PROBLEMS CONCERNING THE INTERACTION BETWEEN VEHICLE AND TRACK

PROBLEME DES ZUSAMMENWIRKENS VON FAHRZEUG UND FAHRBAHN

A report submitted at the 14th meeting dealing with "Modern railway rolling stock", held in Graz. The German Federal Railway, Munich Technical University, Krauss-Maffei-Krupp, Rheinstahl and Mak, have founded a Company for the Study of the limits of use of the "Vehicle on rail". The report consists of a wide synthesis of the methods used, and the results obtained, in the case of the numerous works to which reference is made. The author shows the manner in which it is possible to make use of simple models, which are linear in the case of the vehicle, and reduced to periodical irregularity in the case of the track, in order to obtain data concerning the structural parameters of the vehicle and the track, and estimates of the behaviour of the vehicle based on the values of these parameters. Although these models are far from according with the reality, the estimates which they make possible are close to the results of measurements carried out during tests. It is necessary to continue this research, although it is already agreed that the limits of the system "Vehicle on Rail" are far from having been reached.
