ADHESION CHARACTERISTICS OF LOCOMOTIVE AND A FEW FACTORS AFFECTING THEM

There is no difference in adhesion coefficient due to the type of rolling stock used. However, the fact that the adhesion coefficient practically available varies according to the type of locomotive, is caused by the difference in the amount of axle-load shifting due to the different constructions of truck and also by the difference in the difficulties in recovering the adhesion after slipping. The present authors analyze the effect of various constants of locomotive on the adhesion recovering phenomenon after slipping and describe a method of improving the adhesion characteristics, intending to contribute to the design of locomotive and also to the planning of locomotive utilization.
