Fundamentals of Rail Vehicle Dynamics

Alan Wickens

4.9/5 (21734 ratings)

Description:The railway vehicle is one of the most complex dynamical systems in engineering; there are many degrees of freedom and the mutual geometry of the wheel-rail combination and the forces acting between the wheel and rail are non-linear and very complicated.;This book concentrates on the conflict between dynamic stability and guidance and how the arrangement of the suspension system, connecting the wheelsets to the car bodies, can be used to optimize steering and stability. It follows an analytical approach where possible, emphasizing basic ideas and relating the results to actual experience with various types of design.;An introductory chapter discusses the basic concepts involved in the subject, and this is followed by a comprehensive account of the formulation of the equations of motion. This includes consideration of the wheel-rail geometry and the frictional forces acting between wheel and rail. Successive chapters deal with the dynamics of the railway wheelset and the guidance and stability of the two-axle vehicle.; This is followed by chapters on more complex configurations - the bogie vehicle, three axle-vehicles, articulated vehicles and finaly vehicles which lack for-and-aft symmetry.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging. And by having access to our ebooks online or by storing it on your computer, you have convenient answers with Fundamentals of Rail Vehicle Dynamics.
