Mathematical Model of Oscillations of Bearing Body Frame of Emergency and Repair Railcars

Abstract

Summary. Nowadays, the importance of maintenance and effective use of available railcars in the railway transport is growing, and researchers and technical experts are working to address this issue with the use of various techniques. The authors address the use of analytical technique, which includes mathematical solutions for flexural and longitudinal fluctuations of the bearing framework of a railcar body frame. The calculation is performed in connection with the modernization of the body frame of emergency and repair rail service car, taking into account the variability in section, mass, longitudinal stiffness, and bending stiffness. It allows for extension of the useful life of their operation, with special focus on vehicles owned by Joint-Stock Company "Uzbekistan Railways".The simulation of equivalent bearing body frame of emergency and repair rail service car was carried out using an elastic rod with variable parameters including stiffness and mass. The difference between the proposed model and the existing ones is due to the variability in cross section, mass, and the longitudinal and bending stiffness along the length of equivalent beam, which corresponds to the actual conditions of operation and data of the experimental studies conducted by the authors on the bearing frames of electric locomotives' variable sections.The frequency analysis that was carried out with the use of the Mathcad 14 programming showed that the frequencies of natural oscillations change on n harmonicas = 1, 2, 3 … 5. As regards longitudinal oscillations of system, in case of introduction of the damping subfloor, the frequency of natural oscillations of the upgraded rail car frame λ 1mn increases on comparing with standard λ 1n (for example, in case of n = 5 the frequency is 0.587 and 0.602 Hz/m, respectively).

Numerical and analytical method of calculation of dynamic strength of modernized air springs for high-speed electric trains

“…Then, in this article a numerical-analytical model was developed for the dynamic calculation of the side wall of the elastic shell of a modernized air spring in the form of a plate with a mesh frame; this model is a logical continuation of the calculation methods proposed in [7][8][9][10].…”

Method of calculation for dynamic strength of complex configuration frame structures of locomotives for transport engineering

“…For the electric locomotive VL-80s in the numerical calculation the value was taken as n = 8 , (and the error was δ =0,001). At justification of the dynamic model the following assumptions are accepted: the modernized main frame of the locomotive body is represented as an elastic rod (beam) with constant modulus of elasticity of the material E = const and density ρ = const, which has some static initial deflection radius R. The equations of bending-longitudinal vibrations for such a model are taken by analogy with the monographs [8,11].…”

Generalized dynamic model of hydrodynamic vibration dampener subject to viscous damping

“…This mechanical model allows us to describe the dynamic processes occurring in the system and calculate the dampener parameters taking into account the pre-set dynamic characteristics, which are important when calculating and designing new vibration dampeners for rolling stock, as well as when upgrading existing ones [4,18]. The resulting mathematical model also allows us to evaluate the influence of structural, power, mass parameters and track irregularities on the process of vibrations of the car body in the vertical and longitudinal horizontal planes, as well as the value of the dynamic load of the vibration dampener parts [19,20].…”
