Abstract

The aim of this research is to analyze the two varieties of British and American English in respect of their phonetic differences. Although the language of Britain and America is English, there are some pronunciation, vocabulary, spelling, grammatical, idiomatic and other differences between them. In this research, the phonetic differences between these two English varieties have been analyzed in terms of their vowels (including monophthongs and diphthongs) and consonants. The method used in this research is comparative whose data have been collected through library and internet sources. Comparative method is a linguistic method used to compare and contrast two or more languages. The obtained results, based on the comparison between British and American pronunciation, will get English language learners to the recognition, conscious knowledge and correct usage of British and American English.

4. The Effect of Profiles on Wheel and Rail Damage.

Author

Iwnicki, Simon D.

Subjects
RAILROAD car wheels, RAILROAD rails, MATERIAL fatigue
Abstract

This paper outlines the historical development of the wheel and rail profiles currently used on railway vehicles. It also presents the key damage mechanisms involved in wheel-rail contact and summarises the methods that have recently been developed by railway engineers to predict the level of wheel and rail damage from these mechanisms. Tools for predicting the key damage modes of wear and rolling contact fatigue (RCF) are explained. Methods of optimising the wheel and rail profiles to reduce the overall damage and therefore improve the efficiency of the railway system are discussed and a case study from the UK of an 'anti-RCF' wheel profile is presented. Finally a novel method using a genetic algorithm is discussed which uses a penalty index to optimise the wheel profile for good running, low track forces and rail stress, low wear and RCF.
