Abstract: A correlation is demonstrated between the low-cycle fatigue properties and the scuff resisting properties of 4340 steel. Low cycle fatigue properties were estimated from measured tensile properties ...

Abstract: Developing an optimal train speed profile for energy-efficient train operation is significant in both theory and applications but very difficult and complex to achieve. An optimization method that minimizes energy consumption ...

Abstract: This study develops a time-driven train performance simulation (TPS) model consisting of train traction module, track alignment module, and train control module, which is applied to emulate the movement of a train, calculate ...
