| rail vehicle dynamics: Dynamics of Railway Vehicle Systems Vijay Garg, 2012-12-02 Dynamics of Railway Vehicle Systems offers a comprehensive and analytical treatment of the rail-wheel interaction problem and its effect on vehicle dynamics. The development of mathematical models and their applications to dynamic analyses and the design of railway vehicles are discussed. This book consists of 11 chapters and opens with an overview of the background material required to study the dynamics of railway vehicles, with emphasis on analytical techniques used to determine the dynamic response of single- and multiple-degree-of-freedom systems. Numerical solutions of linear and nonlinear dynamic systems are also given, and various problems associated with the dynamic behavior of railway vehicles are addressed. Several mathematical models are proposed to study these problems. The following chapters focus on the wheel-rail rolling contact theories being applied in railway vehicle dynamics problems; modeling of the vehicle and its components on both tangent and curved railroad tracks; and the interaction between railway vehicles and bridges. The final chapter underscores the needs for validating mathematical models that are used to study the dynamic behavior of railway vehicles and train consists. This monograph will be of value to design and research engineers, transportation officials, mathematicians, analysts, and research workers interested in the dynamics of railway vehicle systems. |
| rail vehicle dynamics: Vehicle Dynamics Rao V. Dukkipati, 2000 Growing worldwide populations increasingly require faster, safer, and more efficient transportation systems. These needs have led to a renewed interest in high-speed guided ground transportation technology, inspired considerable research, and instigated the development of better analytical and experimental tools. A very significant body of knowledge currently exists, but has primarily remained scattered throughout the literature. Vehicle Dynamics consolidates information from a wide spectrum of sources in the area of guided ground transportation. Each chapter provides a concise, thorough statement of the fundamental theory, followed by illustrative worked examples and exercises. The author also includes a variety of unsolved problems designed to amplify and extend the theory and provide problem-solving experience. The subject of guided ground transportation is vast, but this book brings together the core topics, providing in-depth treatments of topics ranging from system classification, analysis, and response to lading dynamics and rail, air cushion, and maglev systems. In doing so, Vehicle Dynamics offers a singular opportunity for readers to build the solid background needed for solving practical vehicle dynamics problems or pursuing more advanced or specialized studies. |

| rail vehicle dynamics: Railroad Vehicle Dynamics Ahmed A. Shabana, Khaled E. Zaazaa, Hiroyuki Sugiyama, 2007-07-23 Computational multibody system approaches have been extensively used in modeling many physical systems. Railroad Vehicle Dynamics: A Computational Approach presents computational multibody system formulations that can be used to develop computer models for complex railroad vehicle systems. Focusing on nonlinear formulations, this book explains the limitations of linearized formulations that are frequently used in analysis. Vehicle/rail interaction, a distinguishing feature of railroad vehicle systems, requires a special force or kinematic element to be included in multibody system algorithms. Using this approach, the authors address and solve geometric problems that are specific to railroad vehicle systems. |

| rail vehicle dynamics: Vehicle-bridge Interaction Dynamics Yeong-Bin Yang, J. D. Yau, Zhongda Yao, Y. S. Wu, 2004 The commercial operation of the bullet train in 1964 in Japan marked the beginning of a new era for high-speed railways. Because of the huge amount of kinetic energy carried at high speeds, a train may interact significantly with the bridge and even resonate with it under certain circumstances. Equally important is the riding comfort of the train cars, which relates closely to the maneuverability of the train during its passage over the bridge at high speeds.This book is unique in that it is devoted entirely to the interaction between the supporting bridges and moving trains, the so-called vehicle-bridge interaction (VBI). Finite element procedures have been developed to treat interaction problems of various complexities, while the analytical solutions established for some typical problems are helpful for identifying the key parameters involved. Besides, some field tests were conducted to verify the theories established.This book provides an up-to-date coverage of research conducted on various aspects of the VBI problems. Using the series of VBI elements derived, the authors study a number of frontier problems, including the impact response of bridges with elastic bearings, the dynamic response of curved beam to moving centrifugal forces, the stability and derailment of trains moving over bridges shaken by earthquakes, the impact response of two trains crossing on a bridge, the steady-state response of trains moving over elevated bridges, and so on. |

