Prospects in elongation of railway transition curves
PublicationThe paper presents an analysis of the elongation of transition curves in relation to railway track alignment correction and modernisation. The analysis is based on numerical computations for a wide range of parameters describing a typical railway geometrical layout with transition curves. The differences between the horizontal ordinates of the existing layout and the layout with the elongated transition curves are evaluated and...

Smoothed transition curve for railways
PublicationThe work draws attention to the existing situation in the area of transition curves used in the geometric layouts of the railway track. Difficulties in the practical implementation and maintenance of very small horizontal ordinates of the transition curve and the ordinates of the gradient due to cant in the initial section, appearing on smooth transition curves, were indicated. The main reason for this situation was the excessive...

Extending transition curve in analytical design method
PublicationThe paper presents the problem of extending the transitional curves, using for this purpose an analytical design method. The basis for the analysis of numerical calculations were carried out for a wide set of parameters characterizing the standard geometric system. We considered an importance of the size of radius of the circular arc and return angle of route on the obtained results after the formulation of appropriate theoretical...

New transition curve adapted to railway operational requirements
PublicationThe paper points to the limited possibilities of improving the existing situation in the area of transition curves used in geometrical layouts of the railway track. Difficulties in the practical implementation and maintenance of very small horizontal ordinates of the transition curve and the ordinates of the gradient due to cant in the initial section, appearing on smooth transition curves, were indicated. The main reason for this...

Transition curve with smoothed curvature at its ends for railway roads
PublicationIn the paper, in view of a railway ballasted track, a new concept of transition curve of linear form of curvature along its length and smoothed extreme regions is presented. For this purpose use has been made of an original, universal method for identifying transition curves by means of differential equations. Some general curvature equations for three regions investigated have been determined to be followed by appropriate parametric...

Wydłużanie krzywej przejściowej w analitycznej metodzie projektowania
PublicationW pracy przedstawiono problematykę wydłużania krzywych przejściowych, wykorzystując do tego celu analityczną metodę projektowania. Podstawę analizy stanowiły obliczenia numeryczne przeprowadzone dla szerokiego zestawu parametrów charakteryzujących standardowy układu geometryczny. Po sformułowaniu odpowiednich zależności teoretycznych rozpatrzono kwestie znaczenia wielkości promienia łuku kołowego i kąta zwrotu trasy na uzyskane...

Identification of transition curves in vehicular roads and railways
PublicationIn the paper attention is focused on the necessity to systematize the procedure for determining the shape of transition curves used in vehicular roads and railway routes. There has been presented a universal method of identifying curvature in transition curves by using differential equations. Curvature equations for such known forms of transition curves as clothoid, quartic parabola, the Bloss curve, cosinusoid and sinusoid, have...

Geometry of cycling track
PublicationThe paper describes the problems related to shaping of the geometry of the cycling track. The method of selection of the angle at the track curve is presented. Issues related to the selection of the appropriate transition curve and the superelevation section along the transition curve are presented. Reference to the recommendations presented in the literature and scientific papers has been made. Special attention...

Experimental study on the feasibility of alternative materials for tilting pad thrust bearings operating in transition to mixed friction
PublicationIn hydrodynamic bearings traditional bearing alloys: Babbitts and bronzes are most frequently utilized. Polymer sliding layers are sometimes applied as a valuable alternative. Hard diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings, which are also considered for certain applications may show some advantages, as well. Although material selection is of secondary importance in a full film lubrication regime it becomes important in mixed friction...

Krzywa przejściowa z wygładzoną krzywizną dla dróg kolejowych
PublicationW pracy przedstawiono koncepcję nowej postaci krzywej przejściowej, o liniowym przebiegu krzywizny na długości i wygładzonymi rejonami skrajnymi. Może ona stanowić alternatywę dla tzw. gładkich krzywych przejściowych, o nieliniowym przebiegu krzywizny na całej długości. Została tutaj wykorzystana uniwersalna metoda identyfikacji krzywych przejściowych za pomocą równań różniczkowych. Wyznaczono ogólne równania krzywizny oraz odpowiednie...
