Dynamic track stabilization (DTS) is essential for maintaining ballast beds and improving track stability. However, accurately identifying the “stable/unstable” states of the ballast bed during operation remains challenging, and traditional offline inspections can cause significant delays. To address this, this study proposes a ballast bed state recognition method utilizing a residual neural network (ResNet). It uses sleeper lateral acceleration signals as input, preprocesses them with Finite Impulse Response (FIR) band-pass filtering, and creates time–frequency image features through the Transient Extraction Transform (TET). These features are then combined with ballast compaction and stabilization parameters. The model employs a shared encoder and uses a combined weighted multi-task loss function. This loss function merges the classification cross-entropy with the settlement and lateral resistance regression losses, and applies dynamic weighting based on the GradNorm technique. This approach balances multi-task training and enhances the model’s robustness under different operational conditions. A total of 864 samples (605/173/86 for training/validation/test) are used for model training and evaluation. Results show that the ResNet18 model achieves 96.71% accuracy on the validation set, and the binary classification accuracy on the test set exceeds 98%, as shown by the confusion matrix. Compared to DenseNet201, training time is reduced by 77.26% under the same conditions, leading to a 340.9% increase in training efficiency. A field engineering case further demonstrates that the proposed model can accurately identify ballast bed states during DTS, with recognition results consistent with engineering criteria, indicating strong potential for practical application.
动态轨道稳定是维护道床、提高轨道稳定性的重要手段。然而,在运行过程中,准确识别镇流器床的“稳定/不稳定”状态仍然具有挑战性,传统的离线检查可能会造成严重的延误。为了解决这个问题,本研究提出了一种利用残差神经网络(ResNet)的压载床状态识别方法。它以卧铺横向加速度信号为输入,用有限脉冲响应(FIR)带通滤波对其进行预处理,并通过瞬态提取变换(TET)产生时频图像特征。然后将这些特征与压载压实和稳定参数相结合。该模型采用共享编码器和组合加权多任务损失函数。该损失函数将分类交叉熵与沉降和侧向阻力回归损失相结合,并应用基于GradNorm技术的动态加权。该方法平衡了多任务训练,增强了模型在不同操作条件下的鲁棒性。总共864个样本(605/173/86用于训练/验证/测试)用于模型训练和评估。结果表明,ResNet18模型在验证集上的准确率达到96.71%,在测试集上的二元分类准确率超过98%,如混淆矩阵所示。与DenseNet201相比,在相同条件下,训练时间减少了77.26%,训练效率提高了340.9%。现场工程实例进一步表明,该模型能够准确识别DTS过程中的压载床状态,识别结果符合工程标准,具有较强的实际应用潜力。

In the context of seepage erosion induced by damage to underground structures, the transformation from suffusion to leakage (referred to as a suffusion catastrophe) is a particularly typical and complex phenomenon that warrants increased attention. However, current research on the two erosional behaviours remains largely isolated, resulting in an inadequate understanding of the underlying mechanisms driving suffusion catastrophe and thus a lack of its equation description. Together with the existing theoretical shortcomings in the governing equations of suffusion and leakage respectively, these limitations hinder the effective application of continuum medium theory to accurately simulate the entire process of large-scale seepage erosion phenomenon. In view of this, based on the principle of representative volume element (RVE), this study adopts the well-validated CFD-DEM method to simulate a series of erosion unit tests that require only conventional computational costs. Through upscaling of particle-scale microscopic data, three common erosional modes are revealed: stable suffusion, catastrophic suffusion, and continuous leakage. Correspondingly, the governing equations, comprising the suffusion critical equation, suffusion constitutive equation, catastrophe critical equation and catastrophe constitutive equation, are determined to enable a closed-loop description of these erosional modes. Additionally, the erosional correlation of fundamental physical quantities is analysed, and further the physical principles and mathematical structures of governing equations are clarified by establishing mechanical models based on conceptions of suffusion and leakage resistances. This study provides a conceptual framework and logical derivation pathway for establishment of erosion governing equations in the future.
在地下结构破坏引起渗流侵蚀的情况下,从渗透到泄漏的转变(即渗透突变)是一种特别典型和复杂的现象,值得重视。然而,目前对这两种侵蚀行为的研究在很大程度上仍然是孤立的,导致对驱动渗透灾难的潜在机制的理解不足,因此缺乏其方程描述。再加上扩散控制方程和泄漏控制方程各自存在的理论缺陷,这些局限性阻碍了连续介质理论在精确模拟大规模渗流侵蚀现象全过程中的有效应用。鉴于此,本研究基于代表性体积元(representative volume element, RVE)原理,采用经过验证的CFD-DEM方法,对一系列侵蚀单元试验进行模拟,只需常规计算成本。通过对颗粒尺度微观数据的放大,揭示了三种常见的侵蚀模式:稳定扩散、突变扩散和连续泄漏。相应地,确定了控制方程,包括扩散临界方程、扩散本构方程、突变临界方程和突变本构方程,以实现对这些侵蚀模式的闭环描述。此外,分析了基本物理量的侵蚀相关性,并进一步通过建立基于渗透阻力和泄漏阻力概念的力学模型,阐明了控制方程的物理原理和数学结构。本研究为今后建立侵蚀控制方程提供了概念框架和逻辑推导途径。