| rail vehicle dynamics: Railway Management and Engineering V Profillidis, 2017-11-30 In a rapidly changing world, with increasing competition in all sectors of transportation, railways are in a period of restructuring their management and technology. New methods of organization are introduced, commercial and tariff policies change radically, a more entrepreneurial spirit is required. At the same time, new high-speed tracks are being constructed and old tracks are renewed, high-comfort rolling stock vehicles are being introduced, logistics and combined transport are being developed. Awareness of environmental issues and search for greater safety give to the railways a new role within the transportation system. Meanwhile, methods of analysis have significantly evolved, principally due to computer applications and new ways of thinking and approaching old problems. Therefore it becomes necessary to come up with a new scientific approach to tackle management and engineering aspects of railways, to understand in-depth the origins and inter-relationships of the various situations and phenomena and to suggest the appropriate methods and solutions to solve the various emerging problems. This book aims to cover the need for a new scientific approach for railways. It is written for railway managers, economists and engineers, consulting economists and engineers, students of schools of engineering, transportation and management. The book is divided into three distinct parts: Part A deals with the management of railways, Part B deals with the track and, Part C deals with rolling stock and environmental topics. Each chapter of the book contains the necessary theoretical analysis of the phenomena studied, the recommended solutions, applications, charts and design of the specific railway component. In this way, both the requirement for a theoretical analysis is met, and the need of the railway manager and engineer for tables, nomographs, regulations, etc. is satisfied. Railways in Europe have separated activities of infrastructure from those of operation. In other parts of the world, however, railways remain unified. The book addresses both situation. Railways present great differences in their technologies. Something may be valid for one such technology, but not for another. To overcome this problem, regulations of the International Union of Railways (UIC) as well as European Standardization (CEN) have been used to the greatest extent possible. Whenever a specific technology or method is presented, the limits of its application are clearly emphasized. |
| rail vehicle dynamics: Dynamics of Vehicles on Roads and Tracks Vol 2 Maksym Spiryagin, Timothy Gordon, Colin Cole, Tim McSweeney, 2017-12-06 The International Symposium on Dynamics of Vehicles on Roads and Tracks is the leading international gathering of scientists and engineers from academia and industry in the field of ground vehicle dynamics to present and exchange their latest innovations and breakthroughs. Established in Vienna in 1977, the International Association of Vehicle System Dynamics (IAVSD) has since held its biennial symposia throughout Europe and in the USA, Canada, Japan, South Africa and China. The main objectives of IAVSD are to promote the development of the science of vehicle dynamics and to encourage engineering applications of this field of science, to inform scientists and engineers on the current state-of-the-art in the field of vehicle dynamics and to broaden contacts among persons and organisations of the various countries engaged in scientific research and development in the field of vehicle dynamics and related areas. IAVSD 2017, the 25th Symposium of the International Association of Vehicle System Dynamics was hosted by the Centre for Railway Engineering at Central Queensland University, Rockhampton, Australia in August 2017. The symposium focused on the following topics related to road and rail vehicles and trains: dynamics and stability; vibration and comfort; suspension; steering; traction and braking; active safety systems; advanced driver assistance systems; autonomous road and rail vehicles; adhesion and friction; wheel-rail contact; tyre-road interaction; aerodynamics and crosswind; pantograph-catenary dynamics; modelling and simulation; driver-vehicle interaction; field and laboratory testing; vehicle control and mechatronics; performance and optimization; instrumentation and condition monitoring; and environmental considerations. Providing a comprehensive review of the latest innovative developments and practical applications in road and rail vehicle dynamics, the 213 papers now published in these proceedings will contribute greatly to a better understanding of related problems and will serve as a reference for researchers and engineers active in this specialised field. Volume 2 contains 135 papers under the subject heading Rail. |

