PROCEEDINGS OF THE SECOND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON VEHICLE MECHANICS

This volume reports the simultaneous technical sessions that were held on four major subjects--automobile dynamics, rail-vehicle systems, off-the-road vehicle systems, and ships and hovercraft. Presented are manuscripts and abstracts of the lecture presentations. The railway engineering topics include: Basic Theory on the Torsional Strength of Freightcar Body and Container; Modern Trucks for Very High Speeds (in French); Metro on Rubber Tires (in French); Development of a Computer Model for Simulating Railroad Track Structures; Statistical Analysis of Track Defects and their effects on Vehicle Ride (in French); Vertical Dynamics of a Rail Vehicle (in French); Theoretical Study of Transverse Stability of Rail Vehicles and Initial Experimental Results.
