Determination of the Load Spectrum of a Railway Track during the Operation of a Railroad Excavator
Abstract
In this study, a mathematical model of a railroad excavator was developed, along with a program to determine the spectrum of allowable loads in the entire working space of the excavator, according to which determines the spectrum of possible track loads at the excavator's supports on the rails.The results show that the track loads vary and depend on the position of the excavator and the size of the load.The study's findings can inform the structural analysis of rail elements and the selection of manipulator tools to ensure excavator stability.
