Mapping rail wear transitions [PDF]

, 2003
This paper outlines work carried out to produce maps of\ud rail material wear coefficients taken from laboratory\ud tests run on twin disc and pin-on-disc machines as well\ud as those derived from measurements taken in the field.\ud Wear transitions are identified using the maps and\ud defined in terms of slip and contact pressure.

Modern theatrics of love: desires and consumption in the Indian middle class Le théâtre moderne de l'amour : désirs et consommation dans la classe moyenne indienne

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
This article analyses class construction amongst the urban Indian middle class, through a novel prism of romantic love, specifically performances of romantic love which in turn highlight anxieties of being middle class. The article explains how a performance of romantic love before marriage is used as a basis by the middle class to claim being global ...

Study on modeling and numerical analysis for the prediction of wheel wear development

Mechanical Engineering Journal, 2017
The rights-of-way of urban railway systems contain many sharp curves. Since sharp curves can contribute to wheel and rail wear, the ability to predict the development of wheel wear is crucial to maintaining safe operation of such systems.

Limits for acceptable use of worn rails on UK standard gauge heritage railways [PDF]

, 2013
In 2011, UK heritage railways carried 7.1 million passengers on over 530 miles of track, accounting for £92 million of direct revenue. Much of this operation uses steam locomotives with relatively high axle loads and reciprocating motion which can lead ...

GHOSTLY ENCOUNTERS IN LAGOS: Virtual Reality between Urban Marketing and Media Activism

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines the role of virtual reality (VR) technologies in mediating and contesting dominant visions of urban futures in West Africa. Drawing on theoretical insights from a hybridization of the work of the German‐born Jewish critic Walter Benjamin and the Nigerian writer Amos Tutuola, I introduce the concept of phantasmagoria as a ...

Feasibility Study for Wear Resistance of Rails

Journal of The Korean Society of Manufacturing Technology Engineers, 2014
Rails are continuously exposed to severe environments due to increases in train service frequency, passing tonnage, and speed. Wear is one of the most common types of damage observed on rails. The surface of railsis heat treated to secure safety at critical sites, such as curved tracks or turnouts.
