Abstract

This study elaborates the re-iterative, trial & error procedure adapted to reduce the excessive consumption of balancing weights in the railway wheel sets during wheel set assembling. The process involved MATLAB programming for dynamic balancing equations and CAD simulations to arrive at the solution. On the completion of the study and implementation of findings, the reduction in the consumption of balancing weight by 95.9% has been realized.

Abstract

This study presents a MATLAB-assisted approach for dynamic analysis and optimization of balancing in railway wheel sets. By simulating multi-plane dynamic balancing equations, critical sources of imbalance were identified and mitigated. The methodology reduced counterbalancing weight consumption by 95.9%, achieving significant cost savings and operational efficiency in production trials. Factors such as wheel eccentricity and machine calibration were addressed comprehensively. This approach validates MATLAB as a cost-effective tool for industrial applications, with the provided code enabling adaptation in similar fields.
