Theory and Practice of Optimum Correction using Restored Track Irregularity Waveform
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have developed a new theory for correcting track irregularities by applying their restored waveforms and carried out experimental levelling and lining work. In this theory, the optimum shifting/lifting values are obtained as solutions for a typical quadratic programming problem. Restrictions on shifting rails are formulated as constraint conditions of the optimization problem. Furthermore, in the case of levelling work, a designed cross level can be realized. From experimental work on ballasted and slab track, the effectiveness of this theory has been confirmed. In the range of long wavelengths up to 50 m, the amplitude of track irregularity has decreased.

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...

Thorough understanding of steel rail response to wheel load is a key step towards design and evaluation of the railway track structure. In current practice, maximum vertical deflection and bending moment are calculated using the theory of infinite beam on continuous elastic foundation (Winkler model), in which the foundation stiffness is assumed as constant. However, variation of track modulus ...

This paper presents a new method to find the optimum switching angles in voltage source multilevel converters in order to minimize specific higher order harmonics and decrease the total harmonic distortion (THD) of their output voltage waveform. The output voltage waveform of inverter can either be in the form of staircase or PWM. In order to increase the degrees of freedom and elimination of m...
