Comparative stability of bogie vehicles with passive and active guidance as influenced by friction and traction

The stability of four bogie configurations is considered for a range of friction coefficients and traction ratios. The basis of comparison is the vehicle with conventional solid-axle railway wheelsets mounted in bogies with relatively stiff plan-view suspension. As improved performance of the wheelset in guidance can be achieved with various forms of passive and active guidance, bogies with yaw relaxation, with conventional wheelsets and active stabilisation and with independent wheels and active guidance are considered. Stability of each of these configurations is studied using a full nonlinear solution of the equations of motion. It is shown that the stability of the passive bogie configurations is very robust in the presence of traction and braking and variations of friction and that this is also true for an actively guided bogie with independent wheels. However, for a bogie with conventional wheelsets and active stabilisation, creep saturation effects can reduce stability significantly.     

高速动力车基础制动装置的设计思路

基础制动装置是高速动力车不可缺少的重要组成部分。基础制动装置应保证在满足高速列车制动距离要求的前提下，尽量减轻重量，并根据不同的转向架结构形式采用不同的制动盘结构。制动时优先投入动力制动以减轻制动盘和制动闸片的热负荷及磨耗。

焊接转向架电化学腐蚀机理试验研究

为揭示焊接转向架腐蚀规律,分析了焊接转向架所用钢板及其焊接试件在3.5%NaCl溶液中的腐蚀电位和交流阻抗.采用动电位扫描法测定试件的极化曲线并进行电偶腐蚀试验,得到焊缝处及焊缝两侧距离焊缝不同位置的电位分布规律.结果表明:焊缝处腐蚀电位最低,耐腐蚀性最差;试件焊缝周边钢板腐蚀电位较高, 09CuPCrNi-A焊接钢板腐蚀电位最高,为-0.458 V,耐腐蚀性最好;最大电偶电流密度为1.76 A/cm2,相当于0.018 mm/a 的腐蚀速度,应重视焊接转向架的电化学腐蚀.      

Dynamics of railway freight vehicles

This paper summarises the historical development of railway freight vehicles and how vehicle designers have tackled the difficult challenges of producing running gear which can accommodate the very high tare to laden mass of typical freight wagons whilst maintaining stable running at the maximum required speed and good curving performance. The most common current freight bogies are described in detail and recent improvements in techniques used to simulate the dynamic behaviour of railway vehicles are summarised and examples of how these have been used to improve freight vehicle dynamic behaviour are included. A number of recent developments and innovative components and sub systems are outlined and finally two new developments are presented in more detail: the LEILA bogie and the SUSTRAIL bogie.
