    For tip clearance measurement,a multi-section tip clearance measurement and verification simulation rotor test bench is established,and multi-channel tip clearance online measurement software is developed. First,tip clearance is measured using a customized dual-fiber sensor based on laser triangulation. Second,a high-precision displacement platform is utilized to change the tip clearance value,and accurate tip clearance values are measured at different rotational speeds. Last,to address the trigger threshold voltage issue of the acquisition card for measuring tip clearance with dual-fiber sensors,a multi-channel integrated voltage comparator has been designed,which eliminates the time difference on the order of 10-5 s caused by simultaneous measurement of the two channels of the dual-fiber sensor. The results show that,based on the tip timing principle,the tip clearance can be calculated by measuring only the arrival time of the tip. The mean error of each set of clearances is within 5%,and the standard deviation of the tip clearance measurements in each group is less than 22 µm,demonstrating the accuracy and repeatability of the tip clearance measurement system.

    Wind tunnel pressure tests are conducted on a high-speed railway station roof to study the non-Gaussian characteristics and extreme wind pressure distribution on the long-span roof surface. First,the surface wind pressure is classified into Gaussian and non-Gaussian distributions. Then,the fitting effects of three different single probability distributions (Gumbel,Lognormal,and Weibull) and their corresponding combined distributions (double Gumbel,double Lognormal,and double Weibull) on the wind pressure time history of the roof surface are compared. The extreme wind pressures obtained from the combined probability distributions are compared with the estimates from the modified Hermite method. Finally,the extreme wind pressure distribution on the roof under all wind directions is presented. The results show that the combined probability distributions provide a better fit to the wind pressure time history than the single distributions. The extreme value estimates from each combined distribution at the same guarantee rate are more accurate than those from the single distribution. The combined distributions generally yield better estimates at the 99.90% guarantee rate compared to the modified Hermite method. The extreme wind pressure varies significantly with the wind direction,and under all wind directions,the minimum pressure coefficient reaches its lowest value at the middle of the roof edge side,reaching -5.9.

    To investigate the data-driven evolution of rail corrugation in subways,a spatio-temporally dense measurement method is proposed for rapid detection. First,high-precision sensors are used to measure car-body vibration,collecting triaxial acceleration data. Second,vehicle speed and mileage position are estimated by fusing triaxial vibration acceleration from different car bodies. Then,the vertical vibration acceleration of the car body is decomposed via wavelet packet analysis,and a vibration energy ratio index is defined as the ratio of the energy in the characteristic frequency band excited by rail corrugation wavelength to the total vibration energy. The vibration energy ratio threshold is set to automatically identify rail corrugation and output mileage information. Finally,the corrugation wavelength is derived from the ratio of vehicle speed to characteristic frequency,and the relationship between vibration energy ratio and corrugation amplitude is analyzed. Results show that using a vibration energy ratio threshold of 0.2 yields corrugation mileage distribution consistent with that from noise-based identification,and the calculated corrugation wavelength matches the measured value of 175 mm from a corrugation analyzer. Statistical clustering reveals that the relationship between rail corrugation amplitude and vibration energy ratio is not purely linear. Line-wide rapid detection shows that non-corrugated sections account for 76.56% of the track,while corrugation sections account for 23.44%. Among the corrugated sections,those with wavelengths below 60 mm dominate (77.88%),whereas those above 60 mm account for 22.12%.

    A parameter identification method is proposed to accurately capture the nonlinear dynamic characteristics of dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs). First,the response signal of the actuator is acquired under swept-frequency excitation using the time-frequency analysis capability of the transient-extracting transform (TET). Then,the harmonic and fundamental frequency components are separated and extracted,and the transfer functions for each component are computed to derive the overall transfer function of the DEA. Finally,the results are compared with experimental data. The proposed method achieves a fitting accuracy of 92.11% for the fundamental frequency transfer function and 90.35% for the second harmonic transfer function. This approach does not require prior knowledge of material properties or free energy density functions,and incorporates the influence of high-order harmonic components,offering a novel solution for parameter identification in electroactive material structures.

    To address the issue of metallic objects around a balise affecting its electromagnetic transmission performance,a balise antenna model is established in electromagnetic simulation software. The simulation experiments are carried out by varying three parameters:the metal surface area,the vertical distance between the metal surface and the balise,and the metal surface thickness. The uplink signal amplitude curves of the balise under different parameters are obtained,and the transmission performance metrics are calculated to analyze the impact. Results show that: a larger metal surface area leads to lower performance metrics,such as a reduced number of safety message frames received by the balise transmission module (BTM),with a more significant degradation and greater interference from the sidelobe region. When the metal area is greater than 320 mm×320 mm,the uplink field strength consistency requirement can no longer be met. A greater absolute distance between the metal surface and the balise results in less interference from the sidelobe region,and the distance must be greater than 123 mm to satisfy the field strength consistency requirement. Increased metal surface thickness causes greater interference from the sidelobe region,and the thickness should not exceed 1 mm.

    The friction block of high-speed train brake pads exist in two configurations: holed and non-holed. To investigate the influence of the holed structure on the braking performance,drag braking tests using both types of friction blocks are carried out on a self-developed scaled brake dynamometer for high-speed trains. In addition,finite element simulations are carried out to analyze vibration noise and interface thermal distribution during braking. Experimental and numerical results indicate that the non-holed friction blocks produces continuous self-excited vibration and excites high-intensity squeal noise,whereas the perforated block effectively suppress system instability and reduce squeal noise to some extent. Moreover,the holed structure improves the interfacial thermal distribution,leading to more uniform temperatures on both the friction block surface and the matching brake disc compared to the non-holed blocks.
