SERIAL MEASUREMENTS ON RAIL TO DETERMINE WHEEL LATERAL FORCES

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

The rail-head bending procedure is described for measuring the loading on the rail due to the lateral forces of the wheels of motive power and freight cars for various conditions of track curvature and speed ranges up to 200 km/h. Comparisons are given for the lateral and vertical loads imposed by the different wheel and axle arrangements of this equipment at various speeds and of the stress effects on the rail. Charts show these relations, and the relations of the lateral forces to the curve radii. The side wear or abrasion of the rails is also shown in mm(super 2) per million gross tons rolling over the rail in relation to the curve radii.
