Study on Performance Optimization and Feasibility of No.9 Turnout with 1520 mm Gauge in China

open access: yesApplied Sciences
To address the issues of poor geometric dimension retention, short component lifespan, and heavy maintenance workload of the 1520 mm gauge 50 kg/m rail No.9 turnout, a new design was proposed for the 1520 mm gauge 60 kg/m rail No.9 turnout.

Features of mathematical modeling of dynamic processes of car passing railroad turnouts

open access: yesВестник Научно-исследовательского института железнодорожного транспорта, 2020
Dimensions and tolerances in the “wheelset — railway track” system are interconnected, since the normative values of geometric parameters and shape of the elements of the wheelsets and the track's upper structure are directly de pendent. In 2018– 2019 in
