the main design criteria of ballasted railway tracks include rail deflections, rail bending stresses, rail wheel contact stresses, sleeper bending moments and ballast sleeper contact pressures. numerous criteria have been defined for the design of ballasted railway tracks owing to the various mechanical properties of track components and their complex interaction. therefore, railway track desig...

this paper is concerned with investigations into the effect of tension between the stands of the finishing mill on width control in a hot rolling process. an analysis is given to predict satisfactorily the variation in width due to spreading and also due to strip tension between the stands. wusatowskis model which is developed to give an account of spreading is specified and a similar model to ...

Strip profile control in cold rolling of thin strip is a difficult and challenge problem found in industry. Currently using the novel type of strip rolling mill, such as the work roll crossing and shifting is the one of the main methods to control the strip profile quality in cold rolling. In this paper, 3-D finite element simulation models of the thin strip profile in cold rolling for the work...

Roll forming process is used for manufacturing sheet metal parts by successive bending and creating the final shape with gradual deformation. In this article, deformation of a pre-punched sheet due to the roll forming process was studied. Two main defects in the roll forming process are ovality of holes and bow defect. The ovality of the hole is influenced by the process parameters including sh...

A. Kawałek, Czestochowa University of Technology, Czestochowa, Poland The paper presents the results of asymmetrical plate rolling in the finishing rolling stand of a 3600 mill. The investigation was carried out for S690Ql steel sheets. Tests were conducted for two types of the asymmetric rolling process. In the first case, the asymmetry of the process was introduced by varying the speed of the...

The bearing vibration signal is a rich dynamic symptom of wear, and the rolling presents chaotic characteristics. Input output variables can be constructed through phase space reconstruction, imported into prediction model for prediction. accuracy extreme learning machine (ELM) model, Kriging RBF are compared, results show that ELM has higher accuracy, so chaos used to predict future time serie...

Semiconductor micro- and nanotubes can be formed by strain-induced self-rolling of membranes. The effect of geometrical dimensions on the self-rolling behavior of epitaxial mismatch-strained In(x)Ga(1-x)As-GaAs membranes are systematically studied both experimentally and theoretically using the finite element method. The final rolling direction depends on the length and width of the membrane as...