The mechanical characteristics of clayey sands are crucial for evaluating behaviors pertinent to temperature-related geotechnical engineering. The undrained triaxial shear response of clayey sands, characterized by a constant skeleton void ratio, is experimentally investigated under varying fines contents, temperatures, and initial mean effective stresses. The effects of fines content and temperature on heating induced volumetric strain, peak deviatoric stress, peak excess pore water pressure, stress ratio at the undrained instability state, and collapsibility index are comprehensively investigated. Furthermore, a unified critical state line is proposed in the equivalent intergranular void ratio versus mean effective stress plane for clean sands, sand-slit mixtures, and sand-clay mixtures, irrespective of temperature. Additionally, the equivalent intergranular state parameter can be utilized to predict the mechanical responses of binary mixtures under both undrained instability state and critical state. It is valuable to use the equivalent skeleton void ratio to assess the stability in thermally influenced geotechnical engineering involving binary mixtures, particularly sand-dominated mixtures.

To address the dual challenges of areca waste disposal and subgrade performance enhancement, this study explores the feasibility of using areca fibers (AFs) as a sustainable reinforcement material for soft clay in transportation infrastructure. A series of consolidated undrained (CU) triaxial shear tests and cyclic triaxial tests were conducted to evaluate the static and dynamic behavior of AFs-reinforced soils under varying compaction conditions. In addition, a life cycle assessment (LCA) based carbon–force integrated evaluation model was established to quantify the carbon reduction benefits of AFs-reinforced soil in subgrade replacement applications. Experimental results show that under high compaction conditions, incorporating 2% AFs increases the shear strength of soil by 17% and the secant modulus by 65%. Under cyclic loading, the inclusion of AFs effectively restrains particle displacement and improves the dynamic stability of the soil. The LCA results indicate that AFs-reinforced soil achieves a carbon emission reduction exceeding 8.1% during the material production and construction stages, demonstrating clear environmental advantages. Comprehensive evaluation results reveal that soil reinforced with 2% AFs achieves the best balance between mechanical performance and carbon emissions, making it a promising alternative for sustainable subgrade engineering. This study offers both theoretical insights and practical guidance for the resource utilization of areca waste in geotechnical engineering, with a particular focus on its application in sustainable subgrade construction using AFs-reinforced soils.
为了解决槟榔废弃物处理和提高路基性能的双重挑战,本研究探讨了在交通基础设施中使用槟榔纤维(AFs)作为软粘土可持续增强材料的可行性。通过一系列固结不排水(CU)三轴剪切试验和循环三轴试验,对不同压实条件下afs加筋土的静动力特性进行了评价。此外,建立了基于生命周期评价(LCA)的碳力综合评价模型,量化了afs加筋土在路基置换应用中的减碳效益。试验结果表明,在高压实条件下,添加2%的AFs可使土体抗剪强度提高17%,割线模量提高65%。循环荷载作用下,AFs的加入有效抑制了颗粒位移,提高了土体的动力稳定性。LCA结果表明,afs加筋土在材料生产和施工阶段的碳减排超过8.1%,具有明显的环境优势。综合评价结果表明,2% AFs加筋土在力学性能和碳排放之间达到了最佳平衡,是一种很有前景的可持续路基工程替代方案。本研究为槟榔废弃物在岩土工程中的资源化利用,特别是在afs加筋土可持续路基建设中的应用提供了理论见解和实践指导。

