EVALUATION METHOD FOR FLANGE-CLIMB DERAILMENT FOCUSING ON CONTACT POSITION AND TRANSVERSE CREEPAGE BETWEEN WHEEL AND RAIL IN RAILWAY VEHICLE

Evaluation method for flange-climb derailment focusing on contact position and transverse creepage between wheel and rail in railway vehicle

At present, running safety in Living Room Set railway vehicles against flange-climb derailment is evaluated based on derailment quotient.This approach is preferred because measuring contact forces between wheel and rail is relatively easier than measuring the contact condition, and the dynamic condition of the contact forces can theoretically deter

Radiation monitoring using imaging plate technology: A case study of leaves affected by the Chernobyl nuclear power plant and JCO criticality accidents

This paper describes the use of a photostimulable phosphor screen imaging Western Girths technique to detect radioactive contamination in the leaves of wormwood (Artemisia vulgaris L) and fern (Dryopteris filix-max CL.Schoff) plants affected by the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident.The imaging plate technology is well known for many striking p
