COMMENTS ON RAILWAY DYNAMICS

GENERALIDADES SOBRE DINAMICA FERROVIARIA

The author gives information on the mathematical models used for the scientific study of riding comfort and stability problems. He begins with a few general considerations and then examines the vertical dynamics of rail vehicles to obtain the transfer function of vertical suspensions. Vehicle transversal dynamics are also examined on a straight line and on curves. The author analyses bogie transverse stability as a decisive element in determining maximum vehicle speed using the Kalker theory on wheel-rail interaction to express bogie movement in the form of equations.
