Assessment of the stability and loading indicators of two-axle mine cars and rail tracks

Abstract

The paper presents the research results of the stability and loading of the two-axle mine cars and rail tracks with various design for calculation schemes construction of transport systems of underground rail haulage. The dependences of changes in loading, stability and operation safety of rolling stocks from the parameters of irregularities, curvature radii of the rail track and the movement speed of rolling stocks at various technical solutions of the transport system, have been studied. The research results of the interaction between the two-axle mine cars and rail track with the gauge of 750 mm for underground rail haulage are presented. The parameters have been determined of the rail track irregularities in the horizontal and vertical planes, which cause the highest values of vertical and horizontal loads, acting on the rail track and the two-axle rolling stock. The recommendations are proposed for improving the study of the rail vehicles and regulatory documents development for the construction and operation of the track structure. The results can be applied for the underground rail haulage when creating the new vehicles for mines.
