Advanced Rail Geotechnology – Ballasted Track

by Buddhima Indraratna Cholachat Rujikiatkamjorn Wadud Salim

Ballast plays a vital role in transmitting and distributing the train wheel loads to the underlying track substructure. The load-bearing capacity, safe train speed, and the levels of noise and vibration, as well as passenger comfort depend on the behaviour of ballast through particle interlocking and the corresponding deformation of this granular assembly. Attrition and breakage of ballast occur progressively under heavy and continual cyclic loading, causing track deterioration and rail misalignment affecting safety, while exacerbating the intensity of track maintenance. In the absence of realistic computational models, the track substructure is traditionally designed using mostly empirical approaches. In this book, the authors present the detailed information on the strength, deformation, and degradation aspects of fresh and recycled ballast under monotonic, cyclic, and impact loading using innovative geotechnical testing devices. A constitutive model for ballast incorporating particle breakage is presented representing a more realistic stress–strain response. The mathematical formulations and numerical models are validated using controlled experimental simulations and fully instrumented field trials. Revised ballast gradation is described to provide greater track resiliency and extended longevity. The book also provides a detailed description of geosynthetics for substructure improvement considering track deterioration caused by particle degradation, fouling, and impeded drainage. New to this second edition are extensive discussions on subgrade soil stabilisation, causes and mechanisms of soil fluidisation (mud pumping) under cyclic loading, and preventive and remedial measures to alleviate undue instability of ballast tracks. This book should prove most beneficial for final-year civil engineering students and for postgraduate teaching and learning. It is an ideal supplement for practising railway engineers and researchers engaged in the challenging tasks of future track design for heavier and faster trains.

ADVANCED REDOX FLOW TECHNOLOGY This book serves as a comprehensive guide to redox flow technologies, from their basic principles to their applications. As a result, this book provides a thorough review of craftsmanship in the subject, as well as the potential for future advances. As energy becomes a greater global concern, redox flow technology must be considered as a possibility. There is concern over energy shortages and rising air pollution, paving the way for renewable energies like solar and wind energy which have been extensively analyzed and evaluated in recent years. These renewable sources, on the other hand, are intermittent and frequently unpredictably available, resulting in low-quality output energy and a negative influence on grid stability. To date, diverse types of energy storage systems have been designed for various purposes, each with its own set of benefits and drawbacks. In recent years, redox flow technology, particularly vanadium redox flow, has progressed substantially. Experiments at various scales have been successfully carried out, proving the viability of redox flow technology in bulk energy storage applications. In addition, innovative redox flow technologies that offer more energy storage per unit mass or a more cost-effective volume of the storage device have attracted a lot of interest. This book is intended to serve as a comprehensive guide to redox flow technologies, from their basic principles to their applications. As a result, this book provides a thorough review of the craftsmanship in the subject, as well as the potential for future advances. Advanced redox flow technology has sparked interest in bulk energy storage due to its flexibility in design, safety in operation, efficient energy storage, and near-zero environmental impact.

Advanced System Development Technologies I (Studies in Systems, Decision and Control #511)

by Mykhailo Bezuglyi Nadiia Bouraou Volodymyr Mykytenko Grygoriy Tymchyk Artur Zaporozhets

This book covers vibroacoustic monitoring, inertial attitude systems, and control system for device processing in complex objects. Modern approaches to the synthesis of algorithmic support for a strapdown inertial attitude system are considered. The general characteristics of navigation systems and the composition of their inertial measurement unit are given. The methods of initial alignment of the system on a stationary base are described. Particular attention is paid to the attitude kinematic parameters of the body frame and methods of their numerical integration. Picard's methods for integrating the Bortz and Poisson kinematic equations are shown. An algorithm for a strapdown inertial attitude system based on using real signals of high-precision laser gyroscopes is proposed. System simulation was carried out using the proposed algorithmic methods. The relevance of the control system created for the processing device parts in the conditions of automated manufacturing is substantiated. Theoretical studies are presented, and the relation between electrical signals, the level of tool wear, and the main reasons for generating electrical signals are identified. A mathematical model of cutting tool wear control was developed based on measuring the variable component of cutting electromotive force. A control system for processing device parts on computer numerical control machines in automated production conditions has been developed. It allows for recording critical wear and breakage of the cutting tool, performing its dimensional adjustment directly on the device, and carrying out its industrial approval in flexible production systems.
