The equations of motion of an elastically restrained wheelset on curved track and preliminary study of steady-state motion (TN-DYN-035)

The equations of motion are established for an elastically restrained wheelset traversing curved track having variable curvature and variable cant. It la assumed that wheel slip and flange contact are avoided, guidance being provided by creep forces and conicity only, so that a linearised analysis is valid. The steady-state...