Unsealed roads make up over 65% of Australia’s transport network and are prone to surface deterioration, such as corrugation, especially under dry climatic conditions. Corrugation formation is closely associated with progressive shear failure in the surface layer, often exacerbated by moisture loss. Crushed rock class IV material is widely used for unsealed road construction in Australia. The unsaturated shear strength behaviour of this material has not been characterised properly. This study presents a systematic experimental investigation into the unsaturated properties of compacted crushed rock class IV, focusing on the role of degree of saturation and fines content. Laboratory indirect tensile and direct shear tests were conducted on specimens compacted at optimum moisture content and subsequently dried back to a wide range of saturation levels. Results demonstrate a strongly nonlinear relationship between shear strength and degree of saturation, with cohesion peaking at intermediate saturation (around 40 %–50 %) and diminishing under both very dry and near-saturated states. The apparent friction angle increased with drying, reaching a peak at fully dry conditions. Comparison of fines-included and fines-removed specimens highlights the critical role of fines in generating suction-related cohesion and maintaining structural stability, as the specimens containing fines exhibited higher unsaturated cohesion. Nonlinear failure envelopes and an empirical Gaussian-based cohesion model are proposed to capture saturation-dependent behaviour, addressing limitations of conventional linear Mohr–Coulomb analyses. Practically, the results suggest that maintaining moisture within intermediate ranges and preserving fines during grading are essential strategies for improving the durability and performance of unsealed roads.
未密封的道路占澳大利亚交通网的65%以上,在干燥的气候条件下,道路表面容易恶化,如起皱。波纹的形成与表层的渐进剪切破坏密切相关,通常因水分损失而加剧。碎石IV级材料广泛用于澳大利亚的非密封道路施工。这种材料的非饱和抗剪强度特性还没有得到适当的表征。本研究对IV类压实碎石的非饱和特性进行了系统的实验研究,重点研究了饱和度和细粒含量的作用。在实验室进行了间接拉伸和直接剪切试验,对在最佳含水率下压实的样品进行了测试,然后将其干燥到大范围的饱和水平。结果表明,抗剪强度与饱和程度之间存在强烈的非线性关系,黏聚力在中等饱和状态(约40% - 50%)达到峰值,在非常干燥和近饱和状态下都逐渐减弱。表观摩擦角随干燥而增大,在完全干燥条件下达到峰值。通过对含细颗粒和不含细颗粒试件的比较,可以看出细颗粒在产生与吸力相关的黏聚力和维持结构稳定性方面的关键作用,含细颗粒的试件表现出更高的非饱和黏聚力。提出了非线性失效包络和基于经验高斯的内聚模型来捕获与饱和相关的行为,解决了传统线性莫尔-库仑分析的局限性。实际上,结果表明,在分级过程中保持水分在中间范围内和保留细粒是提高非密封道路耐久性和性能的基本策略。

This paper presents an artificial intelligence (AI)-based approach to automate the structural health monitoring (SHM) of railway ballast through the fusion of long short-term memory and XGBoost (LSTM-XGB) to surface temperature data derived from infrared thermal images. In this context, machine learning models are trained using remotely acquired surface temperature data to classify fouling index based on thermal variations within ballast aggregates captured from thermograms. The long short-term memory (LSTM) component processes sequential time-series thermal data to predict preceding values, and the XGBoost (XGB) component classifies fouled ballast conditions based on identified patterns of surface temperature variations measured via infrared thermography (IRT). The results confirm the capability of the LSTM component to capture the time-series variations of a specimen’s surface temperature in a shorter timeframe as well as the superior performance of XGBoost compared to a random forest (RF) approach, in classifying fouled ballast conditions. Therefore, the LSTM-XGB model demonstrates higher efficiency compared to the standalone XGBoost model, since the predictive nature of LSTM over time-series temperature data enables capturing shorter time window for measuring ballast surface temperature and identifying patterns. Moreover, establishing a coarser classification of ballast fouling (categorized into three groups instead of five) significantly improves the model capability for accurate assessment of the ballast fouling conditions.
本文提出了一种基于人工智能(AI)的铁路道砟结构健康监测方法,该方法将长短期记忆和XGBoost (LSTM-XGB)技术与红外热像的表面温度数据相融合,实现了道砟结构健康监测的自动化。在这种情况下,机器学习模型使用远程获取的表面温度数据进行训练,以根据从热图中捕获的压载物骨料内的热变化对污垢指数进行分类。长短期记忆(LSTM)组件处理连续时间序列热数据来预测之前的值,XGBoost (XGB)组件根据红外热像仪(IRT)测量的表面温度变化模式对污染的压舱状况进行分类。结果证实了LSTM组件能够在更短的时间内捕获样品表面温度的时间序列变化,并且与随机森林(RF)方法相比,XGBoost在分类受污染的压舱条件方面具有优越的性能。因此,与独立的XGBoost模型相比,LSTM- xgb模型显示出更高的效率,因为LSTM对时间序列温度数据的预测特性可以捕获更短的时间窗口来测量压载水表面温度并识别模式。此外,建立更粗略的压载污垢分类(将压载污垢分为三组而不是五组)显著提高了模型准确评估压载污垢状况的能力。

