The axle-group weigh-in-motion system has two functions: static weighing and dynamic weighing. According to the weighing model, the accuracy of dynamic weighing is affected by the static performance. This paper analyses the size of various factors affecting the static performance, such as sensor tilt installation, platform deformation, platform tilt installation, and these errors will lead to sensor swing, bearing head tilt, gravity line of action and sensor axis direction is not consistent, thus affecting the static weighing accuracy. However static calibration is the best way to reduce or even eliminate the above errors. The dynamic truck scale of different manufacturers with or without static calibration is used in the test process. The results show that the dynamic performance index can meet the requirements only after the static calibration is used.

Under the condition of dynamic weighing, the support types of the column load cells can be divided into elastic support and oscillation support. The weighing system with oscillation support shows significant vibration characteristics, which affects the weighing accuracy and the fatigue life of the load sensor. In this paper, the dynamic characteristics of the oscillation supporting column load cell in low speed axle-group weigh-in-motion system are analysed. It is found that the restoring force of the oscillation support is approximately proportional to the oscillation angle and the applied vertical load. The dynamic equation of the oscillation support vibration of the column load cells established by means of d’Alembert principle. The numerical calculations of the dynamic response of the weighing system with oscillation support are carried out in the free state and dynamic weighing state respectively. The factors affecting the amplitude and recovery time of the support vibration are obtained. This study provides a reference for the analysis of the dynamic weighing accuracy.

The present paper focuses on the numerical modeling of a weigh-in-motion system developed with the purpose of assessing the static loads imposed by the train onto the track infrastructure. Weigh-in-motion systems would be useful in overcoming the disadvantages typical of the conventional static weighing such as costs and traffic management. However, contrary to the conventional static weighing, weigh-in-motion systems do not allow a direct measurement of the static load since the train–track dynamic interaction gives rise to dynamic loads that are added to the static ones. This study investigates how train speed and track unevenness affect the loads assessed by the weigh-in-motion system. In order to achieve that goal, a comprehensive statistical study was performed based on an extensive amount of calculations. Finally, based on the conclusions and trend identified through the comprehensive parametric study, an approach is proposed to correct the direct result given by the weigh-in-motion system in order to obtain an estimation of the static load.

The dynamic weighing technology is multi-domain comprehensive technology, including the mechanics of materials, dynamics, the technology of sensor, the technology of electronic information and so on. Vehicle weigh-in-motion system is a detection system which is used to measure the weight of the moving vehicle. With the development of the transport industry output and commercial trade, Vehicle weigh-in-motion technology is playing a more and more important role. At the same time, the accuracy of the weigh-in-motion data has become the centre of attention. In this paper, use the method of least square and polynomial fitting and the MATLAB mathematical software, by studying and analyzing a mass of weigh-in-motion data,the fitting curve of the vehicle weigh in different speeds is obtained. According the variation law of fitting curve, further improvement need to do in certain standard and weigh carefully as to the true quality when the vehicle is in some speed region.

Roads and bridges are designed to meet the transportation demands for traffic volume and loading. Knowledge of the actual traffic is needed for a rational management of highway infrastructure. There are various procedures and equipment for measuring truck weight, including static and in weigh-in-motion techniques. This paper aims to compare four systems: portable scale, stationary truck weigh station, pavement weigh-in-motion system (WIM), and bridge weigh-in-motion system (B-WIM). The first two are reliable, but they have limitations as they can measure only a small fraction of the highway traffic. Weigh-in-motion (WIM) measurements allow for a continuous recording of vehicles. The presented study database was obtained at a location that allowed for recording the same traffic using all four measurement systems. For individual vehicles captured on a portable scale, the results were directly compared with the three other systems’ measurements. The conclusion is that all four systems produce the results that are within the required and expected accuracy. The recommendation for an application depends on other constraints such as continuous measurement, installation and operation costs, and traffic obstruction.

Concrete-encased CFST (concrete-filled steel tube) is a kind of composite structure comprised of a CFST component and a reinforced concrete (RC) component. The concrete encased CFST possesses superior ductility and higher stiffness. They are gaining popularity in high-rise buildings, large-span structures, bridges, subway stations and workshops. This paper initially reviews the recent research on concrete-encased CFST structures. The major research findings on bond performance, static performance, dynamic performance and fire resistance are presented. This paper also outlines some construction considerations, such as the utilization of materials, the fabrication of the steel tube, and the methods of casting the inner and outer concrete. Finally, some typical practical projects utilizing concrete-encased CFST members are presented and reviewed.

In order to improve the dynamic performance of inverter and the output voltage waveform quality, the double-loop control combination with internal current loop and external voltage loop is introduced. The inner loop is used for improving the dynamic performance of the system and rapidly eliminating the effects of load disturbance; the outer loop is used for improving static performance of the system. In the end, MATLAB / Simulink is carried out to build the system model and prove the feasibility of the dual closed-loop control structure in this paper.

Variable structure strategies have shown an efficient performance in controlling nonlinear electrical power systems by reason of its strength to handle perfectly the unmodeled system dynamics. In this study, with the exponent reaching law, a robust enhancement method of sliding mode controller (SMC) based on a nonlinear fractional order sliding surface that consists of both fractional differentiation and integration is proposed and applied to control a high-power multiphase permanent magnet synchronous generator based direct-driven Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS), in order to improve the energy efficiency and reduce the produced chattering phenomenon of conventional SMC . Moreover, a new smooth and derivable nonlinear switching control function is applied to replace the traditional non-derivable nonlinear control law, to improve dynamic performance, static performance, and robustness of the system. The proposed strategy stability is investigated under Lyapunov theory. A comparative simulation of the new proposed approach with the conventional SMC and PI controller display the excellent performance, stability and high robustness of FOSMC, by improving the system efficiency up to 98.66%, compared to conventional SMC with 91,14%, while the PI control achieves 86, 2%.
