Tensegrity is a design principle that applies when a discontinuous set of compression elements is opposed and balanced by a continuous tensile force, thereby creating an internal prestress that stabilizes the entire structure.

Thanks to funding from Federal Railroad Administration, our team has continued to consider novel ways to monitor track health leveraging novel 3D Laser Triangulation data from the Pavemetrics Systems Inc. LRAIL system. Our most recent paper on the topic led by RailTEC at Illinois Alum Ian Germoglio Barbosa, M.Sc. E.I.T. has just been published in the Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part F: Journal of Rail and Rapid Transit.  The paper presents the development of Track Component Heath Indices (TCHIs) (i.e., quantitative values that objectively assess track condition and provide a means to monitor condition change with time and tonnage). The TCHIs rely on railway track mechanics, high axle load (HAL) railroad engineering practical judgment, and FRA regulations. Thanks to our industry partners involved BNSF Railway, Union Pacific Railroad, CSX as well as MxV Rail for additional field support. And finally, thanks to Arthur Lima and J. Riley Edwards, Ph.D, P.E. for assisting in co-authoring this paper. https://lnkd.in/gVPu7Vbe #RailTECPublication #publication #research #inspection

`++ News from Research and Development ++ In our experimental #laboratory, we are taking a closer look at the intricacies of the oil return system in mechanical power regulation. For this purpose, we have set up a test configuration with glass pipelines to be able to observe the processes closely. We also presented the experiment during our Altenstädter Kältetage. In the video, you can see a brief teaser of the experiment #staytuned.

The ASME (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers) Turbo Expo is back for the 2024 edition and at Ergon Research we are excited to attend it again! This year we are presenting another outcome of HPacC-WIND (FF4EUROHPC project), co-partnered by Galebreaker and CINECA, and funded by FF4EuroHPC under the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU). In the last years, a #CFD methodology was developed to determine the impact of wind speed and direction on the performance of Air-Cooled Condensers (ACC). In addition, the presence of porous wind screens was modelled to assess their benefits on the power plant performance. At the end of the project, a #digitaltwin was created, combining the ACC heat transfer performance predicted by CFD, a thermodynamic model of the steam cycle and appropriate weather forecasts. This way, it was possible to estimate the payback period for the investment in windshields, which was always less than a year for the selected locations. The paper is entitled "𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐙𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐎𝐅 𝐖𝐈𝐍𝐃𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐄𝐋𝐃 𝐄𝐅𝐅𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐒𝐒 𝐈𝐍 𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐀𝐈𝐑 𝐂𝐎𝐎𝐋𝐄𝐃 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐍𝐒𝐄𝐑 𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄 𝐔𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑 𝐇𝐈𝐆𝐇 𝐖𝐈𝐍𝐃𝐒 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐈𝐓𝐒 𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐀𝐂𝐓 𝐎𝐍 𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐀𝐌 𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐁𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐏𝐎𝐖𝐄𝐑 𝐎𝐔𝐓𝐏𝐔𝐓" (GT2024-121702), authored by Cosimo Bianchini, Riccardo Da Soghe, Lorenzo Giannini (Ergon Research), Andrew Gardner and Jamie Wilde (Galebreaker). This research was conducted within the experiment 1104 High-Performance air-cooled condenser in any WIND condition (HPacC-WIND) of the FF4EuroHPC initiative in partnership with CINECA to provide access to its HPC infrastructure.
