Abstract: A passenger car model with a full car body and four wheel-axle assemblies is used to investigate the influence of semiactive suspensions on ride performance. Mean square values are evaluated ...

Abstract: This paper presents a study of the parametrically excited behavior of passenger and freight vehicles on tangent track due to harmonic variations in conicity using linear models. The effect of ...

Abstract: The stability of an elastic wheelset coupled with torsional spring and damper is studied in this paper. With flexible elements between two wheels, the advantages of both rigid and independently ...

Abstract: The dynamic response of rail vehicles is affected by parameters such as wheel-rail geometry, track gage, and axle load. Variations in these parameters, as a rail vehicle moves down the track, ...
