Methodical approaches to the economic assessment of costs in the operation of cars with axial load of 27 tons at the section Kachkanar—Smychka by G. A. Granovskaya, A. I. Safonova, O. A. Suslov, N. S. Okhotnikov

“…Algorithms for calculating changes in the cost of fuel and energy costs for train traction and maintenance of the track infrastructure on the site during the operation of trains formed from cars with an axial load of 27 tons are given, as well as methods for determining the initial data for the calculation.Authors provide values of the coefficient reflecting the change in the impact of vertical and horizontal forces on the railway line when passing freight cars with an axial load of 27 tons compared to analogue cars, and the coefficient of change of the main specific resistance to motion separately for loaded and empty cars.Developed calculation algorithms and methods for obtaining baseline data allow an economic assessment of changes in infrastructure maintenance costs and fuel and energy resources for the operation of trains formed from cars with an axial load of 27 tons compared to those formed from cars with a load of 23.5 tons at the experimental section Kachkanar—Smychka.The cost change assessment carried out in 2017 shows a generally definite economic effect, while there is a reduction in costs associated with the consumption of electricity for train traction as a result of the operation of the estimated cars in the experimental section and an increase in the cost of maintaining the track superstructure and the roadbed, which is quite expected for the conditions of the organization of traffic with increased axial loads.…”

A New Slice Template Matching Method for Full-Field Temporal–Spatial Deflection Measurement of Slender Structures by Jiayan Zheng, Yongzhi Sang, Haijing Liu, Ji He, Zhixiang Zhou

“…Then, a slice template matching model is proposed by deploying a one-dimensional template matching model in every pixel column of each image frame, based on traditional digital image correlation (DIC) method. An indoor experiment was carried out to verify the proposed method, and experiment results show that measurement precision of STMM agrees well with the theory and the laser ranger, with a maximum measurement error of 0.03 pixels and the root-mean-square error (RMSE) of 0.052 mm, for transient beam deflection curve; with the correlation coefficient and coefficient of determination of 0.9994 and 0.9986, for dynamic deflection–time history curves at the middle-span point. …”
