Improving Railway Track Coverage with mmWave Bridges: A Measurement Campaign

Andreas Peter Burg, Adrian Schumacher, Ruben Merz

Bringing cellular capacity into modern trains is challenging because they act as Faraday cages. Building a radio frequency (RF) corridor along the railway tracks ensures a high signal-to-noise ratio and limits handovers. However, building such RF corridors ...

Inter-Layer Joint for the TF Coils of DEMO-Design and Test Results

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Kamil Sedlák, Boris Stepanov

In summer 2015, a new reference baseline is issued for the DEMO EUROfusion tokamak. Thereafter, the toroidal field (TF) coils have been updated with the new layout of the react-and-wind conductor proposed by the Swiss Plasma Center (SPC). Each TF coil cons ...

Management of turbidity current venting in reservoirs under different bed slopes

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Sabine Chamoun

The lifetime and efficiency of dams is endangered by the process of sedimentation. To ensure the sustainable use of reservoirs, many sediment management techniques exist, among which venting of turbidity currents. Nevertheless, a number of practical questi ...

Integrated maintenance model for heavy haul tracks

José João Pires De Oliveira Filho

Due to the accumulation of traffic, the railway components are affected by the induced stresses. As a result, the geometry of the railways is degraded over time. The degradation occurs either through the partial loss of the track's geometry or through the ...

Status of Conductor Qualification for the ITER Central Solenoid

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Boris Stepanov

The ITER central solenoid (CS) must be capable of driving inductively 30 000 15 MA plasma pulses with a burn duration of 400 s. This implies that during the lifetime of the machine, the CS, comprised of six independently powered coil modules, will have to ...

Optimisation and assessment of different railway ballast cleaning systems

David Andrew Barry

Spent railway ballast is a source of recycled aggregate. Recycling of aggregates contributes to sustainable development by reducing the volume of construction waste going to landfill, reducing transportation and reducing the impact of primary mineral extra ...

Efficiency and potential environmental impacts of different cleaning agents used on contaminated railway ballast

David Andrew Barry

Railway ballast consists of crushed aggregate and serves as foundation and drainage for railway tracks. Over time, ballast loses its geotechnical properties and cannot be reused within the rail industry but can be sold on to other users to be utilized as a ...

Electromagnetic and mechanical characterisation of ITER CS-MC conductors affected by transverse cyclic loading, part 2: Interstrand contact resistances

Pierluigi Bruzzone

A special cryogenic press has been built to study the mechanical and electrical propel-ties of full-size ITER multistrand Nb3Sn cable-in-conduit conductor samples under transverse, mechanical loading. This simulates the transverse magnetic force that occur ...
