Design of a test chamber to study the emission of solid particles from the wheel-rail contact
Rosecký, Vojtěch ; Galas, Radovan (referee) ; Omasta, Milan (advisor)
In order to study dust particles released from the contact of the wheel and as a result of wear and the application of friction-modifying materials in the contact, a two-disk device simulating this contact was developed at the Institute of Design. A test chamber was added to prevent particles from escaping from the twin-disc device into the environment and to allow their analysis. The main goal of the thesis was to construct the test chamber. Sub-goals included the concept design, construction, preparation of the production documentation and implementation. All required objectives have been met and the working chamber is ready for experiments, although some elements of the chamber would be modified in the near future. The benefit of this work is the completion of a twin-disc tribometer, which can be used for solid particle emission research.
