Using a test run data, the dynamics of the interface between the catenary and pantograph constituting the current collection system in high-speed trains are investigated. The test run signals are analyzed to determine the dynamic parameters critical to the current collection performance. There are found to be frequency components of the pantograph motion that are dependent on train speed as well as components that are stationary such as the resonant mode of the panhead suspension in the pantograph. From contact force measurement using load cell, the mean contact force was found to be stable while the fluctuating component was found to be dependent on the range of the frequency of the pantograph motion taken into account. The finding implies that numerical investigations reported in the literature that are based on lumped element models of the catenary and/or pantograph provide accurate predictions on the mean value but are of limited use in estimating fluctuation of the contact force. It is concluded that simulation studies based on lumped-element models which do not incorporate panhead structural vibration modes is inaccurate at high train speeds.

To increase speed up of train, in the field of catenary system, it is necessary to develop of new monitoring methods for dynamic interaction between pantograph and contact wire. Also, there is a need to develop technologies that constantly measure are from various railway structure such as uplift of contact wire, vibration of catenary, dynamic strain of contact line in tunnel. In this paper condition monitoring systems for dynamic performance of catenary systems in tunnel were proposed. An advanced method and results of field tests using high speed camera for monitoring of vertical upward movement of the grooved contact wire due to the force produced from the pantograph were presented. The proposed uplift measurement system of contact wire is expected to enhance precision of current collection quality performance assessment methods at high-speed lines.

Described in this paper are the dynamic model and the dynamic performance of catenary-pantograph system for TGV-K(maximum operating speed of 300km/hr). Dynamic simulations showed that the system satisfies the performance criteria such as contact loss ratio, contact force and lift-off of the contact wire. It is also shown by the simulations that the dynamic behavior and contact performance of the system at the operating speed of 350km/hr are found unacceptable. Design parameters of the catenary-pantograph system should be optimized for the speed-up of the TGV-K.

A parallel condensation algorithm for efficient dynamic analysis of three-dimensional large-scale structures is presented. The algorithm is developed for a user-friendly and cost effective high-performance computing system on a collection of Pentium processors connected via a 100 Mb/s Ethernet LAN. To harness the parallelism in the computing system effectively, a large-scale structure is partitioned into a number of substructures equal to the number of computers in the computing system Then, for reduction in the size of an eigenvalue problem the computations required for static condensation of each substructure is processed concurrently on each slave computer. The performance of th proposed parallel algorithm is demonstrated by applying to dynamic analysis of a three dimensional structure. The results show that how the parallel algorithm facilitates the efficient use of a small number of low-cost personal computers for dynamic analysis of large-scale structures.

Crime is not a completely random event but rather shows a pattern in space and time. Capturing the dynamic nature of crime patterns is a challenging task. Crime prediction models that rely only on neighborhood influence and demographic features might not be able to capture the dynamics of crime patterns, as demographic data collection does not occur frequently and is static. This work proposes a novel approach for crime count and hotspot prediction to capture the dynamic nature of crime patterns using taxi data along with historical crime and demographic data. The proposed approach predicts crime events in spatial units and classifies each of them into a hotspot category based on the number of crime events. Four models are proposed, which consider different covariates to select a set of independent variables. The experimental results show that the proposed combined subset model (CSM), in which static and dynamic aspects of crime are combined by employing the taxi dataset, is more accurate than the other models presented in this study.

Web crawler should maintain fresh data with minimum server overhead for large amount of data in the web sites. The overhead in the server increases rapidly as the amount of data is exploding as in the big data era. The amount of web information is increasing rapidly with advanced wireless networks and emergence of diverse smart devices. Furthermore, the information is continuously being produced and updated in anywhere and anytime by means of easy web platforms, and smart devices. Now, it is becoming a hot issue how frequently updated web data has to be refreshed in data collection and integration. In this paper, we propose dynamic web-data crawling methods, which include sensitive checking of web site changes, and dynamic retrieving of web pages from target web sites based on historical update patterns. Furthermore, we implemented a Java-based web crawling application and compared efficiency between conventional static approaches and our dynamic one. Our experiment results showed 46.2% overhead benefits with more fresh data compared to the static crawling methods.

