Design of an optimised wheel profile for rail vehicles operating on two track gauges
(Taylor & Francis, 2013-01)
This paper sets out an optimum synthesis methodology for wheel profiles of railway vehicles in order to secure good dynamic behaviour with different track configurations. Specifically, the optimisation process has been ...
Chatter avoidance in the milling of thin floors with bull-nose end mills: Model and stability diagrams
(Elsevier, 2011-01)
The milling of thin parts is a high added value operation where the machinist has to face the chatter problem. The study of the stability of these operations is a complex task due to the changing modal parameters as the ...
On the study of train-track dynamic interactions caused by rail welds on discrete supported rails
(Elsevier, 2014-06-15)
The paper studies the influence of rail weld dip on wheel-rail contact dynamics, with particular reference to freight trains where it is important to increase the operating speed and also the load transported. This has ...
Plastic Analysis and Testing of multidirectional SFRC flag slabs
(Instituto de Ciencias de la Construcción Eduardo Torroja, 2014-09)
This paper presents a theoretical and experimental study of multidirectional steel fibers reinforced concrete slabs (SFRC). The study is based on a real building application using SFRC flag slabs. For the evaluation of the ...
Design, Construction and Testing of a Hydraulic Power Take-Off for Wave Energy Converters
(MDPI, 2012-06)
This paper presents the construction, mathematical modeling and testing of a scaled universal hydraulic Power Take-Off (PTO) device for Wave Energy Converters (WECs). A specific prototype and test bench were designed and ...
Modelling rail corrugation with specific track parameters focusing on ballasted track and slab track
(Taylor & Francis, 2011-11)
The objective of this paper is to compare 3 types of track (high performance ballasted track, STEDEF and AFTRAV) from the corrugation growth point of view. This work has considered different vehicle speeds and track ...
Estrategias mecánicas de las plantas arborescentes: enseñanzas estructurales de los árboles
(Universidad de Tarapacá, 2017-09)
Los árboles son los seres vivos más grandes que jamás han poblado la Tierra, pudiendo tener más de cien metros de altura, masas de varios miles de toneladas y alcanzar edades de varios miles de años. Para conseguirlo, entre ...
SEM and EDS Characterisation of Layering TiOx Growth onto the Cutting Tool Surface in Hard Drilling Processes of Ti-Al-V Alloys
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2011)
Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) has been used to identify and analyse the secondary adhesion effect precursors formed during
the dry drilling processes of Ti-6Al-4V alloy over the rake face and flute of the drilling ...
Dynamic comparison of different types of slab tracks and ballasted track using a flexible track model
(Sage Publications, 2011-11)
The dynamic performance of a ballasted track and three types of slab tracks is analysed and compared by means of a comprehensive dynamic model of the train-track system, generated using two commercial analysis software ...
A rational fraction polynomials model to study vertical dynamic wheel-rail interaction
(Elsevier, 2012-04)
This paper presents a model designed to study vertical interactions between wheel and rail when the wheel moves over a rail welding. The model focuses on the spatial domain, and is drawn up in a simple fashion from track ...
