STABILITY AND DERAILMENT SAFETY OF COG RAILWAYS

STAND-UND ENTGLEISUNGSSICHERHEIT BEI ZAHNRADBAHNEN

Problem is analyzed, effect of single, double, and triple rack rail being taken into consideration. Motion along straight and curved track, and effect of transversal wind pressure and centrifugal force are considered for cases of ascending and descending trips. Numerical analysis of stability is made for train consisting of cogwheel locomotive pushing two cars. Calculation method can be easily adapted for computer application.
