The problem of the interaction of rolling stock with the rail track has been analyzed in the present paper. It has been established that in the process of transport science development a number of methods for determining the causes of wheel pairs derailment are developed, which, in a varying degree, take into account the peculiarities of their interaction. The problem of choosing the most accurate method for estimating the causes of rolling stock derailment becomes more complicated because of the lack of sufficient experimental data that would allow us to verify the adequacy of the models. The indicators of stability of the wheel against derailment, which are used on the railways of Ukraine and Europe, have been examined. Their dependences on the speed of movement were derived. It has been established that the increase of the speed of motion leads to the increase of the interaction power of the rolling stock with the rail track, which may, under certain operational parameters, provoke its derailment. As a result of the calculations, it has been shown that the use of norms for car design and calculation used on Ukrainian railways can lead to an inadequate estimation of traffic safety parameters, since it does not take into account the unevenness of the railway track. It has been established that the requirements of BS EN 14363: 2005 European norms are stricter in comparison with the norms for calculation and evaluation of the bearing elements strength and dynamic qualities of motor-vehicle rolling stock used on Ukrainian railways. A comparison of the experimentally and theoretically calculated values of the stability margin coefficient against wheel derailment of the first wheel pair of the diesel train car was carried out.

The Impact

Objective: To improve the integrity of running and dynamic testing results of force impact on the track, on the basis of modern facilities of data logging and wireless transmission from rotary elements of a car, as well as the change from indirect to direct methods of measurement. Methods: Comparative running and dynamic tests of the impact on the track were held simultaneously on the same section of the track, using three methods of logging vertical and side forces, that is Schlumpf (State Standard R 55050-2012), “RZhD-2016” and “NVTs-TKP” methods. The key difference of the third method was the application of strain-gauge set of wheels (TKP), making it possible to keep a continuous record of forces acting in the “wheel-rail” system throughout the track, whereas other methods allowed for the realization of the above mentioned only on districts with a limited amount of sections. Results: According to the results of comparative testing, a conclusion was made on the improvement of integrity and justification of the method of “NVTs-TKP” with an application of strain-gauge set of wheels. Practical importance: It was suggested to apply “NVTs-TKP” method to implementing organizations of running and dynamic tests when evaluating the load of an innovative rolling stock on the track.

Elastic Characteristics

Objective: Experimental determination track modulus and the coeffi cient of relative stiffness of underrail base and the rail, which are the main elastic characteristics that determine the stresses in the structural elements of track superstructure under the impact force from the train. The values of these parameters for a track with a ballast layer are well studied, in contrast to a ballastless track. Comparison of the elastic characteristics of a ballastless railway track with analogs of a track on ballast, as well as an assessment of their effect on the stress-strain state of the superstructure elements of a ballastless track. Methods: When carrying out full-scale tests, strain-gauge methods for measuring stresses in the elements of the track superstructure were used. The obtained values were processed by the methods of mathematical statistics. One statistical series included the values of stresses corresponding to one type of rolling stock, fi xed axle load and train speed, changing by no more than 10 km/h. The probability level in processing the results was taken in all cases equal to 0,994. Results: The values of track modulus and the coeffi cient of the relative stiffness of the underrail base and the rail were obtained for a ballastless structure of the RHEDA 2000 type. Practical importance: The results allow us to consider the rail as a beam lying on a solid elastic foundation in relation to the ballastless track and use the existing calculation methods for the design of ballastless track structures depending on the operating conditions.

