Analysis of Results of Monitoring and Prediction of Quality Development of Ballasted and Ballastless Track Superstructure and its Transition Areas

open access: yesCommunications, 2016
Securing durability of parameter quality of track alignment design and track geometry is a goal of each railway infrastructure manager. To accomplish this goal, various methods and procedures are applied, but they are all based on regular diagnostics ...

Endomorphisms, train track maps, and fully irreducible monodromies

open access: yes, 2017
Any endomorphism of a finitely generated free group naturally descends to an injective endomorphism of its stable quotient. In this paper, we prove a geometric incarnation of this phenomenon: namely, that every expanding irreducible train track map ...

Innovating Aircraft Repair Processes: The Role of Digitalization in Sustainability

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This research explores how digitalization—by storing detailed non‐destructive testing data in structured DICONDE databases and creating a standard data model of the component—innovates aviation maintenance and repair processes. Coupled with a developed state‐based simulation model, it enables data‐driven, sustainable repair strategies that reduce waste,

Optimal geometry for oval sprint tracks

open access: yesJournal of Biomechanics, 1990
Track aspect ratio is defined as the percentage of lap length devoted to turns on an oval running track. Equations based on experiments are developed to model a composite runner with a specified top speed, during an acceleration phase in the straightaways and a centripetal phase in the turns.

The limits of spatial resolution achievable using a 30kHz multibeam sonar: model predictions and field results [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
A Simrad EM300 multibeam sonar was used to attempt to resolve small (-5m high) targets in 450m of water. The targets had previously been surveyed using a deeply towed 59 kHz sidescan sonar.

Process‐Informed Analysis of As‐Built Metal Additive Surface Features

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This article introduces a novel method for feature‐based surface texture characterisation directly incorporating manufacturing variables into the feature extraction workflow. This marks a major step towards identifying process‐specific surface properties and their influence on part function and hence a holistic understanding of process–structure ...

Track Geometry for Light Rail Systems

open access: yesTransportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2010
Light rail systems are characterized by running over the streets, with semiexclusive (or reserved) right-of-way. This factor leads to the necessity of adapting the track geometry to that existing in the streets. This adaptation sometimes leads to great challenges: strong vertical grades, horizontal circular curves with small radius without ...

Impact of wheel shape on the vertical damage of cast crossing panels in turnouts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Impact forces generated in the load transfer area of railway crossing panels lead to a range of degradation modes from wear and fatigue of the contacting materials, fatigue of supporting components to ballast/subgrade deterioration.

On the Lightweight Potential of Laser Additive Manufactured NiTi Triply Periodic Minimal Sheet Lattices

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study explores the lightweight potential of laser additive‐manufactured NiTi triply periodic minimal surface sheet lattices. It systematically investigates the effects of relative density and unit cell size on surface quality, deformation recovery, compression behavior, and energy absorption.

Rail Geometry Analysis (From the Point of View of Wearing in the Operation)

open access: yesCommunications, 2003
Rail geometry analysis is, from the point of view of wearing in the operation, the question of present railway vehicles operation practice. The sequels of negative influence are reflected on the environment state.