However, when modeling pavements, subsoil characteristics are not given much importance recently, and the subsoil is often modeled by simple linear elasticity. In this work, a hypoplastic material model capable of accurately describing the behavior of cohesionless soils, is used to model the subsoil response. Additionally, the calibration of the hypoplastic model to obtain material parameters is described. Further, the logarithmic strain approach to extend this model to finite deformations is detailed, and the incorporation of this material model into a dynamic ALE formulation is explained. Finally, the results of a transient simulation of the pavement response, when subjected to a moving load, are provided.
最近的研究表明,可以利用任意拉格朗日欧拉(ALE)公式来提高模拟受移动荷载作用的结构(如人行道)的效率。然而,目前在路面建模中,地基土特性并未得到重视,地基土模型多采用简单的线弹性模型。在这项工作中,一个能够准确描述无黏性土壤行为的低塑性材料模型被用来模拟底土的响应。此外,还描述了对发育不良模型进行校正以获得材料参数的方法。此外,详细介绍了将该模型扩展到有限变形的对数应变方法,并解释了将该材料模型纳入动态ALE公式的方法。最后,给出了在移动荷载作用下路面响应的瞬态仿真结果。

Rack railways are increasingly adopted in mountainous transportation networks due to their ability to operate on steep gradients. The gear-rack meshing mechanism introduces additional complexity to the train-track dynamic response. During downhill braking, the combined action of longitudinal braking forces and gravity may destabilize ballast and deform the track structure. This study investigates the dynamic characteristics of ballasted track in rack railways under downhill braking using full-scale field tests and a Multi-Body Dynamics-Discrete Element Method (MBD-DEM) simulation. First, full-scale field tests were carried out on a 120 ‰ gradient rack test line. Using conventional track condition monitoring sensors together with SmartRock sensors, we measured the wheel-rail forces, the accelerations of the rack and rail, the dynamic responses of the sleepers, and the mesoscopic dynamic behavior of ballast particles during emergency braking with different initial train speeds. Subsequently, in order to evaluate the system responses under different gradient levels and a wider range of operating conditions, and to examine in more detail the mesoscopic mechanical behavior within the ballast bed, an MBD-DEM coupled simulation model consistent with the test line was developed. Based on this model, response surface methodology was adopted to analyze the effects of gradient, train speed and braking deceleration on the track system. Results show that downhill braking induces significant axle load redistribution and longitudinal force imbalance. Higher gradients and braking loads exacerbate ballast instability. Response surface analysis indicates that gradient is the dominant factor governing longitudinal sleeper displacement. When gradients exceed 240 ‰, localized ballast instability occurs. Although sleeper displacements remain within the 2 mm safety threshold under the tested conditions, higher gradients or speeds are likely to increase track deformation and structural instability risks.
由于能够在陡峭的坡度上运行,轨道铁路在山区交通网络中越来越多地被采用。齿轮齿条啮合机构给列车-轨道动态响应带来了额外的复杂性。在下坡制动过程中,纵向制动力和重力的共同作用可能导致道砟失稳和轨道结构变形。采用全尺寸现场试验和多体动力学离散元法(MBD-DEM)仿真研究了下坡制动条件下有碴轨道的动力特性。首先,在120‰坡度机架试验线上进行了全尺寸现场试验。利用传统的轨道状态监测传感器和SmartRock传感器,测量了不同初始列车速度下紧急制动时的轮轨力、齿条和轨道加速度、轨枕的动态响应以及道砟颗粒的细观动态行为。随后,为了评估系统在不同梯度水平和更大范围工况下的响应,并更详细地检查压载床内的细观力学行为,建立了与试验线一致的MBD-DEM耦合仿真模型。在此基础上,采用响应面法分析了坡度、列车速度和制动减速度对轨道系统的影响。结果表明,下坡制动引起了明显的轴重分布和纵向力不平衡。更高的坡度和制动载荷加剧了压载物的不稳定性。响应面分析表明,坡度是影响轨枕纵向位移的主要因素。当坡度超过240‰时,发生局部压舱失稳。尽管在测试条件下,轨枕位移保持在2毫米的安全阈值内,但较高的坡度或速度可能会增加轨道变形和结构不稳定的风险。

