Mathematical dependencies of characteristics of thermal levelling on elements of rail transport means

Abstract

At the present state of development the railway transport of Ukraine pays great attention to maintaining not only wagon and locomotive serviceability but also developing and producing new rolling stock units. Besides, residual deformations in the elements of railway transport means can be eliminated during production and maintenance. Among all known levelling methods for metal structures of rolling stock units one of the most effective methods for stabilization of their frame components is the local thermal levelling [1-5]. It justifies the reasonability of research aimed at mathematical description of the task of the optimization research into the thermal levelling in order to obtain the appropriate mathematical models.
