In this paper, we analyze the behavior of a single pad system in the presence of dry friction.
The goal is to investigate the path that leads a stable mechanical system to unstable …

In this paper, a closed-chain multibody model of a pantograph/catenary system is developed
and used for the optimal design of a nonlinear controller based on an open-loop control …

The goal of this investigation is to perform a comparative analysis of the principal
methodologies employed for the analytical formulation and the numerical solution of the …

In this paper, we present the results of an experimental investigation on squeal noise
emitted by a disc brake for railway applications. The measurement, that show in an evident …
