Abstract:

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 thus the friction between them is negligible. Therefore, operation point of speed control system may be in either creep or wheelspin areas. The place of the operation point depends on the values of driving torque compared with the value of maximum adhesion torque. As described, in this article too, in order to minimize the acceleration time, the best operation point is maximum adhesion point. To provide a situation to study algorithms of adhesion control, this paper presents a complete model for simulation the adhesion control. Adhesion coefficient is a non-measurable quantity; therefore, an estimator, previously used, for its estimation is used. The traction motor which is used in this study is an induction motor. The speed control system of this traction motor is field oriented control. The presented model is used in operation in creep/wheelspin area and on maximum adhesion point. The simulation results approve the model.

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

Impacts of Wheel–rail at Railway Turnouts

Investigation of vertical vibrations of a railway turnout is important in designing track components under moving loads of trains. In this paper, the turnout is simulated by a linear finite element model with modal damping. A section of the turnout has a length of 36 sleeper spans surrounding the crossing. Rails and sleepers are modeled with uniform Rayleigh-&#10Timoshenko beam elements. The ra...

Preliminary results on multi-body dynamic simulation of a new test rig for wheel-rail contact

The ability to perform rolling contact fatigue (RCF) experiments in wheel–rail material is provided by a new small–scale test rig, manifesting the actual dynamic behaviour of the railway system. In this paper, a multi-body dynamics (MBD) model is proposed, simulating the vibration behaviour of the prescribed rig. The new testing facility is modelled using a three-dimensional model of the vehicl...
