Development of Displacement-Dependent Rubber Bush to Reduce Carbody Vibration Induced by Mass-Imbalanced Wheelsets through Traction Links

Rotation of wheelset(s) with small mass imbalance can induce relatively large carbody vibration and worsen ride comfort. Since the excitation force due to an imbalanced wheelset is transmitted from bogie to carbody through a traction link, the authors have developed a displacement-dependent rubber bush for traction links, which has a...
