This article describes and discusses railway-traffic simulators that use reflective nested simulations. Such simulations support optimizations (decision-making) with a focus on the selection of the most suitable solution where selected types of traffic problems are present. This approach allows suspension of the ongoing main simulation at a given moment and, by using supportive nested simulations (working with an appropriate lookahead), assessment of the different acceptable solution variants for the problem encountered—that is, a what-if analysis is carried out. The variant that provides the best predicted operational results (based on a specific criterion) is then selected for continuing the suspended main simulation. The proposed procedures are associated, in particular, with the use of sequential simulators specifically developed for railway traffic simulations. Special attention is paid to parallel computations of replications both of the main simulation and of supportive nested simulations. The concept proposed, applicable to railway traffic modelling, has the following advantages. First, the solution variants for the existing traffic situation are analyzed with respect to the feasibility of direct monitoring and evaluation of the natural traffic indicators or the appropriate (multi-criterial) function. The indicator values compare the results obtained from the variants being tested. Second, the supporting nested simulations, which potentially use additional hierarchic nesting, can also include future occurrences of random effects (such as train delay), thereby enabling us to realistically assess future traffic in stochastic conditions. The guidelines presented (for exploiting nested simulations within application projects with time constraints) are illustrated on a simulation case study focusing on traffic assessment related to the track infrastructure of a passenger railway station. Nested simulations support decisions linked with dynamic assignments of platform tracks to delayed trains. The use of reflective nested simulations is appropriate particularly in situations in which a reasonable number of admissible variants are to be analyzed within decision-making problem solution. This method is applicable especially to the support of medium-term (tactical) and long-term (strategic) planning. Because of rather high computational and time demands, nested simulations are not recommended for solving short-term (operative) planning/control problems.

It is the necessary to predict the endurance capability of the mechanical element with its increased application and complexity. The present research work estimates the stress variation and displacement characteristics using finite element analyses of Single Row SKF6205 Deep Groove Ball Bearing under radial and axial loadings. The vibration analyses are evaluated in three aspects; static, modal, and harmonic analysis. The simulations show the variation of stress levels of the bearing in different loads. These results are used to predict the fatigue life, wear rate, and productivity of the ball bearing at various stochastic conditions.

Abstract Small construction objects are often built by standard task teams. The problem is, how to allocate these teams to individual works? To solve the problem of allocation three methods have been developed. The first method allows to designate optimal allocation of teams to the individual works in deterministic conditions of implementation. As a criterion of the optimal allocation can be applied: “the minimization of time” or “the minimization of costs” of works execution. The second method has been developed analogously for both criteria but for stochastic conditions and for the stochastic data. The third method allows to appoint a compromise allocation of teams. In this case, the criteria “the minimization of time” and “the minimization of costs” are considered simultaneously. The method can be applied in deterministic or stochastic conditions of works implementation. The solutions of the allocation problems which have been described allow to designate the optimal allocation of task teams and to determine the schedule and cost of works execution.

In the present work, we discuss the thermoelastic interactions in a half-space in the context of the theory of dual phase-lag thermoelasticity due to stochastic conditions applied at the boundary. We consider a one-dimensional problem with traction-free boundary subjected to two types of time-dependent thermal distributions. The boundary conditions are assumed to be random in nature to make the problem more realistic and the noise added is considered to be white noise. The problem is solved using Laplace transform and short time approximation is used to find the approximate solution for field variables while taking the inverse transforms. The solution for the stochastic case has been obtained by using the concept of a Wiener process and stochastic simulation. Numerical analysis based on stochastic simulation is carried out using copper material along different sample paths and comparative analysis between the deterministic and the stochastic distributions of field variables is presented. Special attention is paid to highlight the effects of considering randomness added to the boundary conditions.

This paper deals with bounded solutions for general time interval one-dimensional backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs for short) with quadratic growth coefficients and stochastic conditions. Several general results of existence, uniqueness, stability and comparison for the bounded solutions are put forward and established, which improve considerably some existing works, even though for the case of finite time interval. Some new ideas are also developed to establish these results.
