Geometrical analysis of self-compensating suspension systems for railcar engineering

Last updated on 28 October 2014 2:01

The present analysis addresses several passive tilt systems for railroad cars aiming to compensate for the cart deficiency on curved tracks. To this end, the virtual centre of suspension must be located as close as possible to the longitudinal plane of symmetry of the coach, above the mass centre level...
