Simulation of Train-Turnout Coupled Dynamics Using a Multibody Simulation Software
Modelling and Simulation in Engineering, 2018 With the advancements of computing power, multibody simulation (MBS) tool is used to study not only train dynamics but also more realistic phenomena such as train-track coupled dynamics. However, train-turnout coupled dynamics within MBS is still hard to

Turnout and Power Sharing [PDF]
The Economic Journal, 2014 Differences in electoral rules and/or legislative, executive or legal institutions across countries induce different mappings from election outcomes to distributions of power. We explore how these different mappings affect voters' participation in a democracy. Assuming heterogeneity in the cost of voting, the effect of such institutional differences on

Turnout Across Democracies [PDF]
American Journal of Political Science, 2015 World democracies widely differ in legislative, executive, and legal institutions. Different institutional environments induce different mappings from electoral outcomes to the distribution of power. We explore how these mappings affect voters' participation in an election. We show that the effect of such institutional differences on turnout depends on
