@article{(Open Science Index):https://publications.waset.org/pdf/15724, title = {The Anti-Noise and Anti-Wear Systems for Railways}, author = {Brigita Altenbaher}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {In recent years there has been a continuous increase of axle loads, tonnage, train speed and train length which has increased both the productivity in the rail sector and the risk of rail breaks and derailments. On the other hand, the environmental requirements (e.g. noise reduction) for railway operations will become tighter in the future. In our research we developed a new composite material which does not change braking properties, is capable of taking extremely high pressure loads, reduces noise and is environmentally friendly. Part of our research was also the development of technology which will be able to apply this material to the rail. The result of our research was the system which reduces the wear out significantly and almost completely eliminates the squealing noise at the same time, and by using only one special material.}, journal = {International Journal of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering}, volume = {7}, number = {6}, year = {2013}, pages = {1025 - 1028}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/15724}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/78}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 78, 2013}, }
