(Tbilisi State University, Georgia, 2018) Stankevych, Volodymyr Z.; Butrak, I. O.; Kovalchuk, Vitalii V.
EN: A three-layer composite with penny-shaped cracks in the field of harmonic torsional loading is considered. The solutions are chosen in the form of Helmholtz potentials with densities that characterize unknown crack opening functions. The problem is reduced to the solution of the system of two-dimensional boundary integral equations (BIFs). The influence of the frequency of the applied load, the ratio of the elastic constant parameters of the composite on the dynamic stress intensity factors in the defect vicinity is investigated.

(РС ТЕСHNOLOGY СЕNTЕR, Kharkiv, Ukraine, 2020) Luchko, Josyp; Kovalchuk, Vitalii V.; Kravets, Ivan B.; Gajda, Oleksiy; Onyshchenko, Artur
EN: The technical condition of the railroad track subgrade has been analyzed, as well as the issues related to ensuring its strength and stability when exposed to floodwaters and when the track's sections are overmoistened during operation. As a result, it has been established that it is necessary to develop methods aimed at improving the subgrade's carrying capacity. The georadar research has explored the problematic areas of the railroad track subgrade, based on which the distribution of subgrade heterogeneity in the vertical plane, as well as the boundaries of its location, were established. Therefore, georadar research makes it possible to detect hidden defective sites in the subgrade without disrupting its strength characteristics. A technique has been proposed to improve the carrying capacity of the failed subgrade of a railroad track using the combined arrangement of drainage pipes in the vertical and horizontal directions in the railroad embankment. The special feature of this technique is the possibility to drain water at the different levels of surface water, which provides for an increase in the carrying capacity of the failed subgrade. The strained-deformed state of the subgrade reinforced with tubular drainage has been investigated. The result has proven the effectiveness of the use of tubular drainages to improve the carrying capacity of the railroad track overmoistened subgrade exposed to constant and temporary loads. This study findings have established that the deformity of the subgrade increases when using tubular drainage, though this occurs only in the initial period of its arrangement, in further operation, when it removes water from the subgrade body, the carrying capacity of the subgrade, on the contrary, will improve due to the enhanced physical and mechanical properties of soils.
Improving a Methodology of Theoretical Determination of the Frame and Directing Forсes in Modern Diesel Trains
(PC "Technology Center", Ukrainian State University of Railway Transport, Kharkov, 2018) Kovalchuk, Vitalii V.; Kuzyshyn, Andrii Ya.; Kostritsa, Sergey A.; Sobolevska, Yuliia H.; Batig, Andriy V.; Dovhaniuk, Stepan S.
EN: The method for determining the directing force was improved, taking into consideration the effect of transverse creep forces and the angle of the directing force inclination to the vertical axis. It was established that when determining the directing force, it is necessary to check the gap between the wheel flange and the rail head which is difficult to realize without computer simulation. When determining the frame force on the axle of the wheel set, a comprehensive approach was adopted taking into account geometric irregularities of the track path, both in vertical and horizontal planes; longitudinal and transverse creep forces at the point of the wheel-rail contact and influence of adjacent wheel sets of the diesel train car. Dependences of the frame and directing forces on speed of the carriage movement and the value of amplitude of the horizontal irregularity of the rail track were obtained. It was established that when moving in the straight section of the track, an increase in speed from 0 m/s to 50 m/s results in a rise in the value of the frame force: up to 8.3 kN for the first wheel set and 19.37 kN for the second wheel set and the directing force up to 31.38 kN for the first wheel set and up to 46.83 kN for the second wheel set. The increase in amplitude of the horizontal irregularity of the track, which is one of the primary causes of occurrence of forced oscillations of the carriage section above the springs also leads to an increase in numerical values of the forces of interaction of the rolling stock with the rail track. All this can bring about an increased power influence of the wheel set on the track and a negative impact on the basic criteria of traffic safety. Influence of the carriage movement speed on the value of transverse creep forces was studied. It has been established that with an increase in the carriage speed from 0 m/s to 50 m/s, these forces grow from 0 to 15.75 kN for the 1st wheel set and from 0 to 29.22 kN for the 2nd wheel set. This indicates impermissibility of neglecting the transverse creep forces when determining the directing force. Comparison of numerical values of the directing force determined by different methodologies was performed. It has been established that the methodology used in conducting forensic examination of railroad accidents may result in underestimation of fulfillment of the derailing condition. At the same time, calculations according to the formula improved in this study give an opportunity to obtain the results most approximate to the real operation conditions. Comparison of the experimental and theoretical calculated values of the frame force acting on the first wheel set of the diesel train car was made and their practical coincidence was shown. Discrepancy of the compared values of the frame force was within 7.2 %.

