Abstract: Solution of rail vehicle dynamics models by means of numerical simulation has become more prevalent and more sophisticated in recent years. At the same time, analysts and designers are increasingly ...

Abstract: Wear of wheels and rails is a problem of substantial magnitude for railways throughout the world. Efforts to control wear by using new wheels profiled to match worn wheels have met with a ...

Abstract: Bayesian parameter estimation is a powerful and versatile method with good convergence properties. This paper describes the use of the Bayesian method to estimate the parameters of a transit ...

Abstract: Field tests and accompanying data analysis to characterize the stable and hunting behavior of freight cars are discussed. These tests confirmed the fundamentally nonlinear nature of the conventional ...
