Wheel Forces During Falange Climb Part II-Nucars Simulations

摘要

The Association of Americal Railroads (AAR) has used its track Loading Vehicle (TLV) to undertake a series of controlled flange climb derailment tests. This test program was performed on a section of tangent track at the AAR, Transportation Technology Center (TTC), Pueblo, Colorado, and was the first time that controlled full-scale flange climb derailment testing had been performed in the USA.
