Ride of vehicles along curved track is a serious technical problem, which for the long term requires attention of vehicle engineers as well as track designers. It is especially interesting to observe behavior of tram cars passing a curved track, because they should be able to pass arcs up to 17 meter radius. Ride of a vehicle along such strongly curved track is nowadays accompanied by significant wear in rail-wheel contact, increased bogie and track stress and by generation of noise. One of the key causes of this unfavorable phenomenon is an increase of slip velocities in rail-wheel contact. This paper is based on simulation analysis, which compares...

The submitted paper presents possibilities of a simulation for a real manufacturing process in a company taking the risks into consideration. The risks may result from various sources in manufacturing environment. The most significant ones include a human factor, the processes in general and environs where the manufacturing process takes place. Risk can be viewed as a state where there is a possibility of a loss but also a hope of gain since one would never jeopardize the loss if there were no chance of a win. Because of the argument that a risk is perceived differently depending on the observer's experiences and objectives, it has become increasingly...

In this paper, the results of an investigation done with face milling are presented. The changes in cutting force and surface roughness were studied through changing the values of depth of cut and the feed per tooth. Meanwhile the permanent value of the undeformed chip cross section, which was determined (fz and ap), remained permanent. Increasing fz and keeping the same value of Ac chip cross section, the ratio ap/fz changed in five grades from 0.5 to 8. It is shown, that if the feed is increased in the examined range so that the chip cross section is constant, then the value of the cutting force decreases, which decrease can be observed in all three...

Recent development of the application of new kinds of material in transport and production technology places higher requirements on the technologist at the determination of cutting conditions. The assortment of recent kinds of cutting material enables to intensify cutting conditions while maintaining acceptable tool durability. The dependence of tool durability on cutting speed, or "basic law of machining", is the basic means to determine tool durability at selected cutting conditions. The paper contains a suggestion to modify the original Taylor equation on recent conditions of productive machining.
