MEASUREMENT OF MOMENT INERTIA OF FREIGHT CARS

The physical properties of freight cars of various kinds were measured. This paper provides the way to find the position of the center of gravity and the moment of inertia of car body. The experimental formulas are offered for the convenience of freight car design. The measured freight cars were the two-axle cars of tank cars and coal cars, and an open wagon bogie car.
