Generalized Maxwell Solid subject to a surface traction load.
The applied surface traction load was 5.171 Pa (7.5 x [10.sup.-4]psi) for both the Case 2 Maxwell fluid and Case 3 Maxwell solid analysis.
The case of application of the surface traction load is shown in Fig.
Example problems
Power grids that feed railway systems and rail traction loads benefit enormously from flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) technologies like static var compensators (SVC) and the more recent SVC Light, also known as STATCOM - static synchronous compensator.
In this application, the passenger stations are powered on LV by auxiliary substations and the traction loads are powered by rectifier substation converting the 3-phase MV to DC with the help of MV SWG, rectifier-groups, and LV DC SWG with High Speed circuit breakers.
Powering rail
The axle nosecone bearing, the largest of the machined parts, positions the rear axle of the truck and carries traction loads. This bearing has an outside diameter of about 25 inches and is about 8 inches wide.
