HUNTING MOTION OF THE HIGH SPEED RAILWAY BOGIES WITH INTERCONNECTION AXLES
Journal Title: ROMANIAN JOURNAL OF TECHNICAL SCIENCES - APPLIED MECHANICS - Year 2012, Vol 57, Issue 1
Abstract
The axle hunting is a coupled lateral and yaw self-oscillatory motion which is largely determined by wheel-rail contact geometry. The stability of this motion is an important dynamic problem that determines the maximum operating speed of railway vehicle. The progressive depreciation in the working time of the railway vehicles components as wheel wear, can lead to the intensifying of the vibration level. The weather can influence the lateral creep force coefficient and the hunting motion critical speed can decrease several times. In this paper is studied the influence of the wheel conicity and the lateral creep force coefficient to the hunting movement of a bogie with interconnection.

HUMAN-ROBOT INTERACTION AND TRACKING USING LOW COST 3D VISION SYSTEMS
This paper describes a platform which allows humans to interact with robotic arms using augmented reality. Low cost “kinect” cameras (Xbox 360) are used for tracking human skeletons and locations of robot’s end effectors...
BUCKLING CURVES FOR HEAVY WIDE FLANGE STEEL COLUMNS
This paper proposes existing European buckling curves to be used for checking the resistance of heavy wide flange columns made from mild and highstrength steel, failing by flexural buckling. Buckling curves are not avail...
VALIDATION OF NEW RIGID BODY DYNAMICS FORMULATION USING ROTATION MATRICES ELEMENTS AS DEPENDENT PARAMETERS − DOUBLE PENDULUM CASE STUDY
The method of using the rotation matrix elements as dependent parameters for the 3D rotation of a rigid body is currently very rarely used in multibody dynamics. Nevertheless, this redundant parameterization of 3D rotati...
EIGENVALUE ANALYSIS OF CURVED SANDWICH PANELS LOADED IN UNIAXIAL COMPRESSION
An energy formulation of a simply supported cylindrically curved sandwich panel loaded in compression is introduced and the corresponding potential energy function is evaluated. The mechanical model of a cylindrically cu...
