The paper is part of the publication series, which describe the most significant and innovative research and development design solutions and computational procedures as part of European structural funds project. The object of this article is strength conditions assessment of new structure of rail bogie frame, which is characterized mainly by better dynamic properties while driving on the track, good operational properties and higher safety against derailment. For validation of the new structure design, there has been created a substitute simulation model. Results of calculations and prototype tests prove, that new structure of the bogie frame satisfies strength assessments.
The aim of the article is to present the structural design of freight railway wagon with variable use of loading space with regard to the safe operation and assessment of the properties by the calculation methods of simulation analysis. Virtual model of wagon was created in a computer program PTC/Creo. After creating the construction, the calculation model of the wagon frame was subjected to the static and dynamic analysis in programs ANSYS and ADAMS/Rail. On the basis of computer aided simulation analysis was optimized the chassis frame of the wagon. This wagon will be able to offer even more capacity and utilize less resources and energy than current wagons for intermodal transport.
The analysis of operating conditions of traction drives of electric locomotives with asynchronous traction motors has been carried out. It was found that during operation in the output converter of an asynchronous motor, defects may occur, which leads to asymmetric modes of its operation. Models of a traction drive of an electric locomotive with asynchronous motors with scalar and vector control of the output converter are proposed, taking into account asymmetric operating modes. As a result of the simulation, the starting characteristics of the traction drive were obtained for various control methods both in normal and emergency modes of the drive. For the drive-in emergency mode, the following cases were investigated: the balance of the converter output voltages and the turn-to-turn circuit of 10% of phase A winding of the motor stator; imbalance of the output voltages of the inverter and an intact motor; imbalance of the output voltages of the converter and interturn short circuit of 10% of phase A winding of the motor stator. Comparison of the simulation results have shown that in emergency modes in the traction drive, the torque ripple on the motor shaft in the drive with vector control is 13% less, and in scalar control, the phase current unbalance coefficient is 22% less. The results of this work can be used to study the influence of the output converter control methods on the energy efficiency indicators of the traction drive of an AC electric locomotive.
Abstract. Article deals with description of non-conventional mechanism FIK and mechanism with ring, which may be suitable for special applications in the engineering industry. It is possible to use not only classical crank mechanisms, but also non-conventional mechanisms in design of piston machines. Investigation of kinematic parameters of the machines is important step to know its basic movement behaviour, and from this, it is then possible to create the alternate dynamic model or force analysis. For kinematic comparison will be designed the same basic geometric conditions in both types of models. In terms of comparisons will be monitored mainly points on wobble board and the main part will be determination of piston stroke.
