Abstract

In the present time, Indian railway is the major transport medium. It is so efficient, economic, and services are moderate eco-friendly technology. Changes are on the basis of engineering, logistics, time and luxury. The new structure has faced lots of challenges and every day demands led to some changes day to day. In so many years of Indian railway the tracks are challenging and quite tough which carries lots of load and still stands fit. But in some cases the track or the wheel fails which causes a disaster and loses. As experimental study is quite costly and dangerous, so software study on a model can provide aprecise result safely. Here a finite element model analysis on explicit dynamics workbench of Ansys software has been carried. A 3D model of the rail and the wheel on Unigraphics software is being developed, which is uploaded on the workbench and being analyzed. First the model is being meshed and further simulated for the results. The wheel and track mechanical properties are defined by the software based on the international standards.

Keywords: Ansys, Dynamics, Modeling, FEA, Stress, Deformation, Energy and environments auditing
