Dynamics of Railway Vehicles and Rail/Wheel Contact | Hans True
| | Abstract | In this article the fundamentals of the mechanics of rail/wheel contact and deterministic vehicle dynamics is explained. Chapter 1 describes the kinema-
tics and dynamics of rail/wheel contact. Chapter 2 explains why vehicle dyna- mics must be treated as a nonlinear dynamic problem and how the model problem must be formulated. Chapters 3 and 4 deal with the theory of nonlinear parameter dependent dynamic systems in general, and chapter 5 yields the proof that the theory also applies to the high-dimensional vehicle dynamic
problems. In chapter 6 the concept of non-smooth systems is introduced and some of the most important dynamic effects on vehicle dynamic problems are described. In chapter 7 characteristic features of railway vehicle dynamics are described, and in chapter 8 recommendations are presented for the numerical handling that is necessary for the investigation of vehicle dynamic problems. The article ends with a guide to vehicle system dynamics and 47 literature references. | | Type | Book [Chapter] | | Book title | Dynamic Analysis of Vehicle Systems, Theoretical Foundations and Advanced Applications | | Editors | Werner Schiehlen | | Year | 2007 pp. 75-128 | | Publisher | SpringerWienNewYork | | Series | CISM Courses and Lectures - No. 497 | | ISBN / ISSN | ISBN 978-3-211-76665-1 | | BibTeX data | [bibtex] | | IMM Group(s) | Scientific Computing |
