Feasibility study of using high rate dampers in the primary yaw suspension of a Co-Co locomotive (TM-DOS-106)

A solution to alleviate the conflict between lateral stability and curving behaviour for a Co-Co locomotive by using cross-braced bogies ha3 been presented in Ref 1, where two approaches were suggested. One approach is using an elastic element, cross-bracing spring, to form the cross-bracing mechanism. If the minimum curve radius...