The moisture content (MC) was a critical parameter that needed to be monitored in geomaterial compaction. Nuclear density gauges (NDGs) had been the practice in MC and density measurement for decades but had become less desirable due to cost, regulatory, and safety concerns. Meanwhile, lightweight deflectometers (LWDs), proposed as an alternative to NDGs, did not have a function of MC measurement. This study aimed to identify a rapid field moisture analyzer to work with LWDs for evaluating the compaction acceptance of unbound materials in situ. The study started with evaluating the effectiveness and practicability of two existing moisture analyzers recommended in references, including Aggrameter and Ohaus MB 120. After the limitations of these two analyzers were identified, a further improvement on the basis of Ohaus MB 120 was conducted to develop a rapid field moisture measurement unit. Validation through field tests demonstrated that the unit effectively mitigated field disturbances and accurately measured soil MCs. Furthermore, two key parameters during the measuring process (i.e., drying weight and switch-off criterion) were investigated to optimize the accuracy and efficiency of the new unit. The drying weights of soil samples (i.e., 10 g and 30 g for non-gravel and gravel soils, respectively) and a moderate switch-off criterion were recommended for the new unit.
含水率是岩土材料压实过程中需要监测的关键参数。核密度计(NDGs)在MC和密度测量中已经使用了几十年,但由于成本、监管和安全方面的考虑,它变得不那么理想。同时,轻量级偏转计(lwd)作为NDGs的替代方案,不具有MC测量功能。本研究旨在确定一种与lwd一起工作的快速现场水分分析仪,以评估原位未粘结材料的压实接受度。本研究首先评估了参考文献中推荐的两种现有水分分析仪的有效性和实用性,包括Aggrameter和Ohaus MB 120。在确定了这两种分析仪的局限性后,在Ohaus MB 120的基础上进行了进一步改进,开发了一种快速的现场水分测量装置。通过现场试验验证,该装置有效地减轻了现场干扰,并准确地测量了土壤mc。此外,对测量过程中的两个关键参数(即干燥重量和关闭准则)进行了研究,以优化新装置的精度和效率。土壤样品的干燥重量(即,非砾石和砾石土分别为10克和30克)和适度的关闭标准被推荐用于新装置。

Investigation of particle migration and drainage behavior in railway ballast induced by multiphase flow using a coupled VOF-DEM approach 基于耦合VOF-DEM方法的多相流诱导铁路道砟颗粒迁移与排水特性研究

Railway ballast is a crucial component of rail tracks and plays a vital role in various functions, with drainage being one of the most important for maintaining the track’s operation ability. Over time, ballast degradation and accumulation of foreign materials result in fouling, which blocks the interstitial spaces and flow passage between ballasts, thereby significantly reducing drainage efficiency. To investigate the interaction between fouling and fluid flow and its effect on fine particle migration and drainage, a coupled discrete element method (DEM) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model capable of solving multiphase fluid flow is developed, aiming to advance the understanding of the relevant transport behavior. The discrete (particle) and the continuous (water and air) phases are resolved using a Lagrangian and a Eulerian approach, respectively. Then, the model is employed to investigate multiphase fluid flow that washes away fouled materials through the ballast aggregate for different parameters, including fouling index, fouling profile, cohesive energy density (CED) between particles, and shoulder cleaning. This parametric simulation offers comprehensive insights into the interplay between the multiphase flow and fine particles within ballast at different conditions. Moreover, the particle distribution and their migrations over time are quantitatively evaluated using the Local Fouling Index. It is evident from the analysis that particle migration greatly depends on the parameters under consideration, with the CED value being the most important factor. Additionally, the comparison of the water table height demonstrates that shoulder cleaning is an effective means of improving drainage efficiency.
铁路道砟是铁路轨道的重要组成部分,在各种功能中起着至关重要的作用,其中排水是维持轨道运行能力的重要因素之一。随着时间的推移,压载物的降解和外来物质的积累导致结垢,堵塞了压载物之间的间隙和流通通道,从而大大降低了排水效率。为了研究污垢与流体流动之间的相互作用及其对细颗粒迁移和排水的影响,建立了一种能够求解多相流体流动的耦合离散元法(DEM)和计算流体动力学(CFD)模型,旨在促进对相关输运行为的理解。离散相(粒子相)和连续相(水和空气相)分别用拉格朗日和欧拉方法求解。然后,利用该模型研究了不同参数(污垢指数、污垢剖面、颗粒间内聚能密度和肩部清洁度)下多相流体通过压载骨料冲走污垢的流动情况。该参数化模拟提供了对不同条件下压舱内多相流与细颗粒之间相互作用的全面洞察。此外,利用局部污染指数定量评价了颗粒分布及其随时间的迁移。从分析中可以看出,粒子的迁移很大程度上取决于所考虑的参数,其中CED值是最重要的因素。此外,水位高度的对比表明,肩部清洗是提高排水效率的有效手段。
