PurposeTo address the lack of data in this field and determine the relationship between the coefficient of friction and the interference between locomotive wheels and axles, this study evaluates the theoretical relationship between the coefficient of friction and the interference under elastic deformation.Design/methodology/approachWhen using numerical analyses to study the mechanical state of the contacting components of the wheels and axle, the interference between the axle parts and the coefficient of friction between the axle parts are two important influencing factors. Currently, as the range of the coefficient of friction between the wheel and axle in interference remains unknown, it is generally considered that the coefficient of friction is only related to the materials of the friction pair; the relationship between the interference and the coefficient of friction is often neglected.FindingsA total of 520 press-fitting experiments were conducted for 130 sets of wheels and axles of the HXD2 locomotive with 4 types of interferences, in order to obtain the relationship between the coefficient of friction between the locomotive wheel and axle and the amount of interference. These results are expected to serve as a reference for selecting the coefficient of friction when designing axle structures with the rolling stock, research on the press-fitting process and evaluations of the fatigue life.Originality/valueThe study provides a basis for the selection of friction coefficient and interference amount in the design of locomotive wheels and axles.

The Relationship

The damage assessment of freight cars during shunting and loading and unloading operations was made. The need to review the normative documents regulating the relationship between the owners of rolling stock, owners of non-public tracks and the carrier is noted. The reasons for formation of damage on the wheel pairs of freight cars when disbanding on low-power sorting slides are considered. The conditions for ensuring the deceleration of detachments on non-mechanized sorting slides without damaging the wheels are determined. The analysis of methods for ensuring braking on low-power slides is carried out. A method was chosen to ensure the wheel set rotation by introducing a third body between the rubbing surfaces during the braking of cars, which will take over a part of the resulting heat flow, reducing the temperature and increasing the coefficient of friction in the «wheel-rail» contact zone. A method is proposed to provide braking on the non-mechanized sorting slide during shoe braking by applying a friction compound to a non-working rail. Laboratory tests were carried out, which showed that the introduction of a friction additive can achieve the necessary coefficient of friction to comply with the standard parameters of deceleration of the car in the braking zone.

The Coefficient Of Friction

W pojazdach szynowych ze względu na coraz to większe prędkości jazdy prowadzi się prace nad udoskonalaniem układów hamulcowych tak, aby zatrzymanie pojazdu odbyło się na możliwie najkrótszej drodze hamowania. Niestabilność pracy wynika między innymi z występowania drgań na styku elementów ciernych, co wpływa na obniżenie sprawności procesu hamowania. W praktyce oznacza to, że podczas hamowania pojazdów występujący zmienny w czasie opór tarcia może być powodem nierównomiernego przebiegu procesu hamowania. Skutki tych zmian mogą objawić się w postaci drgań samowzbudnych. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie związku zmian chwilowego współczynnika tarcia hamulca tarczowego ze zmianami chwilowych przyspieszeń drgań okładziny ciernej w czasie hamowania.

The Coefficient Of Friction

A spatial computational model of a motor vehicle disc brake, based on the system of equations of heat dynamics of friction and wear (HDFW), was developed. The interrelations of temperature-dependent coefficient of friction and coefficient of intensity of wear through the contact temperature and vehicle velocity were taken into account. The solution of the system of equations of HDFW was obtained by the finite element method (FEM) for six different brake pad materials associated with the cast-iron disc during a single braking. Changes in the braking time, coefficient of friction, braking torque, vehicle velocity, mean temperature of the contact area of the pads with the disc and wear of the friction surfaces were determined. Then, the obtained calculation results were evaluated in terms of stabilization of the coefficient of friction (braking torque), as well as minimization of the maximum temperature, wear, braking time and pads mass. As a result, recommendations were given to select optimum brake pad material in combination with a cast-iron disc.

This article discusses features of a new friction management system, which is intended to boost efficiency on the railroad. Friction Management Services LLC of West Chicago, Illinois, has developed a friction management system, called TracGlide that consists of a synthetic polymer and computerized application equipment, installed on the locomotive at the front of the train. Unlike conventional lubrication schemes, the TracGlide system applies a friction modifier, not a lubricant, to the top of the rail. Although railroads usually avoid treating the tops of rails to avoid traction problems, the TracGlide polymer tends to increase the coefficient of friction when needed. The friction modifier is applied on both rails after the last axle of the last locomotive at the front of the train passes by. The application is computer controlled, based on factors such as the train’s weight, track curvature, speed, and temperature of the lubricant, which are constantly changing.

