  2. 16. Simulation of vertical dynamic interaction between railway vehicle and slab track

    Author : Emil Aggestam; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; transition zones; genetic algorithm; dynamic vehicle–track interaction; Slab track; modelling; ballasteless track;

    Abstract : The usage of slab track for high-speed railway lines has increased in recent decades. In Sweden, the building of new railway lines for higher speed and the selection of track design for such lines are currently being debated. READ MORE

  4. 17. Influence of rail, wheel and track geometries on wheel and rail degradation

    Author : Kalle Karttunen; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; track geometry; rolling contact; rail; railway; Rolling contact fatigue; maintenance; wear; wheel;

    Abstract : For more efficient railway maintenance there is a need to increase the understanding of the influence of operational conditions on wheel and rail degradation. To this end, the chosen primary investigation strategy is to employ dynamic multibody simulations, where operational conditions are altered, to estimate the influence on material deterioration.

  5. 18. Leveraging Data-Driven and Alignment Techniques for Optimal Railway Track Maintenance Scheduling

    Author : Mahdi Khosravi; Alireza Ahmadi; Uday Kumar; Iman Soleimanmeigouni; Anders Ekberg; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Railway tracks; degradation; maintenance; tamping; track geometry; planning and scheduling; alignment; Operation and Maintenance Engineering; Drift och underhållsteknik;

    Abstract : The railway infrastructure plays a pivotal role in fostering economic growth and poverty alleviation. Over time, these infrastructures deteriorate due to aging and usage, compromising their functionality. Given their crucial socioeconomic significance and vast scale, ensuring their functionality and availability is paramount. READ MORE

  6. 19. Onboard condition monitoring of vehicle-track dynamic interaction using machine learning : Enabling the railway industry’s digital transformation

    Author : Rohan Kulkarni; Mats Berg; Ulf Carlsson; Alireza Qazizadeh; Sebastian Stichel; Jordi Viñolas; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Active preventive maintenance; intelligent fault diagnosis; anomaly detection; vehicle fleet; track irregularities; vehicle hunting; wheel-rail interface.; Farkostteknik; Vehicle and Maritime Engineering;

    Abstract : The railway sector’s reliability, availability, maintainability, and safety (RAMS) can significantly improve by adopting condition based maintenance (CBM). In the CBM regime, maintenance decisions are driven by condition monitoring (CM) of the asset. READ MORE

  7. 20. Simulation of track settlement in railway turnouts-An iterative approach

    Author : Xin Li; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; track settlement; Railway switch and crossing; cyclic loading; visco-plasticity; vehicle‒track interaction; 3D finite element analysis; granular material; ballast;

    Abstract : In this thesis, a methodology for simulation of track settlement in railway turnouts (switches andcrossings, S&C) is presented. The methodology predicts the accumulated settlement for a given setof traffic loads using an iterative and cross-disciplinary procedure. READ MORE
