A removable module design is proposed to enable the use of open wagons for container transport. It acts as an intermediate adapter between an open wagon body and a tank container, ensuring the possibility of their reliable interaction. The dynamic lo...
The research is concerned with the use of double walls filled with aluminium foam for an open wagon in order to decrease the dynamic stresses during the operational modes. The research presents the strength calculation for the bearing structure of an...
Increasing the efficiency of the railway industry requires the creation of solutions aimed at improving the technical, economic, and operational performance of wagons. It would contribute to reducing the cost of their operation. One of the most damag...
This article presents mathematical modeling results in terms of the load-bearing properties of an open wagon body with corrugated sheet metal. The main hypothesis of this study is that the use of corrugated sheet metal will improve wall cladding stre...
The design of a removable module is proposed in order to enable the use of open wagons for container transportation. This module secures a container placed on an open wagon considering conditions for its strength under conditions of the operational l...
The study deals with an application of aluminum foam as an energy-absorbing material for the carrying structure of a rail car. The material is particularly recommended for circular tube carrying structures. The authors conducted mathematical modeling...
Increased volumes of freight turnover in international transportation require the situational adaptation of the existing wagon fleet to the transportation of containers, which are commonly used at present. The research presented in this article subst...
This research is concerned with the use of double walls filled with foam aluminum for an open wagon to decrease loading during operational modes. The research presents the strength calculation for the frame of a wagon with a consideration of the engi...
The overall stiffness and modal frequency of the car body of a rapid box car are reduced by the design of the full-side open movable side door structure. The vibration fatigue performance of the welded structure in this car body needs to be verified....
The article presents the results of a determination of the load attributed to rail vehicles transported by a ferry, considering the influence of sea waves on its hull. A mathematic model describing the displacements of a train ferry, which transporte...
The design of modern railway vehicles is increasingly inseparable from advanced computation and programming. As engineering challenges become more complex, sophisticated numerical algorithms and powerful computational tools enable designers to solve...
This paper proposes a video-based smoke detection technique for early warning in antifire surveillance systems. The algorithm is developed to detect the smoke behavior in a restricted video surveillance environment, both indoor (e.g., railway carriag...
