A novel ballast roughness index for characterizing the surface undulation anisotropy and its application in directional friction of replicated ballast surfaces
The friction coefficient of ballast particles is a critical parameter influencing the dynamic stability of ballasted beds. Currently, friction tests are commonly used to study ballast friction behavior. However, the anisotropy of surface roughness causes significant directional variations in friction coefficients. Conventional roughness indices fail to adequately capture these features, hindering quantitative correlations between friction coefficients and surface morphology. To address this issue, this study analyzed the statistical characteristics of surface roughness anisotropy from 584 real ballast particles. Based on the findings, a comprehensive roughness index was proposed, incorporating surface undulation amplitude, inclination and its anisotropy. The validity of the proposed index was confirmed through a comparison with conventional roughness indices. Then, the new roughness index was applied to ballast friction tests conducted along orthogonal directions. A linear correlation was identified between the index and the friction coefficients in the corresponding directions. In addition, the directional difference in friction was found to decrease with increasing normal load, indicating a reduced influence of roughness under higher stress conditions.
期刊介绍:
Powder Technology is an International Journal on the Science and Technology of Wet and Dry Particulate Systems. Powder Technology publishes papers on all aspects of the formation of particles and their characterisation and on the study of systems containing particulate solids. No limitation is imposed on the size of the particles, which may range from nanometre scale, as in pigments or aerosols, to that of mined or quarried materials. The following list of topics is not intended to be comprehensive, but rather to indicate typical subjects which fall within the scope of the journal's interests:
Formation and synthesis of particles by precipitation and other methods.
Modification of particles by agglomeration, coating, comminution and attrition.
Characterisation of the size, shape, surface area, pore structure and strength of particles and agglomerates (including the origins and effects of inter particle forces).
Packing, failure, flow and permeability of assemblies of particles.
Particle-particle interactions and suspension rheology.
Handling and processing operations such as slurry flow, fluidization, pneumatic conveying.
Interactions between particles and their environment, including delivery of particulate products to the body.
Applications of particle technology in production of pharmaceuticals, chemicals, foods, pigments, structural, and functional materials and in environmental and energy related matters.
For materials-oriented contributions we are looking for articles revealing the effect of particle/powder characteristics (size, morphology and composition, in that order) on material performance or functionality and, ideally, comparison to any industrial standard.
