Nowadays, press-fitting is widely used in the manufacturing industry because it allows easy and fast installation repetitive, strong, inherently reliable. The quality of a assembly can be verified from curves forced monitoring. This study aims to investigate characteristics curve with various interference railway wheelset models determine limit that axles withstand at maximum holding torque wit...

the single wheel tester is an experimental device used to measure wheel forces when studying the relation of soil and wheel in a soil bin or in the field. in the model under development, a special frame holding the test wheel is connected to a loading carriage by two pairs of vertical rails and four rollers to provide a floating connection. by applying a driving torque to the test wheel shaft, ...

Apart from regular wheel wear such as decreasing wheel diameters and reduced flange thicknesses and heights, wheel flats (WF) and oval wheels (or OOR, Out-Of-Roundness) are the most common wheelset problems for railway vehicles. Within the FP7 Research Project “Saferail”, APT has developed an innovative wheelset monitoring system so-called “Wheel flat and Out of Roundness Monitoring (WORM) syst...

we find an explicit expression of the tutte polynomial of an $n$-fan. we also find a formula of the tutte polynomial of an $n$-wheel in terms of the tutte polynomial of $n$-fans. finally, we give an alternative expression of the tutte polynomial of an $n$-wheel and then prove the explicit formula for the tutte polynomial of an $n$-wheel.

the target of this study was to investigate the possibility of mdf productionfrom eucalyptus camaldulensis wood. mdf fibers were produced applying threelevels of steaming time. laboratory mdf boards were produced using thegenerated fibers and different pressing temperature and time. physical andmechanical properties of mdf panels were measured using relevant eu testmethods and were statisticall...

Wheel wear has been a concern in the railway for several decades. Studying the form change of the wheel/rail contacts in particular railways consisting of sharp curves helps to identify the risk of severe or catastrophic wear to minimize maintenance costs in order to be competitive in the transportation business. In this paper, the wheel/rail contact was studied on the particular railways. The ...
