RT Journal Article SR Electronic A1 Kuľka, Jozef A1 Mantič, Martin A1 Bigoš, Peter T1 New Design Concept of Solutions for Dynamic Protection of Canal Lock JF Acta Mechanica Slovaca YR 2014 VO 18 IS 2 SP 76 OP 81 DO 10.21496/ams.2014.023 UL https://www.actamechanica.sk/artkey/ams-201402-0011.php AB Water transport is an integral part of load transport system and therefore its safe functioning is necessary. At waterways the frequent obstacles are hydro-electric power plants which are equipped with canal locks to allow the canalisation of the river. To provide safe sailing of ships through such a locks without causing any damage, the canal locks are equipped with a protective system against impact in addition to other devices even in emergencies. This paper describes a proposal of a new construction of the trolley of dynamic canal lock protection as well as a design of its drive.
