چکیده

Abstract—The paper deals with possibilities of increase train capacity by using a new type of railway wagon. In the first part is created a mathematical model to calculate the capacity of the train. The model is based on the main limiting parameters of the train maximum number of axles per train, maximum gross weight of train, maximum length of train and number of TEUs per one wagon. In the second part is the model applied to four different model trains with different composition of the train set and three different average weights of TEU and a train consisting of a new type of wagons. The result is to identify where the carrying capacity of the original trains is higher, respectively less than a capacity of train consisting of a new type of wagons.

Acceleration-Based Quality Assessment of Railway Tracks using a 2D simulation model and recorded track data

Car body acceleration is an important factor affecting track safety and ride comfort, which are two primary aspects of railway systems. Though track level is an important source of wagon body acceleration, no quantitative relation between them is available and the aim of this paper is to propose a method to address this issue. To do so, car body acceleration is determined using a 10 DOF simulat...

A Study of the Wear Behavior of a Rail Material

The rail track is one of the most important elements of a railway system. During the passage of trains, the rails are subjected to contact load that comes from the wheels of the train.  The railway track often fails in service due to wear caused by contact fatigue and other wear damage mechanisms that could also limit the life span of the railway infrastructure and railway vehicle. The aim of t...

Investigating on the Effects of Random Irregularities of Railway Track by Half-Bogie Model

The vibrations produced by trains include two parts which are deterministic and random vibrations. Due to variation of dynamic loads and patterns of load-time, the random vibration of moving train is one of the most important issues in the field of railway engineering. One of the important sources in producing the train vibrations is rail roughness and irregularities. In this paper, responses o...

Investigating the Behavior of Railway Sleeper for Different Cases and Track Conditions by Using Analytical and Numerical Methods

Railway Sleepers are one of the most important elements in the track superstructure. Their tasks are keeping the track geometry, resisting against vertical and lateral train loads and transferring the train loads to the ballast layers. In this research, the railway sleeper as a beam on the elastic foundation is modeled with finite length. In this regard, two cases including a) beam with constan...
