Extensive laboratory tests were conducted to investigate the effect of load amplitude, geogrid position, and number of geogrid layers, thickness of ballast layer and clay stiffness on behavior of reinforced ballast layer and induced strains in geogrid. A half full-scale railway was constructed for carrying out the tests, the model consists of two rails 800 mm in length with three wooden sleepers (900 mm × 10 mm × 10 mm). The ballast was overlying 500 mm thickness clay in two states, soft and stiff state. Laboratory tests were conducted to investigate the response of the ballast and the clay layers where the ballast was reinforced by a geogrid. Settlement in ballast and clay, soil pressure and pore water pressure induced in the clay were measured in reinforced and unreinforced ballast cases. It was concluded that the effect of frequency on the settlement ratio is almost constant after 500 cycles. This is due to that the total settlement after 500 cycles, almost reached its peak value, which means that the ballast particles become very close to each other, so the frequency is less effective for high contact particles forces. The average maximum vertical stress and pore water pressure increased with frequency.

This paper introduces the electronic ballast for high pressure sodium (HPS) lamps which provides power regulation during the whole lamp life without using a closed-loop power control system, in spite of large variations of lamp characteristics resulting from lamp aging. The structure of the electronic ballast and the parameters of HPS lamps are described. A mathematical model for the ballast is developed and used for the design and analysis of the ballast. A design procedure is presented to design the ballast which provides intrinsic power regulation over the whole lamp life. To improve the technical specifications of the ballast, the practical and standard constraints are considered in the design. According to the design procedure, an electronic ballast for 250-W HPS lamps is designed. All theoretical analyses are verified with the help of a semi-industrial experimental setup. The results validate that the designed ballast provides power regulation during the whole lamp life.

This paper describes a design of the external-exciting electronic ballast for 100W high pressure sodium lamp. The ballast is consists of the full-bridge inverter and an external-exciting control circuit. L and C values of an equivalent L-C series resonant circuit are calculated analytically. The electrical output characteristics of the ballast, such as voltage, current etc., are simulated by Pspice. The experimental results from high pressure sodium lamp system with the ballast we developed are shown to be consistent with the simulated results.

This paper shows a structure for an electronic ballast of HID lamps. An electronic ballast for HID lamps usually employs a high-frequency resonant inverter and voltage-to-frequency converter to control the output. A half-bridge and series resonant circuit are chosen for the ballast. The inverter with V/F converter is modeled with a transfer function and a self-feedback controller is proposed. This structure is analyzed and the feedback gain is determined by using the inverter model. Experimental system is built with a commercial 250W high pressure sodium lamp and the results show a validity of the proposed ballast.
