DEVELOPMENT THE METHOD OF THERMOMECHANICAL LOADING MANAGEMENT OF TRIBOLOGICAL CONTACT

At present, rail transport in connection with the economic situation is very important for solving the problems associated with increasing the efficiency and economy of the railway transport. It is necessary to modernize not only the infrastructure, but also locomotives and other railway equipment

The determination of the asynchronous traction motor characteristics of locomotive

The article deals with the problem of the locomotive asynchronous traction motor control with the AC diesel-electric transmission. The limitations of the torque of the traction motor when powered by the inverter are determined. The recommendations to improve the use of asynchronous traction motor of locomotives with the AC diesel-electric transmission are given

Usage simulation methods for education

The paper deals with usage of computer simulation methods for education at Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering and Signaling in Transport, Jan Perner Transport Faculty, University of Pardubice. Current situation of railway technics is very complicated and sophisticated both from viewpoint of railway infrastructure and from viewpoint of transport means. The particular parts of system are necessary to be analyzed from viewpoint of their behaviour and from viewpoint of influence to surrounding parts of the whole system. Therefore students as future railway experts must be trained for ability of problem identification and suitable design of problem solution. This readiness of experts for real operation of these devices is one of the main goals of lecturers from the mentioned department
