THE TRANSVERSAL STABILITY WHEN IN MOTION OF RAILWAY VEHICLES ON THE STRAIGHT

The theory of car rocking was investigated by means of an analog computer. Wheel-rail dynamics are first established for an isolated axle with differential equations. The theory is then expanded to a two axle locomotive bogie with the axles having transversal play, and an ordinary bogie vehicle with sliding surface between the body and the bogies. Yet to be established is the relationship of actual performance with the theoretical predictions.
