Recently, many researches about vehicle dynamics analysis under unusual condition like derailment and impact to an obstacle are increasing. In these conditions, longitudinal force applied to a car frame may exceed design load. In this paper, longi...
One of methods to evaluate running stability of railway vehicles is running test on roller rigs. In this paper, in order to investigate an influence of vehicle models on dynamic behaviors of the vehicle, we carried out the running test by a freque...
The purpose of this study is to formulate a three-dimensional motion of a wheelset considering contact geometry by applying techniques of multibody dynamics and to analyze behavior of a wheelset on the rail with vertical track irregularity. The di...
The reduction of wheels and rails wear is a very important factor in improving running safety and reducing maintenance cost. We conducted an experiment to clarify the mechanism of wear development by using 1/5 scaled rolling stock test stand which...
