1. Degradation of railway rails from a materials point of view
Sammanfattning : From time to time railway rails need to be replaced. In that case and when new track is built, a decision has to be made about which rail grade that is going to be installed. The intention of this work was to compare different rail steels concerning their suitability from a mechanical durability perspective. LÄS MER
2. Challenges with Driverless and Unattended Train Operations
Sammanfattning : Demand for transportation continues to increase, for both freight and passenger services. One of the most energy-efficient modes of transportation is rail. One solution to increase the attractiveness of rail transport is to introduce automatic train operation (ATO) with a high grade of automation (GoA). LÄS MER
3. Modelling of cyclic and viscous behaviour of pearlitic steels. Application to tread braked railway wheels
Sammanfattning : Railway wheel and rail materials are subjected to very high stresses and, in some cases, also elevated temperatures. The rolling contact loading results in a multiaxial stress state with a combination of compression and shear. LÄS MER
4. Towards enhanced mechanical braking systems for trains. Thermomechanical capacity of wheel treads at stop braking
Sammanfattning : Modern trains are equipped with different braking systems, between which the braking effort can be distributed. Among these, tread braking is still the most common system for friction braking. Tread brake systems are cheap and robust. LÄS MER
