Design of Wheel Flange Lubrication Experimental Apparatus
Nepovím, Radovan ; Dzimko, Marián (referee) ; Hartl, Martin (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with construction design and practical realisation of experimental apparatus for investigation of wheel flange track vehicle lubrication. Experimental apparatus in full-scale uses optical interferometry for investigation of lubrication behaviour in wheel flange contact. It is an innovative approach which has not been used for such experiments so far. The aim of the following measurement with this apparatus is to determine the minimal amount of ecological lubrication in wheel flange contact under certain conditions when there is no lubrication film interruption. The apparatus enables to measure real rail wear. This work contains the apparatus description for the study of wheel flange lubrication, wheel flange contact specifications, the description of its influence on wear and acoustic emission, and a detailed description of the experimental apparatus.

An Experimental Research of Sanding in Wheel/Rail Contact
Machatka, Martin ; Hruška, Marek (referee) ; Omasta, Milan (advisor)
Presented master's thesis is focused on the experimental research of the sanding parameters in order to improve adhesion in the contact between wheel and rail. Sanding is the application of the sanding material directly in the wheel/rail contact. It is still common, most effective and traditional way how to deal with low adhesion problem, which is mainly caused by environmental contaminants. Research is important for the better understanding of the sanding process and also provides data, which are necessary for it's optimization and efficiency improvement. Newly developed twin-disc machine was used to carry out the presented experimental research. The influence of common contaminants on the adhesion is investigated, considering various operating parameters. Different amount of the applied sand is used to increase adhesion in the contaminated contact at various slip and rolling speed. Results show, that there is the amount of the sand, from which no significant adhesion increase occur. Obtained findings and the results presented in this thesis will be used to optimize sanding system, which will contribute to reduce cost associated with sanding and low adhesion.

Analysis of contaminants in wheel and rail contact
Straka, Tomáš ; Galas, Radovan (referee) ; Kvarda, Daniel (advisor)
Wheel/rail contact is significantly influenced by so called third body – contaminants. Aim of this bachelor’s thesis is to analyse those contaminants in the contact and to create a brief overview. Short introduction into problem of wheel/rail contact is included, followed by description of main contaminants occurring in the contact. This thesis may be used as introduction into contamination of wheel/rail contact problem.

Methods for the wear determination of a railway wheel
Čížek, Petr ; Prokop, Aleš (referee) ; Řehák, Kamil (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the problem of measuring the wear of railway wheels. Railway wheels are subject to high loads and therefore their profile also suffers from high wear. Early exposure of a damaged wheel can prevent fatal train accidents, and hence there is a need to measure wear not only periodically in laboratory but also in during train operation. Wear measurement methods are currently divided into 3 types, the most developed of which are the on-track and laboratory measurement methods. On-train measurement methods are in most cases only at the study stage due to the difficulty of their application to the train set.