Abstract The article deals with the search for rational and balanced solutions to ensure maximum safety of rolling stock movement, taking into account the minimization of costs and technical measures. The paper presents a mathematical model for calculating the effect of rheological characteristics of lubricants on the service life of heavy-loaded friction units of rolling stock. The scheme of interaction of a wheel with a rail at a single-point contact is presented in the form of contacts of two cylinders of infinite length. The results of numerical analysis of the found analytical dependences of the influence of the plasticity parameter on the coefficient of friction, the influence of the plasticity parameter on the supporting force created by the lubricant layer during the movement of surfaces are presented. The influence of the coefficient of friction on the safety of rolling stock movement in the curved sections of the track is established.

The Impact

Brake assemblies are key mechanisms in the aspect of safe and reliable operation of devices and machines. Due to intense thermal processes that occur during braking, the brakes are exposed to an accelerated wear. The article assesses the impact of tribological cooperation conditions between the caliper and the disc of a disc brake on the temperature of a disc. The variable value in the simulations was the coefficient of friction between the cooperating surfaces. A direct effect of the increase of the analysed parameter on the enhancement of brake elements’ temperature was found. At the same time, a similar nature of thermal processes was observed for all values of the friction coefficient taken into account.

The Coefficient Of Friction

The experimental investigation of reciprocating motion between the aluminum doped crumb rubber /epoxy composite and the steel ball has been carried out under Reciprocating Friction Tester, TR-282 to study the wear and coefficient of frictions using different normal loads (0.4Kg, 0.7Kgand1Kg), differentfrequencies (10Hz, 25Hz and 40Hz).The wear is a function of normal load, reciprocating frequency, reciprocating duration and the composition of the material. The percentage of aluminum presents in the composite changesbut the other components remain the same.The four types of composites are fabricated by compression molding process having 0%, 10%, 20% and 30% Al. The effect of different parameters such as normal load, reciprocating frequency and percentage of aluminum has been studied. It is observed that the wear and coefficient of friction is influenced by the parameters. The tendency of wear goes on decreasing with the increase of normal load and it is minimum for a composite having 10%aluminum at a normal load of 0.7Kg and then goes on increasing at higher loads for all types of composite due to the adhesive nature of the composite. The coefficient of friction goes on decreasing with increasing normal loads due to the formation of thin film as an effect of heat generation with normal load.

Tribological properties of engineering components are a key issue due to their effect on the operational performance factors such as wear, surface characteristics, service life and in situ behavior. Thus, for better component quality, process parameters have major importance, especially for metal matrix composites (MMCs), which are a special class of materials used in a wide range of engineering applications including but not limited to structural, automotive and aeronautics. This paper deals with the tribological behavior of Cu-B-CrC composites (Cu-main matrix, B-CrC-reinforcement by 0, 2.5, 5 and 7.5 wt.%). The tribological characteristics investigated in this study are the coefficient of friction, wear rate and weight loss. For this purpose, four levels of sliding distance (1000, 1500, 2000 and 2500 m) and four levels of applied load (10, 15, 20 and 25 N) were used. In addition, two levels of sliding velocity (1 and 1.5 m/s), two levels of sintering time (1 and 2 h) and two sintering temperatures (1000 and 1050 °C) were used. Taguchi’s L16 orthogonal array was used to statistically analyze the aforementioned input parameters and to determine their best levels which give the desired values for the analyzed tribological characteristics. The results were analyzed by statistical analysis, optimization and 3D surface plots. Accordingly, it was determined that the most effective factor for wear rate, weight loss and friction coefficients is the contribution rate. According to signal-to-noise ratios, optimum solutions can be sorted as: the highest levels of parameters except for applied load and reinforcement ratio (2500 m, 10 N, 1.5 m/s, 2 h, 1050 °C and 0 wt.%) for wear rate, certain levels of all parameters (1000 m, 10 N, 1.5 m/s, 2 h, 1050 °C and 2.5 wt.%) for weight loss and 1000 m, 15 N, 1 m/s, 1 h, 1000 °C and 0 wt.% for the coefficient of friction. The comprehensive analysis of findings has practical significance and provides valuable information for a composite material from the production phase to the actual working conditions.
