Turning SKD 11 Hardened Steel: An Experimental Study of Surface Roughness and Material Removal Rate Using Taguchi Method by Shah Ashiquzzaman Nipu, Rezaul Karim, Aquib Rahman, Mahjabin Moon, I. A. Choudhury, Junayed Bin Omar, Marsia Sultana Khushbu

“…DFA suggested that, to attain a satisfactory response to the output parameters, higher range of cutting speed, depth of cut, and lower range of feed rate are appreciable; therefore, the analytical findings suggest that a cutting speed of 189 m/min, feed rate of 0.11 mm/rev, and a depth of cut of 0.5 mm can induce a favorable Ra of 0.971 μm and MRR of 10.248 cm3/min. …”

Performance Analysis of Prefabricated Steel-Spring Floating-Slab Track and Its Application to Urban Express Rail Transit by Xudong Huang, Ping Li, Xinwei Luo, Liang Ling, Abdulmumin Ahmed Shuaibu, Zhiping Zeng

“…As thickness increases, vertical displacement of the rail increases slightly, and lateral stability increases, thereby slightly improving the vehicle’s running stability. (3) When the intercity electric multiple-unit train travels along the prefabricated steel-spring floating-slab-track bed at different speeds, the wheel-axle lateral force, wheel-rail vertical force, the derailment coefficient, the wheel-weight reduction rate, and the lateral acceleration of the vehicle body are all less than the specified limits of Chinese code, thus fully meeting the safety requirements of train operation. (4) Appropriately increasing the vertical-support damping of the floating slab can improve the vehicle’s vertical dynamic performance, reduce the vertical displacement of the rail, and lower the vibration response of the floating slab. (5) Adding side-mounted vibration isolators at the joint of the floating slab could greatly improve the stability of the floating slab itself and appropriately reduce the vehicle’s vertical vibration response. …”
