DEFINITION OF HELICAL SPRINGS. APPLICATION IN RAILWAY ROLLING STOCK SUSPENSIONS

UNE DETERMINATION DES RESSORTS EN HELICE. APPLICATION A LA SUSPENSION DE MATERIELS FERROVIAIRES

For the study of new, high performance vehicles, more accurate knowledge was required of helical-spring behavior. In the first part, the authors describe a calculation method for studying the distribution of stresses, analytical resolution of balance and deformation equations and the corresponding computer calculation programme. The second part deals with the problems posed by the materials since improvements could be made by presetting and protection methods. The third part concerns the definition of suspension springs for SNCF Y32 bogies.
