Politechnika Wrocławska, Wydział Budownictwa L ądowego i Wodnego; Katedra Mostów i Kolei [email protected] DOI: 10.35117/A_ENG_19_06_01 Measurements of transverse section wear of rails in tracks of tram-loop Abstract: In article the problems of classical methods of transverse section wear of rails replacement with new techniques based on electronic devices was concerned. Reasons of rails shape section changes were defined. Principles of rails waste inspection resulting from regulations were reminded. Review of practical measurement methods and devices were made. Shapes of nominal sections of rails used in tram tracks were analyzed. Realization of measurements executed with mechanical-electronic profile gauge and mechanical track gauge on tram-loop S ępolno in Wrocław were described. Proposal of graphic manner analysis of rail wear measurements in connection with track width measurements were proposed. In summary conclusions from effected investigations were formulated. Keywords: Tram tracks; Diagnostics; Profile Gauge Introduction In August 2017, the exchange of tram switches at the intersection of Paderewski and Mickiewicz streets. At the time of these works, the S ępolno loop was excluded from streetcar traffic. The author of this article managed to obtain the infrastructure manager's approval (ZDiUM) for measurements of rail shape section wear on this loop at that time. These examinations were not the result of any order or grant but resulted only from the need to check the correct operation of diagnostic equipment used in teaching, before the beginning of the next semester of classes with students. The possibility of carrying them out, however, has become an opportunity to recognize some interesting problems that are the result of replacing the classic methods of measuring rail section wear with new techniques based on the use of electronic devices.

  • Optimisation of Mechanised Maintenance Management
    Leon Zaayman OPTIMISATION OF MECHANISED MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT eBOOK INSIDE Optimisation of Mechanised Maintenance Management Abstract Railway track infrastructure is a complex system consisting of various subsystems which require incremental maintenance from all engineering disciplines; all of whom are competing for the limited time and number of available maintenance windows. The constant demand for higher traffic volumes, increased train speeds and heavier axle loadings all result in an exponential increase in maintenance requirements but the time available for maintenance is as a result even further reduced. This requires a more scientific lifecycle approach to infrastructure maintenance management. It also requires increased performance from mechanised construction, maintenance and renewal machines to keep the infrastructure reliable, available, maintainable, affordable and safe within the short available maintenance windows. The objectives of this book are to address the optimisation of infrastructure mainte- nance management and to provide a model with selection criteria for maintenance machinery and their features for the prevailing circumstances.

  • Finished Vehicle Logistics by Rail in Europe
    Finished Vehicle Logistics by Rail in Europe Version 3 December 2017 This publication was prepared by Oleh Shchuryk, Research & Projects Manager, ECG – the Association of European Vehicle Logistics. Foreword The project to produce this book on ‘Finished Vehicle Logistics by Rail in Europe’ was initiated during the ECG Land Transport Working Group meeting in January 2014, Frankfurt am Main. Initially, it was suggested by the members of the group that Oleh Shchuryk prepares a short briefing paper about the current status quo of rail transport and FVLs by rail in Europe. It was to be a concise document explaining the complex nature of rail, its difficulties and challenges, main players, and their roles and responsibilities to be used by ECG’s members. However, it rapidly grew way beyond these simple objectives as you will see. The first draft of the project was presented at the following Land Transport WG meeting which took place in May 2014, Frankfurt am Main. It received further support from the group and in order to gain more knowledge on specific rail technical issues it was decided that ECG should organise site visits with rail technical experts of ECG member companies at their railway operations sites. These were held with DB Schenker Rail Automotive in Frankfurt am Main, BLG Automotive in Bremerhaven, ARS Altmann in Wolnzach, and STVA in Valenton and Paris. As a result of these collaborations, and continuous research on various rail issues, the document was extensively enlarged. The document consists of several parts, namely a historical section that covers railway development in Europe and specific EU countries; a technical section that discusses the different technical issues of the railway (gauges, electrification, controlling and signalling systems, etc.); a section on the liberalisation process in Europe; a section on the key rail players, and a section on logistics services provided by rail.

  • The Balancing of Steam Locomotives
    The Balancing of Steam Locomotives: A Dynamical Problem of the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries by PETER SIDNEY BARDELL A thesis submitted to the University of London for the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy History of Science & Technology Group Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine December 1988 2 SUMMARY Following a brief survey of the prehistory of balancing and its emergence as a technique of vibration control early in the nineteenth century, this thesis examines the problem of steam locomotive balancing. From 1845 when the investigations of the Gauge Commission highlighted the importance of the stability of the locomotive at speed the subject occupied the attention of British engineers for over a century. The study examines the reasons for the persistence of the problem over such a prolonged period and the contribution of engineering science to the design of the locomotive. The thesis deals with the identification of the dynamical problem, the development of a theory of balancing and its presentation to engineers. Also considered here are some locomotive examples and proposals emanating from engineers dissatisfied with the inherent instability of the conventional two-cylinder engine. The relationship between locomotive practice and balancing is then traced. Economic aspects of bridge maintenance eventually focused the attention of engineers on the nub of the issue and culminated in the work of the Bridge stress Committee, during the mid-1920s, which clearly exposed the significance of the dynamic interaction between locomotive and track, and led to the introduction of proper balancing parameters in locomotive design. During the 1930s good balancing practice combined with 3 other rationalised design procedures enabled British express passenger locomotive practice to attain the peak of its achievement, although this was accomplished with three- and four-cylinder engines.
