1. 1. On Active Suspension in Rail Vehicles

   Författare :Alireza Qazizadeh; Sebastian Stichel; Rickard Persson; T. X. Mei; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; active suspension; ride comfort; wear; skyhook control; H_infinity control; two-axle rail vehicle; safety; Farkostteknik; Vehicle and Maritime Engineering;

   Sammanfattning : The topic of this PhD thesis is active suspension in rail vehicles whichis usually realized through sensors, controllers and actuation components.A well established example of an active suspension is the tiltingcontrol system used to tilt the carbody in curves to reduce centrifugalacceleration felt by passengers.

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

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

   Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER

4. 3. Multi-Functional Composite Design Concepts for Rail Vehicle Car Bodies

   Författare :David Wennberg; Sebastian Stichel; Per Wennhage; Thilo Bein; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Car body; Composite; Finite element; Lightweight; Multi-discipline; Multi-functional; Optimisation; Rail Vehicles; Sandwich Panels;

   Sammanfattning : Structures and material combinations, tailored for multiple purposes, are within the reach of vehicle manufacturers. Besides reducing the environmental impact of the transportation sector these multi-functional structures can reduce costs, such as development, manufacturing and maintenance, and at the same time offer improved comfort to the passengers.

5. 4. On Efficient Modelling of Wheel-Rail Contact in Vehicle Dynamics Simulation

   Författare :Matin Shahzamanian Sichani; Mats Berg; Roger Enblom; Asier Alonso; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wheel-rail contact; non-elliptic contact; rail vehicle dynamics; rolling contact; vehicle-track interaction; wheel-rail damage; Järnvägsgruppen - Fordonsteknik; Järnvägsgruppen - Fordonsteknik; Järnvägsgruppen - Tribologi; The KTH Railway Group - Tribology; Vehicle and Maritime Engineering; Farkostteknik;

   Sammanfattning : The wheel-rail contact is at the core of all research related to vehicletrackinteraction. This tiny interface governs the dynamic performanceof rail vehicles through the forces it transmits and, like any high stressconcentration zone, it is subjected to serious damage phenomena. LÄS MER

7. 5. On Active Secondary Suspension in Rail Vehicles to Improve Ride Comfort

   Författare :Anneli Orvnäs; Sebastian Stichel; Rickard Persson; Roger Goodall; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; rail vehicle; active secondary suspension; ride comfort; sky-hook damping; H∞ control; multi-body simulations; on-track tests; Järnvägsgruppen - Gröna tåget; Järnvägsgruppen - Gröna tåget; Järnvägsgruppen - Fordonsteknik; Järnvägsgruppen - Fordonsteknik;

   Sammanfattning : One way to make rail vehicles a competitive means of transportation is to increase running speed. However, higher speeds usually generate increased forces and accelerations on the vehicle, which have a negative effect on ride comfort. With conventional passive suspension, it may be difficult to maintain acceptable passenger comfort. LÄS MER
