The presented article is focused on analysis of running properties of a modified railway vehicle and its components due to a change of the powertrain and influence of the mutual effects in a wheel/rail contact. The modification of a vehicle consists in a change of a standard diesel-electric powertrain by a new powertrain, which includes as a source of power the hydrogen fuel cells. This modification represents a quite significant modification of a vehicle structure, mainly a change of mass and position of centre of gravity individual articles of a vehicle. The analysis of running properties is performed by means of simulation computations in a commercial simulation software Simpack. Simulation model of a vehicle is called as a multibody model. This model consists of rigid bodies, which are connected by flexible modelling elements. Simulation analyses are performed for an original vehicle and for vehicle with hydrogen fuel cells. There are analysed cases of running on two types of tracks. There is found oud based on the obtained results, that the modified vehicle with the hydrogen cells has similar force distribution in a wheel/rail contact, however, the axle load of the modified vehicle does not meet required criteria.

In these days, railway transport is one of the most often used kind of transport of people and goods for shorter as well as longer distances. This is not only in many European countries, but also in other part of the world. Day by day people commute to work and to home by railway transport means, such as subway systems, light rail transits as well as by other kinds of railway transport means. The railway transport has several advantages, which make it effective, reliable, and sustainable in comparison with other kinds of transport [1]. On one hand, there are rail vehicles, which are powered from power line. On the other hand, there are rail vehicles, which has own source of power. The rail vehicles of the first group are called as dependent traction vehicles. The rail vehicles, which belong to the second group, are called independent traction vehicles. It is so-called a diesel multiple unit (abbr. DMU), it is a multiple-unit train, and it is powered by an on-board diesel engine. An DMU does not need to include a separate locomotive, therefore, an engine is incorporated into one or even in more of wagons. There is usually applied a diesel combustion engine, but, nowadays, some other alternative sources of energy are tested [2-4]. These diesel-powered single unit railway vehicles are further classified depending on their transmission type. In principle, there are recognized following types of DMUs: diesel mechanical multiple unit (abbr. DMMU), diesel-hydraulic multiple unit (abbr. DHMU) and diesel-electric multiple unit (abbr. DEMU).

The article presents the results of determining the dynamic load of the improved cover of an open wagon under operational conditions. The peculiarity of the manhole cover is that the canvas is formed by the upper and lower sheets, between which, there is an energy-absorbing material with viscous properties. The dynamic load of the cover when a load of 150 kg falls on it was studied. It was determined, that the use of energy-absorbing material contributes to the reduction of the cover load by 21 % compared to a typical original design. The main indicators of the dynamics of an open wagon equipped with improved manhole covers are calculated. The results of the calculations showed that the studied dynamic indicators are within the permissible limits. The conducted studies will contribute to the reduction of damage to manhole covers during operation and the cost of maintaining one wagons.

(University of Žilina, 2024) Dižo, Ján; Lovska, Alyona; Blatnický, Miroslav; Ishchuk, Vadym
The presented research is focused on a derivation of a mathematical model of a passenger wagon based on a dynamical model in a plane with three degrees of freedom. Vertical oscillation of a passenger wagon is calculated in two different software, namely Matlab and Simpack. It is considered that three degrees of freedom are defined as following: a vertical deflection of a front bogie frame, a vertical deflection of a rear bogie frame (in a running direction) and a vertical deflection of a wagon body. The Lagrange’s equations of the second kind method is used for a derivation of the equations of motion, i.e. for a derivation of a mathematical model of wagon oscillation. Subsequently, the derived equations of motion are solved in the Matlab software as well as in the Simpack software. Both software apply calculation in a time domain. Evaluation of the results is focused on an investigation of ride comfort for passengers. This ride comfort is expressed by the NMV index calculated in five points on a wagon body floor. These calculations come from the formulation defined in the corresponding standard. The results of the NMV indices are presented in the bar graphs based on the numerical values of the NMV indices.

Transportation is a quite complex system for relocation of passengers and goods for longer of shorter distances. Nowadays, a combination of several types of transport is typical for the most countries. Land transport includes road transport and railway transport. There are number of types of vehicles used for these individual kinds of transport. The most of them are able to move only on a road or on a railway track. However, there are a quite narrow group of vehicles, which can move both on a road and on a railway track. There are called rail-road vehicles. In principle, there are derived from road vehicle. The main objective of this rticle is to present an engineering design of an adapter for a light lorry. The work brings the main structural units of the rail-road vehicle and compares its properties with the previous engineering design. Despite, there are rail-road vehicles, this engineering design is characterized, that the adapter allows to set railway wheels to main track gauge.

Wheeled forests tractors are inseparable part of a forest economy. Wheeled forests tractors serve for logging of logs in forests. Current wheeled forests tractors are usually equipped with hydraulic arms, which allow to expand the utility of such tractors. A tractor with a hydraulic arm can handle with wood logs without a need additional forest machine, which helps to reduce costs. On the other hand, it is necessary to analyse tractors abilities, which has such an additional equipment. This article is focused on assessment of stability of a heeled forest tractor, which is equipped by such a hydraulic arm. As the hydraulic arm changes the centre of gravity of an entire tractor, mainly with the load, safe operation of the tractor needs to know limit conditions of stability under the maximal load and in the given slope inclination.

The efficiency of functioning of the transport industry necessitates the introduction of modern vehicles. Since the main segment of the transportation process is allocated to rail transport, the creation of modern wagon designs must be subject to special requirements. This applies in particular to their load-bearing structures. When designing the load-bearing structures of modern wagons, it is necessary to take into account the specified values of loads that can act on them not only when operating on main tracks, but also in combined railway-ferry transportation. This direction is quite relevant for many European countries that have access to international traffic through water areas of the seas.

Examining the mechanical part of the braking systems of railway vehicles allowed us to find out that the brake blocks of the most freight cars are pressed by their upper ends against certain wheel surfaces when the brakes are released. This causes additional resistance to the movement of the train and also causes significant damage to the railway infrastructure of Ukraine in the case of freight traffic. To eliminate the friction between the brake block and the wheel when the train moves in the traction mode and when using inertia, it is advisable to use a modernized device developed according to the UkrDAZT technology, which allows to reduce the running resistance of the train. This leads to a reduction in the consumption of fuel and electricity for the propulsion of trains and at the same time allows to reduce the operating costs of rail transport for energy consumption.

In order to reduce the dynamic load of the platform wagon, it is proposed to use an intermediate adapter between the frame and the load. The reduction of dynamic loads is carried out due to the dissipative forces that arise in the adapter when the wagon bounces. The results of mathematical modeling of the vertical loading of the platform wagon are given, taking into account the proposed solution. It was established that the accelerations acting on the supporting structure of the platform wagon are reduced by 8.5 % compared to the typical one. The acceleration acting on the load placed on the frame of the platform wagon is 11.8 % lower than that acting on it, taking into account the typical load perception scheme. The peculiarities of determining the strength of the adapter under its vertical load are highlighted. The conducted research will contribute to the creation of developments in the design of modern structures of railway vehicles.
