LATERAL DYNAMICS OF A RAILWAY VEHICLE

A 17-degrees-of-freedom model is used for investigating the lateral stability of a four-axle railway vehicle. Influence of various design parameters on primary and secondary hunting is studied. The study provides useful information to the practicing engineers engaged in the suspension design of railway vehicles.
