DIGITAL COMPUTER SIMULATION OF RAILROAD FREIGHT CAR ROCKING

A mathematical model for the simulation of railroad freight car rocking is presented. The equations of the model are developed into a digital computer program. The model response is validated by two series of test results, and the model is considered reliable for engineering predictions.
