  2. 1. Simulation and Measurement of Wheel on Rail Fatigue and Wear

    Author : Babette Dirks; Mats Berg; Roger Enblom; Mark Burstow; KTH; []
    Keywords : multibody simulations; prediction; wear; RCF; wheel; rail; cracks; measurements; Vehicle and Maritime Engineering; Farkostteknik;

    Abstract : The life of railway wheels and rails has been decreasing in recent years. This is mainly caused by more traffic and running at higher vehicle speed. READ MORE

  4. 2. On the running-in of gears

    Author : Sören Sjöberg; Ulf Olofsson; Anders Flodin; KTH; []
    Keywords : gears; gear manufacturing; running-in; surface topography; contact area ratio; manganese phosphate; Mechanical engineering; Maskinteknik;

    Abstract : The general trend in gear industry, today, is an increased focus on gear transmission efficiency. Gear transmission efficiency losses arise from loaded and unloaded gear contacts, seals, lubricant and bearings. One way of minimising the losses is to lower the lubricant viscosity. This will reduce the speed dependent losses. READ MORE

  5. 3. On Simulation of Uniform Wear and Profile Evolution in the Wheel - Rail Contact

    Author : Roger Enblom; Mats Berg; Simon Iwnicki; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wheel-rail contact; wear; wear prediction; wear model; wheel profile; rail; Vehicle engineering; Farkostteknik;

    Abstract : Numerical procedures for reliable wheel and rail wear prediction are rare. Recent development of simulation techniques and computer power together with tribological knowledge do however suggest computer aided wear prediction as possible. READ MORE

    Abstract : Numerical procedures for reliable wheel and rail wearprediction are rare. Recent development of simulationtechniques and computer power together with tribologicalknowledge do however suggest computer aided wear prediction. READ MORE

  7. 5. On the Influence of Rail Vehicle Parameters on the Derailment Process and its Consequences

    Author : Dan Brabie; Evert Andersson; Johan Oscarsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; train; railway; rail vehicle; accident; incident; derailment; bogie design; simulation; wheel; sleeper; impact; Vehicle engineering; Farkostteknik;

    Abstract : This thesis aims at systematically studying the possibilities of minimising devastatingconsequences of high-speed derailments by appropriate measures and features in thetrain design, including the running gear. The course of events immediately afterderailments is studied with respect to whether the train stays upright and close to thetrack centre line or deviates laterally with probably serious consequences.
