An Analysis of Steady State Curving Performance of the Rail Vehicle with Three Bogies

摘要

This paper deals with an analytical method of steady state curving performance of a railway vehicle with three bogies like a driving car. In this case, construction of basic equations (equilibrium equation of force and moment) is difficult because of many contact patterns between the wheel flange and rail. Then in this paper, the method that generates the equilibrium equations for various contact patterns systematically is proposed based on the non contact basic equation. The analytical results are compared with the measured values and the validity of the presented method could be confirmed.
