Effects of Slow-Acting Brakes Application Time Regulated Limits on Freight In-Train Forces

Abstract:

The paper originally investigates the influence of the admitted ranges of slow-acting filling time of brake cylinder on longitudinal dynamics of freight trains, using experimental air pressure data obtained in tests on filling characteristics. Mechanical and pneumatic models are summarized and numerical simulations were performed for a train composed of six wagon train, in different filling characteristics configurations. The results reflect significant effects on in-train forces values, while evolution and disposition of compression and tensile forces between neighbored vehicles in the long of the train are also affected.
