The traffic speed increasing on the railways makes strict requirements to the supporting and supporting structures of the contact network, as well as to the parameters and indicators of the contact suspension. The presence of dry friction in the cantilever attachment points indicates a negative effect on the accuracy of adjusting the wires of the contact suspension and on its parameters. The article presents the results of studies of the dry friction value in the console fastening points depending on the type of the contact suspension and suggests a method for reducing friction in the console attachment points. The results of calculations of the effect of friction in the console attachment points on the tension variation along the length of the anchor section are presented.

The article deals with the issue of the formation of defects of thermomechanical origin (sliders) on the rolling surface of wagon wheels during their skidding along the rail, since such defects affect traffic safety to a greater extent. In addition, such defects on the tread surface of the wheel are difficult to eliminate in the repair industry. It is known that the slider is formed when the wheel is jammed and its translational movement (sliding) along the rail, the so-called skid. As a result, in the area of contact between the wheel and the rail, intensive wear of the wheel material is observed, as a softer element, and a wear area (slider) is formed. The slider is evaluated by such a parameter as the depth relative to the wheel tread. An algorithm for calculating the depth of the slider is given under the condition of a short-term movement of the wheel along the rail skidding. The initial data were determined and a calculation was made with the construction of graphs that reflect the dependence of the slider depth on the speed of the rolling stock and the load on the axle of the wheelset during short-term skidding. A technique for calculating the maximum temperatures in a pair of sliding friction "wheel-rail" is described. The values of the maximum temperatures in the contact patch are calculated when the wheel moves along the rail skidding. Based on the results of the calculations, graphs of changes in the maximum temperatures on the wheel tread surface in the area of friction on the rail under various operating conditions were plotted. An assessment is made of the possibility of indirect determination of the depth of the hardened metal layer in the area of the slider, depending on its dimensions, measured when the wheelset was received for repair.

This article discusses the problem of loss of elastic properties of Pandrol Fastclip rail fasteners during operation. The research is related to predicting the dynamics of changes in the elastic properties of the Pandrol Fastclip clamping terminals during their long-term operation and provides for the creation of control methods (regulation) by pressing the fastening terminals on the sole of the rails, which guarantees the safety of trains with set speeds. On the basis of the conducted research, the design of a device that increases the pressing force of the fastening terminals on the sole of the rails has been developed. This device will provide optimal parameters for attaching rails to the sub-rail base at all stages of railway track operation. At the same time, there will be no need to replace the expensive imported elastic terminals of the Pandrol Fastclip fastening in cases of a decrease in the elasticity of the terminals in the current path. The research results are relevant for dozens of foreign railways where modifications of the Pandrol Fastclip fastener are operated: Pandrol Fastclip FC, Pandrol Fastclip FCA, Pandrol Fastclip FE, Pandrol 350, Pandrol SFC, Pandrol 1520, etc. The proposed technology for carrying out work to improve the technical condition of the intermediate rail fastening structure will not require the provision of "windows" in train schedules, which will not affect the carrying capacity and capacity of the railway track and will not affect the delays of scheduled trains.

Issues related to the wear of the rail and wheel tread of a locomotive are always of great interest to both operational services and scientists. Knowledge of the influence of technical and operational factors on the intensity of wear of the materials of the contacting bodies would save material and financial resources. The proposed article is devoted to determining one of these parameters, namely, the depth of indentation of the material of the rail head into the material of the wheel rim flange. The force interaction of the bandage crest and the rail head occurs mainly at the level of irregularities in the contact area. The wear of the material of the contacting bodies will be determined by the depth of penetration of irregularities in the contact area and the speed of relative slip. An important parameter for assessing the magnitude and nature of wear is the relative penetration depth of the contacting bodies. In this case, the magnitude of the collapse of one of the contacting bodies is equal to the depth of penetration of another body into it. Calculations of the main radii of curvature of the surfaces of the rail head and bandage crest at the point of their contact are made, and the dimensions of the contact area are determined. As a result, expressions were obtained for calculating the depth of mutual penetration of the materials of the shroud crest and the rail head. The rail head material has a deeper penetration into the shroud tongue material. The force contact between the bandage crest and the rail occurs mainly within the limits of plastic deformation of their materials. Formulas are obtained for determining the magnitude of the approach of the contacting bodies and the highest normal stress in the contact zone. An estimate of the values of the collapse of the material of the rail head and the bandage crest was made, which makes it possible to judge the percentage of their wear. With force contact, the wear of the wheel rim flange is much higher than the wear of the rail head.

The necessity of searching for new methods to improve the dynamic rationalized properties of the traction drive, which does not create contradictions between the conclusions based on the results of numerical parametric analysis and the results of the analysis of nonparametric factors, is established. A modified base point method is proposed that takes into account the possible presence of areas of conservatism of a rational parameter and provides for a procedure for checking for conservatism. The search results using this method for a rational version of a traction drive with a support-frame suspension of an electric motor and a gear reducer coincide with the empirical choice of different manufacturers of locomotives.