Objective: To identify the rolling-stock stability, force reduction, emerging in the process of wheel-rail interaction, the reduction of wheel thread and wheel flange wear, horizontal wear during high-speed running. To consider issues of wheel-rail interaction, that is the influence of a wheel pair equivalent conicity on rolling stock operation. Lateral motion of a wheel pair about an axis of a track in accordance with conicity parameters occurs in the process of standard tapered wheel-rail interaction. Methods: Calculation methods of equivalent conicity and basic assumptions in design diagram were presented. The main functional dependencies of equivalent conicity were determined. “All-purpose mechanism” bundled software, developed on the basis of FastSim algorithm introduced by G. Kalker, was applied for modeling of wheel pair operation on a railway track. Results: Interaction of VNIIZhT-RM-70 wheel for “Sapsan” high-speed trains with R65 rail type was studied, as well as UIC60 rail type used on European railroads. Wheel rolling occurs in different circumferential directions in case of lateral movement of a wheel pair Oscillating motion was described, as well as the parameters on the basis of which equivalent conicity is formed. Practical importance: The necessity in reduction of equivalent conicity to efficiency parameters of high-speed running realization on Russian railroads was revealed by means of modeling.

The Stability

The rolling stock and the railway track are a single stant tendency of the development of rail transport in relation to mechanical system. The running parts of the rolling stock and the the interaction of the power wheel-to-rail friction pair consists in track are interacting under difficult dynamic conditions. The con-increasing the axle load on the rails for freight rolling stock and further increasing the speed of the passenger trains. It takes a qualified approach to traffic safety issues and special attention to the stability of rolling stock to achieve these goals. An analysis of the stability control of the car with an admission to the infrastructure was carried out based on the regulatory documents that establish the main provisions and procedures for the operation of railways and railway workers. Authors proposed the elimination of existing shortcomings and ensuring the stability of the carriage motion by optimizing parameters of the placement of goods in the car. Calculations were made on the rollover stability conditions (stability loss) of the body and the criterion of the critical speed at which the carriage derailed due to the loss of contact of the wheels with the internal rail line of the curve. A method for controlling the stability of a car with a load by means of two-position weighing is proposed. The results obtained also make it possible to determine the height of the common center of gravity (CG), the magnitude of the longitudinal and lateral displacement of the center of gravity of the freight.

Classical Calculation

Railway bogie is the basic element that determines the force, kinematic, power and other parameters of the rolling stock, and its movement in the railway track has not been studied enough. Classical calculation of the kinematic and dynamic parameters of the bogie's motion with the determination of the position of its center of rotation, the instantaneous axes of rotation of wheelsets, the magnitudes and directions of all forces present a difficult problem even in quasi-static theory. The paper shows a simplified method that allows one to explain, within the limits of one article, the main kinematic and force parameters of the bogie movement (installation angles, clearance between the wheel flanges and side surfaces of the rails), wear and contact damage to the wheels and rails. Tribology of the railway bogie is an important part of transport tribology, the foundation of the theory of wheel-rail tribosystem, without which it is impossible to understand the mechanisms of catastrophic wear, derailments, contact fatigue, cohesion of wheels and rails. In the article basic questions are considered, without which it is impossible to analyze the movement of the bogie: physical foundations of wheel movement along the rail, types of relative motion of contacting bodies, tribological characteristics linking the force and kinematic parameters of the bogie. Kinematics and dynamics of a two-wheeled bogie-rail bicycle are analyzed instead of a single wheel and a wheelset, which makes it clearer and easier to explain how and what forces act on the bogie and how they affect on its position in the rail track. To calculate the motion parameters of a four-wheeled bogie, it is represented as two two-wheeled, moving each on its own rail. Connections between them are replaced by moments with respect to the point of contact between the flange of the guide wheel and the rail. This approach made it possible to give an approximate estimation of the main kinematic and force parameters of the motion of an ideal bogie (without axes skewing) in curves, to understand how the corners of the bogie installation and the gaps between the flanges of the wheels and rails vary when moving with different speeds, how wear and contact injuries arise and to give recommendations for their assessment and elimination.

Within the context of vehicle suspension component characterization, that of shock absorbers is one of the more difficult to achieve, yet it is a very critical factor in the prediction of vehicle dynamic behaviour. Strongly non-linear output force functions are always linked to a frequency-dependent behaviour. Using the internal fluid-dynamic phenomenon with respect to a motorcycle shock absorber, different physical models of increasing complexity are presented: using these models it is possible to evaluate the importance of different factors, for example oil compressibility or oil inertia. Comparisons with experimental data confirm the validity of these models
