Limp-Home and Rescue-Operation Analysis for Battery Locomotive with Wireless Charging Technology

Lithium-ion battery (LIB)-powered locomotives have emerged as a promising alternative to conventional rail electrification by reducing dependence on overhead catenary systems, lowering infrastructure costs, and improving operational flexibility. However, train failures involving power loss or mechanical faults present...

A Synthesis of Research on the Rollover Stability of Prestressed Concrete Girders Supported on Elastomeric Bearings

Rollover stability is a critical concern for prestressed concrete bridge girders, particularly during handling, transportation, and erection when lateral restraint is limited. The growing use of long-span, slender sections has increased their susceptibility to rollover instability, especially under the combined influen...
