2. 6. Tread Braking of Railway Wheels - Noise-related Tread Roughness and Dimensioning Wheel Temperatures

   Author : Tore V Vernersson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; rail chill; block material; temperature; heat partitioning; railway; corrugation; thermoelastic analysis; tread braking; noise;

   Abstract : Block braking is a commonly used braking system for freight wagons and other types of railway vehicles. One or several brake blocks are pressed against the tread (running surface) of the wheel, which is also in rolling contact with the rail. READ MORE

4. 7. Railway tread braking temperatures - Numerical simulation and experimental studies

   Author : Shahab Teimourimanesh; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; railway tread braking; finite element analysis; railway wheels; rail chill; hot spots; frictional heating; heat partitioning; metro; field experiment; rig experiment;

   Abstract : Tread (block) braking is still one of the most common braking systems on railway vehicles. The action is carried out by pressing brake blocks against the tread of a wheel, which is also in rolling contact with the rail. READ MORE

5. 8. Thermal Capacity of Railway Wheels - Temperatures, residual stresses and fatigue damage with special focus on metro applications

   Author : Shahab Teimourimanesh; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; railway tread braking; finite element analysis; frictional heating; fatigue damage; metro trains; rig field experiments; railway wheels; stop braking; temperatures;

   Abstract : Tread (block) braking is still one of the most common braking systems on railway vehicles.The action is carried out by pressing brake blocks against the tread of a wheel, which is also inrolling contact with the rail. READ MORE

6. 9. Punctuality and railway maintenance

   Author : Birre Nyström; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Maskinelement; Machine Elements;

   Abstract : Long and frequent train delays, striking many periodically make headlines. The question is raised: what might be done about it? The on-going deregulation of the Swedish railway, with more actors entering the market, contributes to the question's topicality. In this thesis, problems and symptoms concerning punctuality are described and analysed. READ MORE
