HIGH SPEED ROLLING STOCK. I. AERODYNAMIC PROBLEMS

Articles discusses unique problems of high speed trains. Aerodynamic problems such as testing of sealed-nonsealed train units, means to measure aerodynamic drag are discussed. Structural analyses of side frames, load tests, strength of bodies and components are also included. Testing of power transmission, effects of wheel flat, bearings and life guard are further investigated.
