The disequilibrium theory in economics is used to depict the network traffic flow evolution process from disequilibrium to equilibrium. Three path choice behavior criteria are proposed, and the equilibrium traffic flow patterns formed by these three criteria are defined as price regulation user equilibrium, quantity regulation user equilibrium, and price-quantity regulation user equilibrium, respectively. Based on the principle of price-quantity regulation user equilibrium, the method of network tatonnement process is used to establish a network traffic flow evolution model. The unique solution of the evolution model is proved by using Picard's existence and uniqueness theorem, and the stability condition of the unique solution is derived based on stability theorem of nonlinear system. Through numerical experiments, the evolution processes of network traffic flow under different regulation modes are analyzed. The results show that all the single price regulation, single quantity regulation, and price-quantity regulation can simulate the evolution process of network traffic flow. Price-quantity regulation is the combination of price regulation user equilibrium and quantity regulation user equilibrium, which thus can simulate the evolution process of network traffic flow with multiple user class.
Carbon/aramid fabric composite coatings modified with boron nitride of single layer were fabricated through a dip-coating method. The composite coatings were cured with successive heating processes in an oven. The friction and wear properties of those asprepared coatings were studied on a block-on-ring tester. The obtained results showed that the wear life of the coatings increased obviously after inclusion of boron nitride of single layer; however, the values of friction coefficients of the coatings almost remained constant. The optimal loadings of boron nitride of single layer in our experiments was 5 wt.%, and the wear life of the modified coating increased by ca. 360% compared with that of pristine fabric composite coating. The worn morphology of the sliding surface for both pristine fabric coating and the composite coatings filled with boron nitride of single layer was discussed, and the wear mechanisms were illuminated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
