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.

TRENDS IN SURGICAL ROBOTICS
Surgical Robotics today is essentially about two families of devices, namely telemanipulators and simulators for mini-invasive (endoscopic) procedures. In both cases, the user-interface, i.e. the “joystick” to be manipul...
ON THE VIBRATIONS GENERATED BY WOODEN CHURCH BELLS
In Maramures County, Romania, there is Budesti Josani wooden church inscribed on the World Heritage List. The major deterioration of its 18th and 19th paintins represent a big problem in restoration program. The vibratio...
MODELING THE EVOLUTION OF FATIGUE FAILURE WITH PERIDYNAMICS
Holes and round notches are locations where fatigue cracks may arrest. Investigating the evolution of fatigue cracks after sinking into such a hole is important. Here we extend a recently proposed fatigue crack peridynam...
A VIRTUAL INTERNAL BOND MODEL FOR HYSTERETIC MEDIA
In this paper, the properties of the hysteretic media are investigated via the virtual internal bond model (VIB) derived from the hyperelasticity with the integration of the 6–12 Lennard-Jones atomic interacting potentia...
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...
