Static Wheel Load given Dynamic Load Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Static Load = Dynamic Overload-0.1188*Speed of Train*sqrt(Unsuspended Mass)
F_a = F-0.1188*V_t*sqrt(w)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 4 Variables

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Static Load - (Measured in Ton-Force (Metric)) - Static Load is defined as the stationary load used for easy calculation of stress and moments.
Dynamic Overload - (Measured in Ton-Force (Metric)) - Dynamic overload is load due to small diameter wheels with higher unsuspended masses.
Speed of Train - (Measured in Kilometer per Hour) - Speed of Train is the rate at which the object covers a specific distance.
Unsuspended Mass - (Measured in Ton-Force (Metric)) - Unsuspended Mass, also called unsprung mass per wheel is the mass on rail due to small diameter wheels used in modern trains.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Dynamic Overload: 311 Ton-Force (Metric) --> 311 Ton-Force (Metric) No Conversion Required
Speed of Train: 149 Kilometer per Hour --> 149 Kilometer per Hour No Conversion Required
Unsuspended Mass: 40 Ton-Force (Metric) --> 40 Ton-Force (Metric) No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

F_a = F-0.1188*V_t*sqrt(w) --> 311-0.1188*149*sqrt(40)

Evaluating ... ...

F_a = 199.047781363655

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1951991.92510975 Newton -->199.047781363655 Ton-Force (Metric) (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

199.047781363655 ≈ 199.0478 Ton-Force (Metric) <-- Static Load

Static Wheel Load given Dynamic Load Formula

LaTeX Go

Static Load = Dynamic Overload-0.1188*Speed of Train*sqrt(Unsuspended Mass)
F_a = F-0.1188*V_t*sqrt(w)

What happens if the wheels have unsuspended mass?

Due to modernization, Indian Railways is progressively using more and more number of diesel and electric engines. These engines have smaller diameter of wheels with higher unsprung (unsuspended) masses. This leads to dynamic overloading of joints resulting in the faster deterioration of the track near joints.
