Design and improvement of traction electric engines ensuring reduction of the railway transportation power consumption is a current long-term objective. The objective is to develop technical requirements to the new electric engines, including implementation of the set haulage performance of locomotive, providing for constant power in the certain range of the running speed, as well as required properties in case of the supply network parameters change, selection of the weight and dimensions parameters ensuring fitting of the traction electric engines in the locomotive underframe, and other important tasks. The new technology is proposed for forecasting the engine properties using simulation modeling of the hauling features and electrical characteristics of engine in order to resolve the above mentioned objectives. The proposed pulsating current traction motor model takes into account the eddy currents effect on the processes of magnetic flux changes in the engine steel and the nature of electromagnetic processes in the engine. Electric component of the engine simulation model is added with the torque mechanical balance equation that allows assessing its operating properties to the full extent. Results of calculations are presented in the form of the engine electromotive force attenuation curve calculated for specific mode of operation at the armature current of 780 A and the initial value of electromotive force amounting to 525 V. Obtained parameter of attenuation correlates with the experimental data presented in the other information source. Value of determination factor between the specified curves certifies adequacy of the developed simulation model. Proposed model of engine and methodology of its design allows modeling its operation in transition and in static modes of operation. Engine properties obtained by means of the proposed simulation model n = f(iа) and M = f(iа) are almost similar to the properties of traction engine NB-514 in the entire range of the armature current change iа. Proposed simulation model allows designing pulsating current traction motor with the set operating properties, as well as studying the engine parameters effect on its energy indicators.

This paper deals with research in computer simulation of manufacturing processes. The paper summarizes the procedures associated with developing the model, experimenting with and evaluating the model results. The key area is of experimentation with the simulation model and evaluation using indicators or multi-criteria functions. With regards to the experiment the crucial variables are the simulation model. The key ideas are to set the number of variables, depending on what a given simulation will be. For example, when introducing new technology into production, modify the type of warehouse, saving workers, thus economizing. The simulation models for the operational management uses simplified models, if possible, a minimum number of variables to obtain the result in shortest possible time. These models are more user friendly and the course will be conducted mostly in the background. An example of a criteria function is the number of parts produced or production time. Multi-criteria function has given us the opportunity to make better quality decisions. It is based on the composition of several parameters, including their weight to one end point. The type of evaluation functions, whether it is an indicator or criteria function is selected and based on customer requirements. In most cases it is recommended to use the multi-dimensional function. It gives us a more comprehensive view of the results from the model and facilitates decision-making. The result of this paper is a display of setting parameters for the experimentation on a sample model. Furthermore, the comparisons of results with a multi-criteria objective function and one-criterion indicator.

The electromagnetic valve (EMV) actuation system is a new technology for improvement in fuel effciency and reduction in emissions in spark ignition (SI) engines. It can provide more flexibility in valve event control compared with conventional variable valve actuation devices. However, a more powerful and effcient actuator design is needed for this technology to be applied in mass production engines. This paper presents the effects of design and operating parameters on the static and dynamic performances of the actuator. Employing the finite element method (FEM), the flow pattern of the magnetic flux is analysed and the resultant magnetic forces of several cases of core and armature designs are calculated. A computer simulation model has been set up to identify the dynamic behaviour of the EMV system. The effects of external disturbances such as cylinder pressure, armature neutral position and current supply time are also analysed. To verify the accuracy of the simulation model, an experimental study is also carried out on a prototype actuator. It is found that there is relatively good agreement between the experimental data and the results from the simulation model. The newly designed actuator is successfully operated on the test bench up to about 6000 r/min, which is the range of rated speed of most production SI engines. Through the whole speed range, the actuator maintains good performance in valve timing and event control.

The object of research is a pulsating current traction motor. To improve the accuracy of its mathematical model, it is necessary to use the values of the parameters that are determined in experimental studies of the electric motor. In particular, it is important to use in the model of the electric motor inductance obtained experimentally. A method is proposed for calculating the inductance of the armature winding, main poles, additional poles and compensation winding and the total inductance of the traction motor armature circuit. The calculations are based on the results of the indirect inductance measurement method, in which the electrical values of various modes of power supply of the electric motor windings are directly measured, and the inductances are determined by auxiliary calculations. The inductances of the traction motor armature circuit have a non-linear dependence on the current flowing through them. The main difference of the study is that the measurements of the electrical parameters required for calculating the inductance are carried out over the entire range of operating currents of the windings. The essence of the proposed technique is to measure the active power in the armature winding, the winding of the main and additional poles, and the compensation winding, as well as in the armature circle as a whole when they are supplied with alternating current. According to the obtained values of active power losses and phase displacement, the corresponding reactive power losses are determined, with the help of which the inductances of the motor windings are calculated. Approbation of the methodology for calculating the conduction inductance for an electric motor of a pulsating current NB-418K6 (country of origin Russia), is used on electric locomotives of the VL80T and VL80k series (country of origin Russia). A scheme for measuring electrical parameters necessary for calculating inductance is proposed. The graphical dependences of the inductance on the armature current, built on the basis of calculations, confirmed the hypothesis about the nonlinear dependence of these inductances on the armature current. For further application of the results obtained in the simulation of the operation of the traction electric motor NB-418K6, a polynomial approximation of the total inductance of the armature circuit was performed.

