Abstract

The object of this study is the process of directing the bogies of model 18-100 freight cars along a rail track, in particular, along curved sections of the track. The task to be solved was to determine the influence of wheelset arrangement on the level of steering forces in the flange contacts.

A calculation diagram and a mathematical model of fitting the bogie into the curved section of the track have been built. The bogie loading scheme by external forces, including lateral rocking forces acting on the car in a curve, has been refined. In this case, the method of pseudo-statics of the mechanical system, which is a system of nonlinear algebraic equations, was applied. The calculation module Given-Find in the Mathcad software package (USA) was used to solve the mathematical model.

It was established that the misalignment of wheelsets in the frames of model 18-100 bogies was of an accumulative nature. At the maximum operating angles of misalignment of wheelsets, the lateral steering forces in the flange contacts increase by 40–60 % compared to the rated setting. These angles can be up to 0.015 rad (0.85 degrees).

The field of practical application of the results is railroad transportation, in particular, the system of maintenance and repair of freight cars on bogies of the 18-100 model. At the same time, the condition for the practical application of the research results is the expediency of introducing into the maintenance system the technological operation of controlling the deviation of wheelset arrangement in the bogie relative to the rated one.

The current study will contribute to the construction of a measuring system for monitoring the deviation of wheelset arrangement in the bogie relative to the rated one. This proves the expediency of introducing into the trolley maintenance system the technological operation of controlling the deviation of wheelsets and designing a device for monitoring this parameter
