Life Cycle Cost Prediction for Rolling Stocks in Maintenance Phase Based on VBA Language Program

In order to predict and analyze the LCC during rolling stocks’ maintenance phase, provide the important support for the decision during rolling stocks’ design, production, operation and disposal, mitigate the risks for high expenditure, the LCC prediction software is developed with VBA programming language in Microsoft Excel environment based on various rolling stocks’ maintenance scenarios. Th...

Rolling perception without rolling motion.

The texture of a rolling circle depicts the translational and rotational components of its motion. In the case of a homogeneous circle, however, visual cues to the rotational component of motion are absent. To examine how the visual system resolves undetermined motion cues, optically neutral circles were displaced so that changes in their orientation were invisible. Contextual cues systematical...

Rolling friction and bistability of rolling motion

The rolling motion of a rigid cylinder on an inclined flat viscous surface is investigated and the nonlinear resistance force against rolling, FR(v), is derived. For small velocities FR(v) increases with velocity due to increasing deformation rate of the surface material. For larger velocity it decreases with velocity due to decreasing contact area between the rolling cylinder and the deformed ...

Dynamics of Bankrupt Stocks

In this thesis, we study the behavior of bankrupt stocks. Bankrupt stock is a special case of the Hard-to-Borrow stocks. Besides the general nice feature of the Hard-to-borrow feedback for the buy-in demand, the bankrupt stocks could exclude the diffusive effects. This nice property would modify the Marco Avellaneda and Mike Lipkin’s jump-diffusion model for the Hard-to-Borrow stocks into the p...
