STAND FOR ANALYZING WHEEL-RAIL CONTACT PATCH

摘要

The proposed stand for analyzing wheel-rail contact patch contains a plate with a device for vertically loading the wheel, a support structure, and a device for determining the outline of a wheel-rail contact patch. The support structure contains a base member, a frame, which is installed at the base member, hydraulic power cylinders that are arranged on both the sides of the frame and coupled with the frame and the stand plate, and a rail, which is installed on sleepers fixed to the frame. The frame can turn at a specified angle in the horizontal plane by hydraulic cylinders. The wheel is installed between the plate and the rail.
