SIMULATION OF RUNNING BEHAVIOUR OF AN INDEPENDENT-WHEEL RAILWAY VEHICLE. CHECK WITH EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS

This article describes a simulation model, which adopts the step-by-step integration method of Runge and Kutta, in order to foresee the running on straight sections and on curves of a bogie with independent wheels. The results of the simulation were checked by an on-line experimental campaign which confirmed the potentiality of the simulation model for the foreseeing of both quasi-static and dynamic phenomena. The model permitted a thorough analysis of osciallation movements occuring on curves where track irregularities exist.
