Resistance and Tractive Effort

Resistance How much work is required to move something Train Resistance Two Elements: Rolling Resistance (On Level Tangent Track) Friction related wheel, track quality Aerodynamics of equipment Grade & Curve Resistance Track Profile Alignment related

Measurement of train resistance “Davis” equation (Total Resistance) R =1.3 W + 29N + bWV + CAV2 R = Resistance in lbs W = Weight, tons N = Number of axles V= velocity mi/h b = an experimental friction coefficient. A = cross-sectional area of vehicle C = drag coefficient based on the shape of the front of the train and other features affecting air turbulence etc.

Recommended values for “Davis” equation b A sq.ft Equipment Type 0.0024 0.03 105 110 120 Locomotives -50 tons 70 tons 100 tons and over 0.0005 0.045 85-90 Freight cars 0.00034 Passenger car

Tractive Effort Tractive Effort or Tractive Force, is the amount of force at the wheels available for moving a train.   Where: TE = Tractive Effort HP = power hose e = efficiency v = velocity in mi/h

Example Solution Take 5 Locomotives How many 5,000 horsepower locomotives at 85% efficiency will it take to provide the pull of the 77,450 lb. if the resistance of each engine is 1,200 lb. At a speed 90 mi/h ? Solution         Take 5 Locomotives

Ballast Layer of broken stones, gravel or any granular material placed and packed below and around sleepers mainly to distribute load from sleeper to formation. Several types are used around the world but mainly crushed stones In KSA: crushed limestone is used for most of the track lines especially in the central region (Riyadh area). But the problem is The limestone ballast stones chemically bonds to each other resulting in the track losing its elasticity

Functions of Ballast Provides level and hard bed for the sleepers. Holds the sleeper in position during passage of train (lateral and longitudinal stability of the track). It transfers and distribute the load from sleepers to larger area information. It provides resilience and elasticity to the track (leads to comfort and riding quality). It provides proper and effective drainage to the track.

Rail Sleepers Sleepers types Sleepers are members generally laid transverse to the rails on which the rails are supported and fixed. The main purpose/ Function of the sleepers is to cushion and transmit the load of the train to the ballast section as well as to maintain gauge. Sleepers types Timber or wooden sleepers {hardwood, softwood}. Metal sleepers {cast iron or steel}. Concrete Sleepers {Reinforced, Pre-stressed}.
