Movement of a railway car rolling down a classification hump with a tailwind

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
The purpose of this paper is to calculate kinematic parameters of a railway car moving with a tailwind for designing a classification hump. The calculation of kinematic parameters is based on the d'Alembert principle, and the physical speed and distance ...

Energy harvesting from vehicular traffic over speed bumps: A review [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Energy used by vehicles to slow down in areas of limited speed is wasted. A traffic energy-harvesting device (TEHD) is capable of harvesting vehicle energy when passing over a speed bump. This paper presents a classification of the different technologies

Solitary waves on falling liquid films in the inertia-dominated regime [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We offer new insights and results on the hydrodynamics of solitary waves on inertia-dominated falling liquid films using a combination of experimental measurements, direct numerical simulations (DNS) and low-dimensional (LD) modelling.

Device for forced reduction of speed with the function of generating electricity [PDF]

open access: yesAvtomobilʹnyj Transport (Harʹkov), 2019
Problem. The danger posed by high-speed vehicles passing through crowded areas is extremely high. An analysis of the cause of accidents involving victims in Ukraine showed that speeding was the main cause for that in the city.

Unified Approach to KdV Modulations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
We develop a unified approach to integrating the Whitham modulation equations. Our approach is based on the formulation of the initial value problem for the zero dispersion KdV as the steepest descent for the scalar Riemann-Hilbert problem, developed by ...
