Integrating Dynamics and Wear Modelling to Predict Railway Wheel Profile Evolution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The aim of the work described was to predict wheel profile evolution by integrating multi-body dynamics simulations of a wheelset with a wear model. The wear modelling approach is based on a wear index commonly used in rail wear predictions.

Measurement methods and analysis tools for rail irregularities. A case study for urban tram track [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Rail irregularities, in particular for urban railway infrastructures, are one of the main causes for the generation of noise and vibrations. In addition, repetitive loading may also lead to decay of the structural elements of the rolling stock.

When should firms watch for cross‐industry competition? A demand‐side perspective

open access: yesStrategic Management Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary Research on competitor identification has primarily focused on intra‐industry competition. However, cross‐industry competitive threats are prevalent and consequential. We adopt a consumer‐oriented perspective to examine how consumer perceptions shape de facto competition across industry boundaries.

Pollution havens versus gates of hell: Environmental pollution and multinationals' foreign investment

open access: yesStrategic Management Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary This study investigates an under‐explored cost of operating in pollution havens: the pollution‐induced operational cost, or the increased labor costs and material supply constraints resulting from host countries' environmental pollution.

The History and Ideas of George Herbert Mead's Pragmatism and Its Relevance for Operational Research and Systems Thinkers

open access: yesSystems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT George Herbert Mead is an oft forgotten or ignored American philosopher who was one of the originators of pragmatism. Today, he is recognised as a creative thinker who has teased out knotty problems that others in the field had not realised were problems. Understanding Mead's analysis has been made difficult because he died prematurely without

Dynamic vortex characteristics and their contribution to heat transfer enhancement in the channel of a serrated finned tube heat exchanger

open access: yesCase Studies in Thermal Engineering
The dynamic vortex characteristics and thermal-hydraulic performance of a serrated finned tube heat exchanger were numerically analyzed under varying Reynolds numbers (Re = 10,000–60,000), fin spacing (Sf = 3.63–6.76 mm), and fin height (hf = 10.7–14.7 ...
