LOCOMOTIVE AXLE-LOADS--INFLUENCE OF NON-SUSPENDED WEIGHTS

LOKOMDTIVACHSLASTEN--DER EINFLUSS DER UNABGEFEDERTEN MASSEN

Research into the importance of the forces produced by running on rails shows that the importance of non-suspended weights and track structure, particularly the suspension constants and the rail point angle, exert an influence on the wheel dynamic force. Knowledge thus obtained will undoubtedly contribute to the design of locomotives for freight trains with heavier axle-loads, of which it would be desirable to develop the use for economic considerations.
