T1 - Determination of the effect of sloshing on the railcar-track dynamic behavior N2 - Liquid cargo has a significant impact on the interface wheel-track interaction. The sloshing affects the track-railcar's dynamic behavior. The effect is detectable at the track level and at the vehicle. Its characterization requires the combination of different techniques: Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) Time-Frequency Maps Sloshing occurred when significant perturbations happened in the railcar: The railcar entered a curve Reduction in its travel speed A railcar with a tank is a clear example of a multibody dynamic system with a nonlinear behavior.

T1 - Determination of the Effect of Sloshing on the Railcar-Track Dynamic Behavior T2 - Multibody Mechatronic Systems N2 - This paper presents the study of the impact caused by a liquid Cargo on a railway infrastructure. The dynamic behavior of a tank car corresponds to a multibody dynamic system with several degrees of freedom. This study’s data were obtained from a scale experimental fixture consisting of a track and a railcar with a tank. The track was instrumented with strain gauges and the railcar with accelerometers. The data showed non-periodic and periodic terms; therefore, the results were analyzed with the Empirical Mode Decomposition method (EMD). It was found that the EMD identified the signal components that were related to the sloshing. These components represent the mode shapes of the original signal. The location of the sloshing in the track was found applying spectrograms to the accelerometer data. This paper’s experimental outputs suggest that the sloshing effect is detectable at the track and in the vehicle dynamics.

T1 - Forces on rails in turns: A review T2 - CONiiN XVI International Engineering Congress N2 - Regardless of the mode of transportation, directional changes generate greater forces on the infrastructure as a result of the lateral load transfer and of the respective steering forces in the vehicles. In the case of Railway transportation, a concentrated damage occurs in the rail at the initiation of the turning maneuver, whose magnitude depends on the bogie´s yaw stiffness and on the level of friction at its centre plate. To mitigate such rail-damaging effects, some new designs have been proposed and used for the bogies´ wheelset. However, no new designs for the centre plate have been used. In this paper, a review of the causality for the forces arising during Railway Vehicle's turn negotiations, is presented, including the description of a modeling framework to analyze the influential Parameters for determining the magnitude of such forces.