As the size of embedded system software increase bigger and bigger, and it's complexity is grower and grower, the usage of dynamic memory management scheme such collector also has been increased. Using the garbage collector, however, inherently lead us performance degradation. In order to resolve this kind of performance problem in the Java based embedded system. we introduce an explicit dynamic memory free method to the automated dynamic memory management environment. which can be performed by a programmer. In the worst case, the prosed scheme shows the same performance as the case of that only garbage collector is working, since the unclaimed garbage objects will eventually be collected later by the garbage collector. In the best case. our method is free from any runtime overhead because the applications can be implemented without any intervention of the garbage collector. Although the proposed method can be facilitated with all the existing garbage collection algorithms, it shows an outperform in the case of mark-and-sweep algorithm.

The use of final IGS precise orbit and clock products for high-rate GNSS-PPP proved its effectiveness in capturing dynamic displacement of engineering structures caused by earthquakes. However, the main drawback of using the final products is that they are available after approximately two weeks of data collection, which is not suitable for timely measures after an event. In this study, the use of ultra-rapid products (observed part), which are available after a few hours of data collection, and rapid products, which are available in less than 24 hrs, are investigated and their results are compared to the more precise final products. The tests are designed such that harmonic oscillations with different frequencies and amplitudes and ground motion of a simulated real earthquake are generated using a single axis shake table and the PPP was used to capture these movements by monitoring time-change of the table positions. To evaluate the accuracy of PPP using ultra-rapid, rapid and final products, their results were compared with relative GNSS positioning and LVDT (Linear Variable Differential Transformer) data, treated as reference. The results show that the high-rate GNSS-PPP solutions based on the three products can capture frequencies of harmonic oscillations and dynamic displacement with good accuracy. There were slight differences between ultra-rapid, rapid and final products, where some of the tested events indicated that the latter two produced are more accurate and provide better results compared to the ultra-rapid product for monitoring short-term dynamic displacements.

The ancient underground cities are a collection of self-supporting spaces that have been manually excavated in the soil or rock in the past. Because these structures have a very high cultural value due to their age, the study of their stability under the influence of natural hazards, such as earthquakes, is very important. In this research, while introducing the underground city of Ouyi Nushabad located in the center of Iran as one of the largest man-made underground cities of the old world, the analysis of dynamic stability is performed. For this purpose, the dynamic stress-displacement analysis has been performed through numerical modeling using the finite element software PLAXIS. At this stage, by simulating the Khorgo earthquake as one of the large-scale earthquakes that occurred in Iran, with a magnitude of 6.9 on the Richter scale, dynamic analysis by time history method has been performed on three selected sections of underground spaces. This study shows that the maximum amount of horizontal and vertical dynamic displacement is 12.9 cm and 17.7 cm, respectively, which was obtained in section 2. The comparison of the results shows that by increasing the cross-sectional area of the excavation, especially the distance between the roof and the floor, in addition to increasing the amount of horizontal and vertical dynamic displacement, the obtained maximum acceleration is intensified compared to the mapping acceleration applied to the model floor. Therefore, preventive actions should be taken to stabilize the excavations in order to prevent damage caused by a possible earthquake.

A 400km/h simple catenary system was constructed as a test line in Korea. In the design stage of this system, the pre-sag was one of the engineering issues most focused on. It is known that the pre-sag improves the current collection performance in a certain band of high speed. However, the effect of pre-sag at 400km/h has not yet been established. To grasp a better pre-sag in the 400km/h catenary, we transacted the dynamic performance prediction simulation between catenary and pantograph under conditions of 0 and 1/3000 pre-sag. The level of 0 pre-sag was adapted for the 400km/h catenary design after reviewing predictions. We constituted the 1/3000 pre-sag sample section (about 1km) while constructing the 400km/h catenary test-bed (28km) of 0 pre-sag. With a HEMU-430X train, the contact forces were measured in the test-bed including the pre-sag sample section. In this paper, the predicted and measured dynamic performance values (contact forces) for 0 and 1/3000 pre-sag are described and compared. It is conclusively confirmed by analytical and experimental examination that the non pre-sag showed better dynamic (current collection) performance than that of the 1/3000 pre-sag for the 400km/h catenary system.
