  • To study the evaluation standard and control limit of mortar filling layer void length, in this paper, the train sub-model was developed by MATLAB and the track-bridge sub-model considering the mortar filling layer void was established by ANSYS. The two sub-models were assembled into a train-track-bridge coupling dynamic model through the wheel-rail contact relationship, and the validity was corroborated by the coupling dynamic model with the literature model. Considering the randomness of fastening stiffness, mortar elastic modulus, length of mortar filling layer void, and pier settlement, the test points were designed by the Box-Behnken method based on Design-Expert software. The coupled dynamic model was calculated, and the support vector regression (SVR) nonlinear mapping model of the wheel-rail system was established. The learning, prediction, and verification were carried out. Finally, the reliable probability of the amplification coefficient distribution of the response index of the train and structure in different ranges was obtained based on the SVR nonlinear mapping model and Latin hypercube sampling method. The limit of the length of the mortar filling layer void was, thus, obtained. The results show that the SVR nonlinear mapping model developed in this paper has a high fitting accuracy of 0.993, and the computational efficiency is significantly improved by 99.86%. It can be used to calculate the dynamic response of the wheel-rail system. The length of the mortar filling layer void significantly affects the wheel-rail vertical force, wheel weight load reduction ratio, rail vertical displacement, and track plate vertical displacement. The dynamic response of the track structure has a more significant effect on the limit value of the length of the mortar filling layer void than the dynamic response of the vehicle, and the rail vertical displacement is the most obvious. At 250 km/h - 350 km/h train running speed, the limit values of grade I, II, and III of the lengths of the mortar filling layer void are 3.932 m, 4.337 m, and 4.766 m, respectively. The results can provide some reference for the long-term service performance reliability of the ballastless track-bridge system of HRS.

  • Cypermethrin, a commonly used domestic and agricultural pyrethroid pesticide, is widely considered detrimental to the environment and to many organisms because of its residual property and toxicity. Cellulophaga lytica DAU203, isolated from coastal sediment, was chosen because it degrade cypermethrin. Cellulophaga lytica DAU203 effectively degraded cypermethrin, as the utilized carbon source and substrate, in a mineral salt medium. Effective factors, such as carbon source, nitrogen source, initial pH, and temperature, for cypermethtin biological degradation by Cellulophaga lytica DAU203 were analyzed by one factor at a time method. Temperature ($22{\sim}42^{\circ}C$), initial pH (5~9), and yeast extract concentration (0.1~2.5%[w/v]) were selected as the three most important factors. There were optimized at $33.4^{\circ}C$, pH 7.7, and 2.4%(w/v) by response surface methodology, respectively. The Box- Behnken design consisting of 46 experimental runs with three replicates was used to optimize the independent variables which significantly influenced the cypermethrin biological degradation. This model for cypermethrin degradation by Cellulophaga lytica DAU203 is highly significant (p<0.05). Under the optimized condition, Cellulophaga lytica DAU203 degraded approximately 83.7 % of the cypermethrin within 5 days. These results suggest that Cellulophaga lytica DAU203 may be useful for the biological degradation of cypermethrin in cypermethrin-contaminated environments.
