METHOD OF STANDARDIZATION, ESTIMATION AND CORRECTION OF LOADING LEVEL OF TRANSPORT FACILITIES UNDER TEST TO PROVIDE THE CONDITIONS OF REPRODUCIBILITY OF THEIR RELIABILITY Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: test of transport facilities for reliability (no-failure operation and durability). SUBSTANCE: standardization, estimation and correction of the loading level of transport facilities are accomplished by controlled variation of road conditions of tests so as to provide the reproducibility of their no-failure operation and durability on various proving grounds due to the use of the coefficient of summary tractive resistance; the quantitative value of the accumulated loading level is calculated from the following relationship: W_j = ψ_Σj•S_j, where S_j - run of the j road, km; ψ_Σj - coefficient of summary tractive resistance on the j bearing surface. The level of loading of the transport facility under test expressing the measure of action of each road on the specimen under test is standardized, estimated and corrected through the index of accumulated loading level determined through the coefficient of summary tractive force and the run carried out. EFFECT: facilitated procedure. 2 cl, 1 dwg, 1 tbl
