Novel Design for Passenger Railcar Retention Systems
SBC: PROTECTION ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS LLC Topic: 23FR2Additional passenger fatalities and injuries can occur in rollover-type derailment accidents due to failures of glazing retention mechanisms on passenger railcars. In recent accidents, a key failure mode is shearing off the external rubber gasket that secures the glazing panes as the side of the railcar drags along the ground. Once the gasket fails, the glazing pane is pushed inside, leaving an op ...

Resilient Wayside Structures to Reduce Severity of Passenger Equipment Collisions
SBC: PROTECTION ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS LLC Topic: 171FR3Additional passenger fatalities/injuries can occur during derailments involving interaction with wayside structures. Analogously, automobile fatalities often result from interaction of vehicles with roadside structures; personnel hazard reduction is a key design criterion for roadside structures. A similar approach for railroad wayside structures can be followed by incorporating damage mitigating ...

Development of Innovative Welding for High Performance Bridge Steel
SBC: KAI, LLC Topic: 132FH1With this research, we would like to provide new materials joining methods to the DOT. This will be achieved with a pulse energy store that has already demonstrated game changing capability in welding a wide variety of metals and alloys. The process we are proposing is known as Homopolar Welding. The weld is created by a solid state fusion welding process whereby high current is passed through the ...
