CAR DYNAMICS STUDY

In the calculation of car vibration, for instance, especially that of hunting motions, the electronic computer is almost indispensable. Manual computation is quite inadequate for a problem such as this, involving a large number of degrees of freedom of motion. Calculations of the hunting characteristics of electric cars for the New Tokaido Line is now under construction by using a digital computer to find out the roots of the characteristic equation of such a high order as stated above. In this way, we have played since last year a leading part in developing measures to reduce hunting motion in the design of the bogie truck.
