THE AACHEN TESTING BENCH FOR RUNNING QUALITIES: DEVELOPMENT AND FIRST TEST RESULTS

DER AACHENER ROLLPRUEFSTAND: ENTWICKLUNG UND ERSTE ERGEBNISSE

The chassis dynamometer at the Institute for mechanical handling and rail vehicles of Aachen Technical University is briefly described. Zigzag motion of rail vehicles may involve characteristic number problem or is excited by interference pulses due to the track. Unstable running of a Minden-Deutz bogie on the testing bench for running qualities was excited at a speed above 200 km/h. The development and the rapid decay--although at a considerably lower speed--are shown as a function of the lateral wheelset motions vs. the speed.
