Boundary controllability and source reconstruction in a viscoelastic string under external traction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Treatises on vibrations devote large space to study the dynamical behavior of an elastic system subject to known external tractions since usually a ``system'' is part of a chain of mechanisms which disturb the ``system'' for example due to the periodic ...

Optimization on the Crosswind Stability of Trains Using Neural Network Surrogate Model

open access: yesChinese Journal of Mechanical Engineering, 2021
Under the influence of crosswinds, the running safety of trains will decrease sharply, so it is necessary to optimize the suspension parameters of trains.

Re-adhesion control for a railway single wheelset test rig based on the behaviour of the traction motor [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
A method for detecting wheel slip/slide and re-adhesion control of AC traction motors in railway applications is presented in this paper. This enables a better utilisation of available adhesion and could also reduce wheel wear by reducing high creep ...

Friction coefficient estimation using an unscented Kalman filter [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The friction coefficient between a railway wheel and rail surface is a crucial factor in maintaining high acceleration and braking performance of railway vehicles; therefore, monitoring this friction coefficient is important.

Damage Tolerance Assessment of a Brake Unit Bracket for High-Speed Railway Welded Bogie Frames

open access: yesChinese Journal of Mechanical Engineering, 2019
The brake unit bracket of a bogie frame is an important load-carrying component, particularly under emergency start/stop conditions. Conventional infinite/safe life approaches provide an over-conservative recommendation for the allowable strength and ...
