1. 1. On Heavy-Haul Wheel Damages using Vehicle Dynamics Simulation

   Författare :Saeed Hossein Nia; Sebastian Stichel; Carlos Casanueva; Per-Anders Jönsson; Ernesto Garcia Vadillo; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :wear; RCF; rolling contact; traction; braking; heavy-haul; FASTSIM; FaStrip; Vehicle and Maritime Engineering; Farkostteknik;

   Sammanfattning : Maintenance cost is one of the important issues in railway heavy-haul operations. In most of the cases, these costs are majorly referring to reprofiling and changing the wheels of the locomotives and the wagons. The main reason of the wheel damages is usually severe wear and/or surface initiated rolling contact fatigue (RCF). LÄS MER

3. 2. Condition-based maintenance for effective and efficient rolling stock capacity assurance : A study on heavy haul transport in Sweden

   Författare :Mikael Palo; Doug Hargreaves; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Drift och underhållsteknik; Operation and Maintenance Engineering;

   Sammanfattning : All businesses need equipment to deliver services or manufacture goods. Over time, this equipment will degrade, but with proper maintenance, the degradation can be controlled, and failed equipment can be restored to operational status. Run-to-failure maintenance is performed when equipment or systems break down. LÄS MER

4. 3. Thermodynamic Cycles for Low- and High-Temperature Waste Heat Recovery from Heavy-Duty Engines

   Författare :Jelmer Johannes Rijpkema; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; low-temperature; long haul truck; engine efficiency; internal combustion engine; trilateral flash cycle; organic flash cycle; transcritical Rankine cycle; organic Rankine cycle ORC ; expander; heavy-duty Diesel; waste heat recovery;

   Sammanfattning : To reduce the environmental impact of heavy-duty vehicles, it is critical to reduce their CO2 emissions by improving the engine efficiency. A promising way to do this is by extracting waste heat from the engine during operation and converting it into useful work. LÄS MER

5. 4. An Investigation of the Iron-Ore Wheel Damages using Vehicle Dynamics Simulation

   Författare :Saeed Hossein Nia; Sebastian Stichel; Matti Rantatalo; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; three-piece bogie; wear; RCF; prediction; traction; braking; heavy haul; simulation; Vehicle and Maritime Engineering; Farkostteknik;

   Sammanfattning : Maintenance cost is one of the important issues in railway heavy haul operations. For the iron-ore company LKAB, these costs are mainly associated with the reprofiling and changing of the wheels of the locomotives and wagons. The main reason for the wheel damages is usually surface initiated rolling contact fatigue (RCF) on the wheels. LÄS MER

7. 5. Condition monitoring of railway vehicles : a study on wheel condition for heavy haul rolling stock

   Författare :Mikael Palo; Thomas Robertsson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Drift och underhållsteknik; Operation and Maintenance;

   Sammanfattning : A railway is an energy efficient mode of transport as it uses the low resistance contact between wheel and rail. This contact is not frictionless and causes wear on both surfaces. The wheel-rail guidance is made possible by the shapes of wheel and rail profiles. LÄS MER
