    Creation of the image of the new generation freight car bogie.
    (2018) Gorbunov, M. I.; Kara, S.; Nozhenko, O.; Fomin, O.; Vaičiūnas, G.; Petrenko, V.
    Analysis of the operating problems of freight car bogies are carried out, analysis of the reasons for low dynamic qualities, which do not allow to increase the speed of movement. The main directions of the development of the bogies constructions are substantiated. The image of the new generation freight car bogie is formulated based on analysis, ideas of car building projects using the method of intellectual decision support. Concept image and patented technical solutions for implementation are solving the problem of minimizing the weight of the bogie (increasing of coefficient of mass utilization) by using a modular design, application of elastic-damping structures, prestressed state of structural elements. Technical solutions improve the strength characteristic and dynamic properties of the freight car bogies on the basis of the above principles of engineering.

    Development of the theory and methodology of controlling the local tribological contact thermomechanical loading.
    (2018) Gorbunov, M. I.; Kovtanets, M.; Kostyukevich, A.; Nozhenko, V.; Vaičiūnas, G.; Steišūnas, S.
    Theoretical and experimental studies have been carried out, which confirmed the fact that the contact temperature is the most important factor affecting the entire complex of service properties of the contacting materials. The authors of the paper propose the control of the frictional interaction of the tribological contact by controlling the temperature by forced cooling, which will stabilize the coefficient of engagement of the wheel with the rail.