(РС Тесhnology Сеntеr, 2022) Kovalchuk, Vitalii V.; Sobolevska, Yuliya; Onyshchenko, Artur; Bal, Olena M.; Kravets, Ivan B.; Pentsak, Andriy; Parneta, Bogdan Z.; Kuzyshyn, Andriy; Boiarko, Vladyslav; Voznyak, Oleh M.
ENG: This paper has analyzed the use of fiberglass pipes in the body of the railroad embankment by a method of pushing them through the subgrade. A flat rod model has been improved for assessing the deformed state of the transport structure "embankment-fiberglass pipe" by a method of forces when replacing the cross-section of the pipe with a polygonal one. The analytical model accounts for the interaction between the pipe and soil of the railroad embankment. To this end, radial and tangential elastic ligaments are introduced into the estimation scheme, which make it possible to simulate elastic soil pressure, as well as friction forces that occur when the soil comes into contact with the pipe. The deformed state of the transport structure "embankment-fiberglass pipe" was calculated by the method of forces and by a finite-element method under the action of load from the railroad rolling stock, taking into consideration the different cross-sections of the pipe. It has been established that with an increase in the diameter of the fiberglass pipe, the value of deformations of the subgrade and fiberglass pipe increases. With a pipe diameter of 1.0 m, the deformation value in the vaulted pipe is 2.12 mm, and with a pipe diameter of 3.6 m – 4.16 mm. At the same time, the value of deformations of the subgrade under the sleeper is 5.2 mm and 6.0 mm, respectively. It was determined that the maximum deformations of the subgrade, which occur above the pipe, with a pipe diameter of 3.6 m, are 4.46 mm. At the same time, the maximum vertical deformations of a fiberglass pipe arise in the pipe vault and, with a pipe diameter of 3.6 m, are 4.16 mm. It has been established that the maximum horizontal deformations of the subgrade occur at points of horizontal diameter of the fiberglass pipe while the minimal horizontal deformations of the subgrade occur at points lying on the vertical diameter of the pipe.

(Széchenyi István University, Győr, Hungary, 2022) Kovalchuk, Vitalii V.; Kravets, Ivan B.; Nabochenko, Olga S.; Petrenko, Oleksiy V.; Milyanych, Andriy R.; Hermaniuk, Yuliia M.; Dzhus, Volodymyr S.
ENG: The experimental studies results of temperature distribution over metal corrugated sheet structure surface at positive and negative ambient temperatures are presented. It is established that the temperature is distributed unevenly over the sheet surface along its plane. An analytical method for calculating the temperature field from a fragment of a structure metal sheet in the case of setting the temperature at the sheet area boundaries is presented. The calculation of the temperature field distribution on the metal sheet of the structure with the setting of the temperature along the contour of the sheet is performed. As a result, it is established that at the metal sheet boundaries there is a temperature difference, which can cause the occurrence of temperature stresses and deformations.

(РС Тесhnology Сеntеr, Kharkiv, Ukraine, 2021) Kovalchuk, Vitalii V.; Sobolevska, Yuliia H.; Onyshchenko, Artur; Fedorenko, Olexander; Tokin, Oleksndr; Pavliv, Andrii; Kravets, Ivan B.; Lesiv, Julia
ENG: This paper reports the analysis of methods for determining temperature stresses and deformations in bridge structures under the influence of climatic temperature changes in the environment. A one-dimensional model has been applied to determine the temperature field and thermoelastic state in order to practically estimate the temperature fields and stresses of strengthened beams taking into consideration temperature changes in the environment. The temperature field distribution has been determined in the vertical direction of a reinforced concrete beam depending on the thickness of the structural reinforcement with methyl methacrylate. It was established that there is a change in the temperature gradient in a contact between the reinforced concrete beam and reinforcement. The distribution of temperature stresses in the vertical direction of a strengthened reinforced concrete beam has been defined, taking into consideration the thickness of the reinforcement with methyl methacrylate and the value of its elasticity module. It was established that the thickness of the reinforcement does not have a significant impact on increasing stresses while increasing the elasticity module of the structural reinforcement leads to an increase in temperature stresses. The difference in the derived stress values for a beam with methyl methacrylate reinforcement with a thickness of 10 mm and 20 mm, at elasticity module E=15,000 MPa, is up to 3 % at positive and negative temperatures. It has been found that there is a change in the nature of the distribution of temperature stresses across the height of the beam at the contact surface of the reinforced concrete beam and methyl methacrylate reinforcement. The value of temperature stresses in the beam with methyl methacrylate reinforcement and exposed to the positive and negative ambient temperatures increases by three times. It was established that the value of temperature stresses is affected by a difference in the temperature of the reinforced concrete beam and reinforcement, as well as the physical and mechanical parameters of the investigated structural materials of the beam and the structural reinforcement with methyl methacrylate.
