Abstract
Lucchini started the development of low noise Syope wheels around mid nineties and the product is now spread on different rolling stock typologies. This paper reports about the noise levels obtained with some recently entered in service rolling stock for high speed and regional trains, focussing on the application of a derived concept that originated the Syope Braw® wheel. At the last International Wheelset Congress in Prague the story of the Syope (damped wheel) developed by Lucchini Sidermeccanica was described and their use rapidly grew also thanks to the positive considerations on Life Cycle Cost published there. At that time there were still some open applications and projects that this paper will report on: - feedback from Circumvesuviana railway in Naples about the application of Syope wheels on the narrow-gauge EMU manufactured by Firema; - feedback from Italian Railways (Trenitalia) about the application of Syope on high speed (250 km/h) ETR600 Pendolino trainset manufactured by Alstom Ferroviaria; - feedback from SAD (Ferrovia della Val Venosta, Italy) about the application of the Syope Braw disc-braked damped wheel on the regional GTW2/6 DMU manufactured by Stadler.I documenti in FLORE sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
