Railway Track Safety System
Abstract: Railway Track Safety System (RTSS) is a comprehensive monitoring system specifically designed for the Indian railways. It consists of three subsystems that target specific challenges faced by the railways. Our main focus is on addressing four key problems. The first two issues involve cracks in the rails and foreign objects on the tracks. Cracks can occur naturally or be intentionally created to derail trains. Objects like stones can accidentally roll …

Effect of Carbonyl Iron Particle Concentration on The Printability and Stiffness of Magnetorheological Elastomer Filaments
Abstract: Magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) are increasingly valued for their field-responsive mechanical properties, making them ideal for adaptive components in automotive, aerospace, and vibration control systems. However, conventional mould-based fabrication methods limit design flexibility, produce excess material waste, and are unsuitable for complex or customized geometries caused challenges that have hindered broader industrial adoption. Although 3D printing offers a compelling alternative, research on printable MRE filaments remains limited, particularly regarding how carbonyl …

Magnetorheological Composite Dampers for Railway Wagon Suspension: Modelling Validation and Performance Analysis
Abstract: Railway wagons encounter continuous vibrations due to track irregularities, resulting in reduced ride comfort and higher dynamic loads. Conventional suspension systems based on springs, hydraulic dampers, or air suspensions provide only limited vibration mitigation. This work investigates the application of magnetorheological (MR) fluid-based dampers, where a polymeric carrier oil (silicone oil) reinforced with carbonyl iron particles serves as a smart composite suspension medium. The MR fluid is synthesized and characterized …

High Efficiency Linear Motion Using Sequential Coil Electromagnetic Propulsion Train
Abstract: The Electromagnetic Propulsion Train project efforts on developing a model that proves linear motion using exactly controlled electromagnetic forces. Dissimilar conventional railway systems that depend on mechanical drives, traction motors, and wheel–rail friction, this model uses a coordinated arrangement of electromagnets positioned along the track to generate attractive and repulsive forces, which together produce the essential propulsion. This method reduces dependence on mechanical movement and highlights the possible of magnetic …

Analysis for Pier of Railway Bridge
Abstract: The load-bearing capacity of a pier is determined by the combined effects of the load from the train and the self-weight of the girder it supports. The bending of the pier is influenced by its height, which necessitates a careful assessment of the pier's thickness across various girder spans and pier heights. This evaluation ensures that the pier can withstand the imposed loads while adhering to permissible deflection limits. By …
