STATISTICAL EVALUATION OF DERAILMENT TESTS IN DERBY (SEPTEMBER, 1977) WITH TWO-AXLED GOODS WAGONS

The measuring results of the derailment tests by BR described in ORE Report C 138/RP 3 are evaluated using the methods of the analytical/mathematical statistics. Regarding the magnitude deduced (Y/Q)a, a relationship with the lifting of the outer wheel in the curve dz sub a and the numerical determination of a limiting value Lim (Y/Q)a is developed.
