A simplified linear analysis of the steady-state motion of conventional cross-braced bogie vehicles and four-wheelers on curved track (TN-DYN-89)

The theoretical possibility of guiding vehicles round curves under the control of the creep forces acting between the wheel treads and rails, rather than under the control of flange forces, has been explored in reference (1). It has been shown that the tread forces cause the wheelsets to take up...
