Analysing the root causes of bracket vibration and proposing a solution to avoid the resulting failures.
Analysing the root causes of bracket vibration and proposing a solution to avoid the resulting failures.
Failure of a wheel lubricator bracket due to strong vibration.
The work started with a finite element analysis (FEA) to determine the actual loads. In particular, vibrations were analysed in detail. The data obtained was used in post-processing using: fast Fourier transform (FFT) and white noise elimination. The acquired data were transferred to the FEA model and correlated with the FEA test.
The solutions used allowed the stiffness and mass topology to be optimised. Thanks to a comprehensive approach – including root cause analysis, thorough examination of the acquired data and optimisation of the topology – it was possible to deliver an error-free, robust solution. The result was an improved design used to produce an implementation-ready product, remaining in use from its initial implementation.
If you think about car… is it complicated? Chassy, wheels, engine, gearbox, stereo, air condition and you’re good to go. Well, cars are not so simple anymore. Automotive business evolved, and cars are no longer only about driving, it’s about how you spend you’re time during driving and of course – safety.

According to many experts, hydrogen trains are to become one of the cornerstones of modern railways. How do Polish companies fare in terms of the advancement of work on the application of hydrogen in the railways? Can hydrogen trains revolutionise rail transport in our country and around the world?
Read moreThe idea of sustainability and a focus on ecology determine the direction in which modern public transport is heading. The hydrogen bus is an innovative means of transport that fits perfectly into the standards that modern public transport should meet. On the streets of Polish and foreign cities, it is increasingly common to see these low-emission vehicles, which not only quickly become a functional element of public transport, but also provide a range of benefits in other areas, including contributing to improved air quality in the locality. Along with their electric counterparts, hydrogen buses are expected to become an integral part of the urban landscape within the next few years. What makes such high hopes for them?
