Parameter Estimation for Rail Degradation Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
Wear and fatigue in rails are major contributors of rail degradation depending on operational conditions, track, characteristics of bogie type, Million Gross Tonnes (MGT), curvature, traffic type and environmental conditions. Estimation of parameter for failure models is necessary for accurate prediction of expected number of rail defects over a period of time based on MGT of traffic and operating conditions for developing cost effective maintenance strategies. This paper focuses on collection and analysis of field data over a period of time for estimation of parameter for modelling rail life.

CREDIBILISTIC PARAMETER ESTIMATION AND ITS APPLICATION IN FUZZY PORTFOLIO SELECTION
In this paper, a maximum likelihood estimation and a minimum entropy estimation for the expected value and variance of normal fuzzy variable are discussed within the framework of credibility theory. As an application, a credibilistic portfolio selection model is proposed, which is an improvement over the traditional models as it only needs the predicted values on the security returns instead of...

متن کاملParameter Estimation in Biokinetic Degradation Models in Wastewater Treatment - A Novel Approach Relevant for Micro-pollutant Removal
In this paper we address a general parameter estimation methodology for an extended biokinetic degradation model [1] for poorly degradable micropollutants. In particular we concentrate on parameter estimation of the micropollutant degradation sub-model by specialised microorganisms. In this case we focus on the case when only substrate degradation data are available and prove the structural ide...
متن کاملA Comprehensive Model for Adhesion Control System of Wheel and Rail
This paper presents the movement dynamic of the train and the relationship between the speed of wheel and train, as well as a discussion about the concept of wheel slip. There are two different operation regions designated as creep and wheelspin areas for wheel slip. Creep and wheelspin areas have stable and unstable characteristics, respectively. Wheels and rails are constructed from iron, and...
متن کاملOnline State Space Model Parameter Estimation in Synchronous Machines
The purpose of this paper is to present a new approach based on the Least Squares Error method for estimating the unknown parameters of the nonlinear 3rd order synchronous generator model. The proposed method uses the mathematical relationships between the machine parameters and on-line input/output measurements to estimate the parameters of the nonlinear state space model. The field voltage is...
