1. INDUCTIVE RAILWAY SWITCH POINT HEATING : Improved control algorithm and phase compensation analysis for an inductive turnout heating system, and comparison with a resistive heating system
University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för ekonomi, samhälle och teknikAbstract : Railway turnout heating is essential during the winter because snow and ice can hinder the movement of the switch. In Sweden, heating has traditionally been done using resistive heating wires mounted to the stock rail, but the technology is outdated and generally exhibits low efficiency and performance. READ MORE

5. Shock Load Absorption of Electro-mechanical Actuators
University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)Abstract : När ett ställdon får som krav att kunna överföra höga krafter i relativt höga hastigheter med en dessutom väldigt hög precision är elektromekaniska ställdon oftast att föredra. En traditionell pinjong-kuggstång-uppställning uppfyller vissa av de kraven, men om kraften ska ökas behövs det fler än ett pinjongpar. READ MORE
