An Experimental Method for Erosion Evaluation for a Roller Coaster’s Carriage

Abstract:

This paper presents the erosion behavior of the metallic structure of the roller coaster’s carriage using an experimental method for erosion evaluation which permits a comparison with several theoretical models. The roller coaster’s carriage body is a rigid metallic structure and most of the times, for an appealing design, the surface of the carriage is coated with a composite material which uses a non-metallic matrix. It is expected that the experimental study to be extrapolated to another mechanical system which is moving outside.
