The given article considers the method of calculating the track geometry deformation with respect to uneven accumulation of residual deformations along the track. The technique proposes two significant changes in existing approaches to calculating the efficiency of the ballast layer. The transition from the approach of allowable stresses design in the ballast layer to the deformative approach of accumulations of track geometry deformations allows us to draw conclusions regarding the intervals of track tamping and the duration of ballast layer life cycle. The transition from the determinative to probabilistic approaches makes it possible to draw conclusions not only from the average unevenness, but also with regard to all possible facts of unevenness. The method is based on the mechanism of sudden and gradual deformations occurrence, which depends on a number of key factors: dynamic stresses on the ballast, non-uniformity of track elasticity, performance of current maintenance work. Based on the experimental studies results, the dependencies of sudden deformations and the intensity of gradual deformations on the level of stress on the ballast layer were established. The experimental results of the influence of the subballast base elasticity on the intensity of accumulation of residual deformations are shown. On the basis of the developed method, the prediction of track geometry deterioration for a given structure of the track, the rolling stock and the permissible level of geometric deviations for track maintenance is presented.

W artykule omówiono zagadnienie identyfikacji parametrów liniowych struktur reologicznych modelujących zachowanie się próbek MMA. W procesie identyfikacji wykorzystano algorytm genetyczny. Analizie poddano dwie struktury lepkosprężyste: klasyczny model Burgersa i model Hueta-Sayegha opisywany pochodną ułamkowego rzędu. Podano podstawy teoretyczne interpretacji badań doświadczalnych cyklicznego odkształcania próbek MMA. Opisano wybrane problemy implementacji algorytmu genetycznego. Otrzymane wyniki identyfikacji świadczą o poprawności działania algorytmu i potwierdzają przydatność tej techniki w zagadnieniach identyfikacji parametrów struktur reologicznych.

The paper discusses the identification problem for parameters of linear rheological models representing the behaviour of asphalt-aggregate mixtures. Genetic algorithm technique is used for this purpose. Two viscoelastic models are considered: the classical Burgers model and the Huet-Sayegh model described by fractional derivatives. Theoretical basis of interpretation of experimental cyclic deformation of asphalt-aggregate samples is given. Selected problems of implementation of the genetic algorithm are discussed. The results of identification put the evidence of the correctness of the algorithm and confirm the usefulness of this technique in the identification process of rheological model parameters.

runs are achieved when the highest flow through the most recently backwashed filter and the highest available head loss coincide. This rule has previously been published by Dąbrowski, who used a simplified mathematical model of VDR filters developed by Di Bernardo. However, until now no experimental verification of this optimisation approach has been presented. A series of tests were carried out on a laboratory VDR filter plant, using a suspension collected from an industrial sedimentation tank and using alum as a coagulant. The results of the experiments were compared with computations carried out according to a combined unit bed element (UBE)-phenomenological model of deep bed filtration adapted to VDR operation by Mackie and Zhao. It was confirmed that the longest filtration runs did indeed correspond to the pairs of the highest H and q1/qavr. The UBE-phenomenological model of deep bed filtration gave results of computations quite close to experimental results and improved the accuracy of calculations based on the theoretical model by Di Bernardo.

Our objective is the construction of a phenomenological ferroelectricity model for general electro-mechanical loading histories, which is simple enough to be implemented in an FE-code with reasonable expenditure. In this paper, we motivate and verify the one-dimensional formulation of such a model. This is done by introducing remanent polarization and remanent strain as internal variables besides stress, strain, electric field and polarization. Polarization induced anisotropy is taken into account to the extent deemed necessary. For the sake of simplicity, no rate effects are included. By bilinear approximation the following characteristic phenomena of macroscopic ferroelectricity are represented: dielectric hysteresis, polarization induced piezoelectricity, butterfly hysteresis, ferroelastic hysteresis, mechanical depolarization, field dependent coercitive stress.
