Pitch inertias of E-train wheelsets (IM-PS-062)

Last updated on 06 December 2013 11:20
For braking and wheel-slip calculations, it is necessary to know the pitch (rotation about the y-axis) inertia of the wheelsets. A quick survey revealed a range of estimates by various people, and therefore the chance of using K.M. Whiteland's four-wire rig was taken to measure the inertias of the E-train...
