Design of Experimental Stand for the Study of Railway Vehicles Sanding
Galas, Radovan ; Hruška, Marek (referee) ; Šperka, Petr (advisor)
Presented master’s thesis describes the design and the implementation of an experimental device used for the study of tribological aspects of wheel-rail contact. In this work, the reader will first learn the fundamentals such as adhesion, slip, traction curve, etc. Subsequently, the work is describing devices that are used for the study of wheel-rail contact around the world. This section is followed by the author proposed solution. The result is a twin disc device in the scale of 1:3. The device allows determining traction characteristics for different environmental conditions (presence of water, sand and oil in contact for different temperatures) and various operating parameters (contact pressure and speed). A part of this work are also the validation experiments and complete design documentation.
Trains´ Speed in Switches and Crossings
Horák, Matouš ; Jacura,, Martin (referee) ; Svoboda, Richard (advisor)
Master‘s thesis follows up velocity of trains in railway stations. There are described parameters, which influence the velocity, effect of railway signalling and traction skills of trains as well. In a practical part there is described direct measuring including reasons for a locality choice. Follows a simulation in OpenTrack programme. Conclusion compares both methods.
