1 TH ARCHIVS OF TRANSPORT VOL. XXV-XXVI NO - 03 Mathematical Moel for Vibrations Analysis of The Tram Wheelset Anrzej Grzyb Karol Bryk ** Marek Dzik *** Receive March 03 Abstract This paper presents a mathematical moel for the analysis of the 05Na tram trolley small vibrations. In the paper there is also presente a physical moel of the analyse tram trolley, accoring to which the mathematical moel was create. The leas were mae sing the methos of analytical mechanics. For the moel, the Lagrange II type eqations were etermine in matrices form. Using the moel it is possible to create simlations of the 05Na tram trolley motion.. Introction In railway vehicle's ynamic moeling the Lagrange II type eqations are wiely se. These eqations allow obtaining a set of ifferential eqations, which escribes the physical moel withot internal reactions occrring between the objects of the moel. To escribe the physical moels sing the Lagrange eqations, it is necessary to introce the concept of generalize coorinates. The generalize coorinates are the least nmeros set of variables, which clearly escribes the position of an element of the physical moel. These variables' nmber is efine as a nmber of egrees of freeom of the analyze moel. Therefore, geometrical coorinates of each object forming part of the analyze moel can be represente by generalize coorinates an written as: Taesz Kosciszko Cracow University of Technology, Instytt Pojazów Szynowych, Jana Pawła II 37 Street, 3-864, Cracow, Polan **IPS TABOR, Warszawska 8 Street, 6-055, Poznan, Polan ***Taesz Kosciszko Cracow University of Technology, Katera Trakcji i Sterowania Rchem, Warszawska 4 Street, 3-55, Cracow, Polan

5 Mathematical Moel for Vibrations Analysis of The Tram Wheelset 59. Description of the Analyze Tram Trolley, its Kinematic Analysis an Physical Moel The analyze tram trolley is a part of 05Na tram's power transmission system. It was being proce in by Konstal instries in Chorzów. Nowaays it is the most nmerosly exploite tram trolley in Polan. The characteristic featre of the escribe tram trolley is a frame consisting of two parts joint connecte. Figre. presents fnctional moel of the analyze tram trolley. In this moel zero egree sspension was omitte. To escribe the motion of each of the objects in the moel there were se two sets of coorinates (figre.). The first set of coorinates (with the sperscript " ' "), which is rigily connecte to an object an its coorinate origin is sitate in the object's centre of inertia. The secon set of coorinates (withot the sperscript " ' "), moves with the nistrbe movement of the vehicle. When the object moves only with the nistrbe movement, both sets of coorinates are the same. The position of any point of the object in the secon set for small range of rotation angles changes is escribe by approximate relations (.): x x x ' y ' z ' C z y y y x ' y ' z ' C z x z z x ' y ' z ' C y x (.) In the analyze tram trolley the frame is constrcte from two parts, which are connecte by joints A an B (figre.). These joints limit mtal movement of the two parts of the frame. The frame's system has 7 egrees of freeom. As the generalize coorinates we can choose six coorinates escribing the position of the right-sie frame in 3D coorinate system an rotation angle between the frame's halves (the halves can rotate relatively to each other only aron the straight line connecting the joints A an B). Since both parts of the frame, consiere as inepenent objects, have egrees of freeom, an after combining them by bons the nmber of egrees of freeom ecrease to 7. Therefore five bon eqations were written. In orer to etermine these eqations there were set A an B points locations in the secon set of coorinates CiP, xip, yip, zip.

The same points in the set of coorinates relate to the left sie frame are escribe: x x k h A il il zil yi L y y k h A il il zil xil z z k h A il il yil xil x x k h B il il zil yi L y y k h B il il zil xil z z k h B il il yil xil (.3) The location of a point in the set of coorinates CiP, xip, yip, zip, can be escribe by se of the location in the set of coorinates CiL, xil, yil, zil, sing their relation (these sets of coorinates are mtally shifte figre 3.): x y z ip ip ip x z il y il ip k k (.4) Since both parts of the frame have together seven egrees of freeom, in the obtaine relations there are seven inepenent variables: xip, yip, zip, φxip, φyip, φzip, φyil.

14 68 Anrzej Grzyb, Karol Bryk, Marek Dzik The information on kinematic excitations, which may be the basis to complete the elements of the F matrix, can be se on the basis of the materials containe in the paper []. 4. Smmary In the paper there was presente the mathematical moel of 05Na tram trolley sing the Lagrange II type eqations' matrix form. For this prpose there were etermine bons occrring in the analyze moel. There were also set kinematic energy, potential energy an energy issipation fnction eqations, which serve to create wante mathematical moel's eqations. These eqations after connecting with box's or torsion pivot's eqations an with eqations moeling the wheel-rail contact forces can be written after transforming to the set of ifferential eqations form an then can be se to the analysis of small vibrations an stabilization of the vehicle's movement in mathematical programs sch as Matlab or Mathematica.
