DECELERATION AND DEFORMATION DURING DYNAMIC LOADING OF MODEL CAR BODY PARTS AFTER POST-ACCIDENT REPAIR

Damian HADRYŚ/ Andrzej KUBIK/ Zbigniew STANIK

Absorption of impact energy by the passive safety elements of the vehicle body is the basic feature to ensure conditions of safety for the driver and passengers in transport. The parts especially designed for this objective in the self-supporting car body are longitudinals. Their energy-absorbing features are designed in different ways. Evaluation of the degree to which the vehicle (body) ensures safety during a collision is difficult and expensive. Usually, tests under impact conditions are req(..)

POWER FLOWS IN A HYDROSTATIC-MECHANICAL TRANSMISSION OF A MINING LOCOMOTIVE DURING THE BRAKING PROCESS

Vadym SAMORODOV/ Anatoliy BONDARENKO/ Igor TARAN/ Iryna KLYMENKO

This paper considers the braking process of a mine diesel locomotive with hydrostatic mechanical transmission (HSMT) operating according to the “input differential” scheme. Braking process modeling involves four implementation methods. Identification and systematization of basic regularities in the distribution of power flows within a closed transmission contour in the process of braking have been performed with the help of software support developed by means of MatLab/Simulink. The simulation r(..)

INFLUENCE OF SYNTHETIC FUEL ON NITRILE RUBBERS USED IN AVIATION

Tomasz BIAŁECKI/ Bartosz GAWRON/ Bolesław GIEMZA/ Jadwiga GŁĄB

This paper investigates the influence of alternative fuel on selected butadiene–acrylonitrile rubbers used as seals in engine and fuel supply systems of postSoviet aircrafts. The conventional fuel Jet A-1, the synthetic blending component from hydrotreated esters and fatty acids (HEFA) and its blend were interacted with the sample nitrile rubbers. HEFA technology has been approved by ASTM D7655 for use in turbine aircraft engines. The effect was evaluated on the basis of changes in the nitrile r(..)

EFFECT OF FAIL-SAFE MODE ON THE DAMPING CHARACTERISTICS OF A BYPASS-CONTROLLED SHOCK ABSORBER

Łukasz KONIECZNY

The article provides and discusses results of tests of a bypass-controlled hydraulic shock absorber studied at a test stand (mechanical inductor), making it possible to plot work charts and determine velocity characteristics. Measurements of the shock absorber performance were conducted at different values of velocity and forced travel. The measurements were carried out for two statuses, i.e. for the emergency power failure condition and for normal setting. The results thus obtained can be used (..)

INFLUENCE OF MOTORIZATION DEVELOPMENT ON CIVILIZATION DISEASES

Piotr GORZELANCZYK/ Martin JURKOVIC/ Tomas KALINA/ Jarmila SOSEDOVA/ Vladimir LUPTAK

The health style of the population has deteriorated in the last 10 years, given the possibilities offered by an increasingly advanced civilization. The paper attempts to find the answer to the question whether the development of motorization has an effect on civilization diseases. To this end, the paper began with an analysis of the registered number of means of transport in Poland and an analysis of the number of cases of malignant and respiratory tract cancers. Then, the focus was on the analy(..)

ALUMINUM ALLOY WELDING IN AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY

Bożena SZCZUCKA-LASOTA/ Tomasz WĘGRZYN/ Adam JUREK

The paper presents the possibilities of using light alloy components in vehicle construction. Material 6082 was chosen for use in responsible structural components. The structure and strength parameters of the material in the delivery state were tested. Tested material parameters were compared with normative requirements. The purpose of the paper is to check the mechanical properties of aluminum alloy welded joints by various processes and parameters. Until now, welding of 6082 alloy did not giv(..)

THREE- AND FOUR-MASS MODELS FOR VEHICLE FRONT CRUMPLE ZONE

Vaidas LUKOŠEVIČIUS/ Robertas KERŠYS/ Artūras KERŠYS/ Rolandas MAKARAS/ Janina JABLONSKYT

The article deals with the applicability of the three- and four-mass crumple zone models by optimization of the vehicle front crumple zone in case of a collision. The possibilities for integrating the requirements for individual crumple zones are discussed. The crumple model for special crumple zone elements has been proposed. Optimum parameter limits for the deformable elements have been identified, and complex influence of the damping elements used has been demonstrated. The need for adjustmen(..)

EXPERIMENTAL AND THEORETICAL EVALUATION OF SIDE TAMPING METHOD FOR BALLASTED RAILWAY TRACK MAINTENANCE

Michal PRZYBYLOWICZ/ Mykola SYSYN/ Vitalii KOVALCHUK/ Olga NABOCHENKO/ Bogdan PARNETA

Ballast layer is the most weak element of railway track that causes track geometry deterioration. At the same time, it is subjected to intensive particle breakage during the corrective tamping. This causes high maintenance costs of ballasted track. The present paper is devoted to the study of tamping methods. The present machine tamping methods are considered and compared. The possible influence of the tamping technology on the ballast-related maintenance costs is analyzed. The side tamping tech(..)