| rail vehicle dynamics: Advanced Railway Vehicle Dynamics Guandong Lu, 2017-06-21 This book focuses on the establishment of system dynamics equations and the solutions of a variety of typical problems, each chapter is accompanied by informative examples, detailing the steps and methods of solving the dynamics problems. Chapter 1 introduces the system modelling method. A matrix transformation method is introduced. It is a standardized method and suitable for computer modelling. The creep and gravitational forces induced by the relative movement between the rail and wheel are unique to the railway vehicles, clear interpretations are given graphically. A set of complete expressions of creep and creep force are derived. Three theories of creepage and creep force are introduced. In Chapter 2, four representative static cases (Weight transfer analysis, Adjust wheel loads by spring shimming, Wheel off-loading on twisted track, Linear analysis of bogie steady state curving behaviour) are discussed in detail, their system equations are formed exactly the same way, but the formations of their external force vector are completely different. Eigenvalue and vehicle stability analysis are discussed in Chapter 3. They are illustrated by the examples step by step from simple to complex. Chapter 4 introduces frequency response analysis. It starts with one degree of freedom system, derives a general form of frequency response equation, and then extends to multi-degrees of freedom system. Different forms of interference and time delay expression are introduced. Chapter 5 introduces the system transient response analysis. It gives a detailed introduction to the principles, methods, and calculation steps of the numerical analysis method. Wheel-rail vertical impact analysis deals with the Hertz nonlinear contact theory. Responses of wheelsets and bogies disturbed by track lateral irregularities are discussed in great detail by the application of the square root creep theory and the nonlinear creep theory. Chapter 6 discusses train longitudinal dynamics, the focus of this study is on the buffer-coupler system between vehicles. The analytical path and solving method are different from those mentioned in Chapter 5. After introducing five different buffer characteristics, four different practical cases are discussed in details, of which are the impact, braking, traction, and collision. Chapter 7 discusses the modelling of hydraulic dampers. In engineering practice, hydraulic dampers are considered as a combined component, which consists of a shock absorber (damping) and its end rubber elements (stiffness) in series connection. This chapter is to discuss the calculation, analysis, and application of the impedance of hydraulic damper in engineering practice. Chapter 8 discusses the modelling of shear spring in dynamics analysis. Spring elements that are subjected to a vertical (axial) load, have horizontal degrees of freedom of movement providing lateral suspension function, also known as Shear Springs, which include cylindrical coil springs and air springs. In this chapter, the relationship between lateral forces and displacements of the shear springs are derived; a general lateral mechanical model of the shear spring is proposed. Chapter 9 discusses the modelling of structure flexible vibration. Vehicle vibration caused by track irregularities is transmitted through primary and secondary suspension elements to stimulate the structure vibration of the vehicle. In this chapter, the first-order bending vibration of the vehicle body is taken as an example to discuss the determination of the modal parameters of the single-degree-of-freedom equivalent system, the interaction between the structural vibration and the vehicle suspension elements, and the method of establishing the dynamics equation of the system including structural vibration. This book is suitable for graduate and post-graduate students in universities, researchers in Institutes, software developers and professional designers and dynamics engineers. |
| rail vehicle dynamics: Mechanics of Ballasted Rail Tracks Buddhima Indraratna, Wadud Salim, 2005-08-11 In this book, the authors discuss testing of ballast, including the strength, deformation and degradation aspects of fresh and recycled ballast under monotonic and cyclic loading. The effectiveness of geosynthetics in stabilising recycled ballast has also been examined. A new stress-strain constitutive model for ballast incorporating particle breakage is presented. Finally, a new range of particle gradations, balancing the strength and permeability requirements, has been proposed for future rail tracks. This book is intended as a reference text for final year civil engineering students and postgraduates, and for practicing railway engineers with the task of modernizing existing designs. |

| rail vehicle dynamics: Vehicle Dynamics and Control Rajesh Rajamani, 2011-12-21 Vehicle Dynamics and Control provides a comprehensive coverage of vehicle control systems and the dynamic models used in the development of these control systems. The control system applications covered in the book include cruise control, adaptive cruise control, ABS, automated lane keeping, automated highway systems, yaw stability control, engine control, passive, active and semi-active suspensions, tire-road friction coefficient estimation, rollover prevention, and hybrid electric vehicles. In developing the dynamic model for each application, an effort is made to both keep the model simple enough for control system design but at the same time rich enough to capture the essential features of the dynamics. A special effort has been made to explain the several different tire models commonly used in literature and to interpret them physically. In the second edition of the book, chapters on roll dynamics, rollover prevention and hybrid electric vehicles have been added, and the chapter on electronic stability control has been enhanced. The use of feedback control systems on automobiles is growing rapidly. This book is intended to serve as a useful resource to researchers who work on the development of such control systems, both in the automotive industry and at universities. The book can also serve as a textbook for a graduate level course on Vehicle Dynamics and Control. |
