Abstract: For railway vehicles having coned wheels mounted on solid axles, there is a conflict between the stability of lateral deviations from the motion along the track and ability to steer round ...

Abstract: The general form of the equations of motion of multi-axle railway vehicles are used to establish the conditions which the elastic stiffness matrix (which describes the nature and configuration ...

Abstract: Recent developments in research into the lateral dynamics of railway vehicles are reviewed with particular reference to dynamic stability, dynamic response, and curving. Two engineering aspects ...
