The common use of UIC Pneumatic braking plant in long freight trains may involve time delays in the application of the braking forces along the convoy. This variable braking action along the train may cause heavy longitudinal efforts that could lead to wagons damaging and even cause train derailment. Simulations of these phenomena are very important both for safety and economic reasons since lo...

The use of fibre reinforced composite materials is one method by which the lightweighting rail vehicles can be achieved. However, issue impact damage, amongst other challenges, limits their safety certification. This accentuated high levels loading a vehicle may subjected to during service. paper addresses significance pre-tension on large structures, specifically for redesign pressure vessel f...

Railway transport is considered relatively environmentally friendly in terms of energy consumption and air pollution, but it unfriendly noise pollution. Noise vibrations propagating to railroad surrounding areas are disturbing populations. In order minimize this noise, legislation regulations such as TSI NOI have been adopted research generated by railway has carried out. Such out also our team...
