ARM Seminar Updates  Progressive Railroading magazine is proud to be the Presenting Sponsor of Wheel/Rail Interaction '08, the 14th annual seminar devoted to examining wheel/rail, vehicle/track interaction on rail freight and shared-track passenger systems. As in prior years, this cross-disciplinary seminar is produced by Advanced Rail Management, Corp. and Interface Journal, and focuses on bringing together track and mechanical users, suppliers and researchers for a better understanding of the complex interaction at the wheel/rail interface. Wheel/Rail Interaction '08 will present the latest information on new and existing technology and the ways in which it is being used to improve wheel/rail interaction on freight and passenger railways.  Back by popular demand, the "Principles of Wheel/Rail Interaction" will be held on May 5, 2008, in conjunction with the 14th annual Wheel/Rail Interaction Seminar. This intensive, full-day course will provide in-depth examination of the primary aspects of wheel/rail, vehicle/track interaction. Drawing from both theory and practical application, the course will cover contact mechanics, vehicle suspension, wheelset curving, track geometry, friction management, wheel/rail profiles and more — all of the elements that are required to promote a more complete understanding of vehicle/track dynamics and wheel/rail interaction. NOTE: Seminar attendance is NOT required to attend this course.The seminar will be held: Date: May 6 - 7 , 2008 Place: Chicago, IL CLICK HERE to visit seminar web site. |