Research of Safety Indicators of Diesel Train Movement with Two-Stage Spring Suspension
(Technical University of Sofia, Bulgaria, 2018) Kuzyshyn, Andrii Ya.; Batig, Andriy V.; Kostritsa, Sergey A.; Sobolevska, Yuliia H.; Kovalchuk, Vitalii V.; Dovhaniuk, Stepan S.; Voznyak, Oleg M.
EN: The problem of the interaction of rolling stock with the rail track has been analyzed in the present paper. It has been established that in the process of transport science development a number of methods for determining the causes of wheel pairs derailment are developed, which, in a varying degree, take into account the peculiarities of their interaction. The problem of choosing the most accurate method for estimating the causes of rolling stock derailment becomes more complicated because of the lack of sufficient experimental data that would allow us to verify the adequacy of the models. The indicators of stability of the wheel against derailment, which are used on the railways of Ukraine and Europe, have been examined. Their dependences on the speed of movement were derived. It has been established that the increase of the speed of motion leads to the increase of the interaction power of the rolling stock with the rail track, which may, under certain operational parameters, provoke its derailment. As a result of the calculations, it has been shown that the use of norms for car design and calculation used on Ukrainian railways can lead to an inadequate estimation of traffic safety parameters, since it does not take into account the unevenness of the railway track. It has been established that the requirements of BS EN 14363: 2005 European norms are stricter in comparison with the norms for calculation and evaluation of the bearing elements strength and dynamic qualities of motor-vehicle rolling stock used on Ukrainian railways. A comparison of the experimentally and theoretically calculated values of the stability margin coefficient against wheel derailment of the first wheel pair of the diesel train car was carried out.
Theoretical Study into Efficiency of the Improved Longitudinal Profile of Frogs at Railroad Switches
(PC "Technology Center", Ukrainian State University of Railway Transport, Kharkov, 2018) Kovalchuk, Vitalii V.; Sysyn, Mykola P.; Sobolevska, Yuliia H.; Nabochenko, Olga S.; Parneta, Bohdan Z.; Pentsak, Andrii Ya.
EN: We have developed a comprehensive method to prolong the time of operation of frogs at railroad switches, based on the consideration of a longitudinal profile of the frog, the magnitude of dynamic forces and normal stresses. We have improved a longitudinal profile of the frog, brand 1/11, project 1740, by the method of surfacing under field operation conditions. The slopes of a trajectory after the passage of an average statistical wheel over the proposed profile amount to 3.7 ‰ instead of 10 ‰ for a standard profile of the frog. It was established that increasing a load on the frog to 60 % at the expense of a deflection under the frog beam leads to the accelerated disarrangement of the frog, as a result of fatigue defects at the rolling surface, while the cost of frog operation in this case increases by five times. We modeled a dynamic interaction between the rolling stock and a standard, as well as the proposed, longitudinal profiles of frogs. Calculation of dynamic processes of the nonlinear interaction between the rolling stock and a standard profile of the frog and the profile restored by surfacing, showed that the magnitude of forces for the proposed frog at the motion speed of 150 km/h is 50 % lower compared with a standard longitudinal profile. At linear simulation of dynamic additions of forces, the magnitude of forces decreases for the proposed profile to 30 %. We employed a graphical method to calculate the magnitudes of axial inertia moments and the moments of resistance in the characteristic cross sections of the frog. The estimation of the stressed-strained state of the frog was performed using equations of five moments for a continuous beam on elastic point supports. It was established that stresses at the static calculation of the frog are low and are much less than the maximum permissible magnitude of stresses for a given grade of steel. Therefore, we can argue that the frog works under a load at the expense of existing reserve of strength.
