    The Influence of the «Train-Track» System Parameters on the Maximum Longitudinal Forces' Level
    (Silesian University of Technology, Katowice, Poland, 2019) Pshinko, Oleksandr M.; Ursulyak, Liudmyla V.; Kostrytsia, Serhii A.; Fedorov, Yevhen F.; Shvets, Anzhela O.
    EN: The main objective of the simulation is to study the effect caused by the parameters of the longitudinal profile on the maxima of longitudinal forces in freight trains of increased length during adjustment braking and running-out. To decrease the number of numerical experiments, some empirical formulae for estimating the maximum longitudinal forces during the motion of freight trains along the track with various configurations of its longitudinal profile's gradient changes have been obtained for the first time. Comparison of those forces with the permitted values, from the point of view of the railway stock strength and eventual vehicle derailment, has been performed. As a result of numerical integration of the system of non-linear differential equations of train motion for the considered driving modes, the values of the greatest longitudinal shock and quasi-static forces, as well as the dependence of the latter on the train length, initial braking velocity, on the algebraic difference of gradients and the length of the horizontal area that separates two gradients with opposite signs are estimated. The proposed mathematical model and methodology can be applied during standardization of the longitudinal profile's parameters from the point of view of the freight traffic safety for the trains of various length.

    Methods and Results of Evaluating the Dual-Power Electric Train Crew Elements Service Life
    (IOP Publishing, 2020) Horobets, Volodymyr L.; Sablin, Oleh I.; Fedorov, Yevhen F.; Horobets, Yevhen; Bolotov, Oleksij O.; Jangulova, Olga L.
    EN: The article assesses the long-term strength of the vibration damper assembly of a double power transmission of electric trains manufactured by «Hyundai-Rotem Company». The technique is described and the analysis of the service life of the elements of the chassis of the electric train is made. The presence and nature of micro cracks in the loaded elements of the vibration damper assembly was evaluated after a full cycle of vibration bench tests. The influence of vertical vibrations of the electric train body on the level of dynamic load and the service life of the bearing elements of the vibration damper assembly is considered. The service life of the vibration damper at the end of the service life has been estimated by comparing working hours and “statistical playback”. The calculation of the resource by the method of "statistical reproduction" confirms the possibility of operating the vibration damping module (second modernization) for 50 years from the date of construction. The influence of the vibration damper position on its dynamic loading is checked. The main stages and sequence of tests for estimation the resource of the longitudinal vibration damper module of a double-fed electric train are also considered, including methodological, calculated and experimental confirmation of the reliability and durability of the unit, which was studied as part of a comprehensive work.
