INVESTIGATION OF EFFECTS ON THE CONTACT CONDITION AND THE COLLISION BEHAVIOUR OF A WHEELSET WITH A FLAT SET ON A ROLLER RIG BY THE SHAPE AT THE EDGE OF THE WHEEL FLAT

Investigation of effects on the contact condition and the collision behaviour of a wheelset with a flat set on a roller rig by the shape at the edge of the wheel flat

We firstly executed bench tests of a bogie having the wheelset with a wheel flat installed on the roller wonderstruck enchanted rig.A wheel flat of 75 mm was prepared on the wheel tread and the front edge of the wheel flat was rounded by the grinding work.By making the radius of the front edge large, the maximum vertical acceleration of an axlebox

Transient Pressure-Driven Electroosmotic Flow through Elliptic Cross-Sectional Microchannels with Various Eccentricities

The semi-analytical solution for transient electroosmotic flow through elliptic cylindrical microchannels is derived from the Navier-Stokes equations using the Laplace transform.The electroosmotic force expressed by the linearized Poisson-Boltzmann equation is considered the external force in the Navier-Stokes equations.The velocity field solution

A comparative life cycle assessment of fiber-reinforced polymers as a sustainable reinforcement option in concrete beams

Environmental awareness and the need for sustainable construction inspired researchers and practitioners to explore innovative alternatives that might reduce greenhouse gas emissions and energy use related to excessive structural work.One such alternative is the utilization of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) bars as a reinforcement in reinforced con
