Assessment of the impact of TE33A diesel locomotive wheelsets on the railway track in a straight section of the track

The purpose of the article is an experimental study of the impact of the wheelsets of a mainline diesel locomotive on the railway track on straight sections of the track. The measurements were performed on a vibration measuring device consisting of MV25 DV type sensors and an oscillation converter for a digital signal. It is proved that the indicators of dynamic characteristics comply with regulatory requirements. As a result of the conducted research, digital data was collected from the ADC and general monitoring was carried out. Measurement and signal processing are carried out using special software of a personal computer such as a “Notebook”. Vertical static load of a wheelset of a railway rolling stock unit on rails: the load of a railway rolling stock unit on rails attributed to one wheelset, taking into account the actual location of the center of gravity of the superstructure.