The objective of the research is to develop an agent based methodology for modeling a naval ship environment as a system-of-systems. A ship environment consists of complex interconnected systems such as the infrastructure, crew, and the work flow, which poses a challenge to capability and systems planning. By studying the real-time interactions between these systems, one can help make decisions about new technology to be inserted on a ship. A simulation model based on an agent-based modeling methodology is constructed in MATLAB along with a graphical user interface to simulate workflow scenarios for maintenance, troubleshooting, and watch duties described in predefined XML files in a zone of the ship. The environment consists of crew agents modeled with limited intelligence and behavioural traits, machinery with sensors, equipment consuming power, mobile and stationary network nodes and models for data transfer over the network, crew mobility, power distribution and trimming. Results demonstrate the robustness of powering network nodes over Ethernet. One key result of the simulation model demonstrates the relative effectiveness of network access point locations; a counter intuitive decrease in workflow efficiency occurs due to a new technology inserted to enable wireless access.

This article elucidates on the concept of electromagnetism and electromagnetic induction with a view to explaining the theory of magnetic stimulation, used to cure diseases in human beings. Magnetic stimulation follows the principles of electromagnetism. A changing primary current induces secondary currents, which are called eddy currents, in the nearby conductors (human tissue in this case). The strength of the electric field is measured by its electromotive force (emf), which in turn, is measured in volts. The changing primary current also gives rise to an induced voltage in the primary loop itself. The essential circuitry of a magnetic stimulator is composed of three elements, the capacitor, inductance of the stimulation coil, and a switch to connect them. This article also explains the process of the energy flow system through the inductor-capacitor system, applying this principle to the biphasic TMS pulse.

Current research suggests that the performance of electric vehicle with a single-speed transmission can still be widely improved. The novel two-speed uninterrupted transmission consists of a single-row planetary, a centrifugal clutch, a brake, and two motor controlling clutch and brake. Changing the switch of clutch and brake can achieve two-speed uninterrupted gearshifts. Different from the traditional centrifugal clutch, a novel adjustable device is specifically designed to control the switch of clutch. Torque characteristics of clutch prototype are displayed. Some differences of the gearshift methodology are specifically designed to compensate for the characteristics of the electric traction motor and the adjustable centrifugal clutch. The specific simulation model is established according to the novel uninterrupted transmission prototype. The dynamic characteristics of the two-speed uninterrupted transmission system are analyzed. The higher utilization ratio of the traction motor power increases the efficiency of the traction motor with the novel two-speed uninterrupted transmission.

Wear is the main reason for the loss of performance of the parts for agricultural machinery. It leads to the degradation of the soil working quality. This work aims to highlight the wear resistance of the harrows discs manufactured, consolidated and sharpened differently. The tests were conducted in the laboratory and the field of the Faculty of Exploitation and Repair of Agricultural Machinery of the State Technical University of Kirovograd (Ukraine) in 2015. The technical equipment consists of devices for consolidation by electric discharge and for measurement the linear wear of discs, a harrow, a sand test bed, a tractor and discs made of different materials and technologies. Some parameterized were collected during the laboratory test each 5 ha and up to 20 ha of operation and in the fields each 30 ha until the time limit of exploitation. The Laboratory tests have shown that after twenty (20) ha of operation, the wear resistance of the experimental discs made of steel 65G and consolidated by electric discharge with simultaneous grinding (sharpening angle of 30°) is 2.95 times higher than the discs in series made of steel 28MnB5. The field experiment gave the following results: According to agro technical requirements, the plowing depth limit of serial discs made of steel 28MnB5 was reached after an operating duration of 120 ha while for experimental discs made of steel 65G and consolidated by electric discharge with simultaneous grinding (sharpening angle of 30 degrees) this duration is of 156 ha. The diameter wear limit of experimental discs was reached after an operating duration of 179 ha against 154 ha for the serial ones. Therefore, the new technology can be applied during the manufacture and / or the repair of the discs.Int. J. Agril. Res. Innov. & Tech. 5 (2): 70-74, December, 2015
