segments. Results show that vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian crashes at intersections are decreased in different crash severity levels and types, especially for angle and rear-end ones after signal timing optimization. Similar results are found for multi-vehicle rear-end crashes on street segments. These indicate that intersection signal timing optimization in dense urban street networks has a potential for improving traffic mobility, vehicle and pedestrian safety at intersections, and vehicle safety on street segments.展开更多

文摘Within the heat and moisture system that is complex in the air-conditioning rooms of large space building,the existence of delay makes the stability cushion reduced,which thereby makes the estimated parameters more complex.In this paper,particle swarm optimization(PSO)is integrated with least square(LS)to improve least squares(short for PSOLS).LS,optimized by PSO,identifies the heat and moisture system parameters of the existence of delay in the air-conditioning rooms by sampling input and output data.In view of this delay system,the identification is an effective solution to nonlinear system which LS can not identify directly.The simulation results show that PSOLS is quite effective,and its global optimization has great potential.
