THE INFLUENCE OF ELASTICITY AND OF COUPLING ON RAIL VEHICLE STABILITY WITH REGARD TO HUNTING MOVEMENT AND NEGOTIATING CURVES

DER EINFLUSS VON ELASTIZITAETEN UND KOPPLUNGEN AUF SCHLINGERSTABILITAET UND BOGENLAUF VON SCHIENENFAHRZEUGEN

The critical speed on straight track is evaluated from the linear theory of the hunting movement, taking account of the effect of various parameters. Theoretical evaluations are established to improve stability as regards hunting, and compared with the results of tests made on vehicles. Running on curves is studied with rigidly guided axles, radially controlled axles, and self-adjusting axles, and this study is confirmed by tests. The article deals particularly with cross-braced bogies, and with wheel profiles.
