In this paper, the state of the art of railway vehicle dynamics is presented. Much of the
attention is paid to the performance characteristics such as lateral stability, curving …

Mathematical models are essential for the design and control of offshore systems, to
simulate the fluid–structure interactions and predict the motions and the structural loads. In …

An analysis of the mechanics and dynamics of a railroad vehicle wheelset during flange
contact and wheelclimb derailment is presented. The theoretical model includes wheelset …

Before trying to ascertain the precise nature of the Wheel-Rail contact (internal stresses and
strains, wear and friction, security against a derailment, dynamic behaviour of the vehicle …

The main ideas of Hopf bifurcation theory and its relevance to the development of periodic
motions of an autonomous system depending on a parameter are presented, and an …

The nonlinear equations of motion and velocities of creep of a simply restrained wheelset on
tangent track are derived for the case of large amplitude motion including flange contact …

The nonlinear dynamic behavior of a simply restrained railway vehicle wheelset on tangent
track is investigated. Nonlinearities due to the kinematics of wheel/rail contact (excluding …

We calculate the variation in critical speed of a flexible truck as a function of limit cycle
amplitude and truck parameters (ie, shear and bending stiffnesses, and truck geometry), by …

The characteristics of geometric contact between the wheel and rail on the turnout must be
precisely investigated to limit the speed of trains at a turnout. The characteristics of the …

1 The present state of the work being done by the author in the field of non-linear dynamic
studies of railway vehicles is described in this paper. A description is given of the method …
