DEVICE TO MEASURE HORIZONTAL FORCES BETWEEN WHEEL FLANGE AND RAIL HEAD DURING MOCK-UP TESTS OF ROLLING STOCK MOTION ON RAIL TRACK Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC B61K9/12 E01B35/00 G01M17/08 

FIELD: instrumentation.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to measurement devices. A device for measurement of horizontal forces between a wheel flange and a rail head during mock-up tests of rolling stock motion on a rail track consists in a rail mock-up in the form of a steel tape, fixtures, sleepers and sensors. In the area of measurement on the rail mock-up made in the form of a strip, material is recessed for the possibility of installation of a sensitive element in the form of a plate that follows the shape of the rail mock-up of certain length, height and thickness, which provides for separation of action of weight and horizontal forces in points of contact between the wheel and the rail.

EFFECT: increased accuracy of modelling and adequacy of testing results.
