A THEORY OF THE DERAILMENT OF WHEELSET

In this study, in order to find out an allowable limit of derailment, the author made four assumptions and analyzed the simplest case where a wheelset derails. In order to prove the theory, the author made experiments by 1/10 and 1/5 scale model wheelset. The results of either case of 1/10 or 1/5 models coincide with theoretical values, and no difference was observed on the limit value of derailment by stationary side thrust having various kinds of radii of wheels.
