Determination of the dynamic characteristics of freight wagons with various bogie

TLDR
In this article, the main dynamic indicators include the vertical Kvd and horizontal Khd dynamic coefficients as well as the stability coefficient Ks, which determines the wheel flange resistance to derailment.
Abstract
In most cases, dynamic characteristics determine the wagon maintenance cycle, traffic safety, reliability and durability performance. The main dynamic indicators include the vertical Kvd and horizontal Khd dynamic coefficients as well as the stability coefficient Ks, which determines the wheel flange resistance to derailment. The article compares dynamic indications for three different types of bogies. There were no tangible differences observed for all the three different types of bogies running at a speed of 40 to 120 km/h on a direct tangent rail section. Nevertheless, there is a realistic potential to improve the dynamic indicators of a freight wagon by rationalising suspension unit parameters.

Safety Criteria for Evaluation of Railway Vehicle Derailment.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed to use the time duration of Y/Q in order to assess the safety of railway vehicles against derailment and the necessity to control the right to left static wheel load unbalance ratio and its limit value on assembling bogies.

Modelling the interaction between railway wheel and rail

TL;DR: In this paper, a mathematical model for assessing the real operating conditions of railway rolling stock, taking into account the situations when the wheel loses contact with rail, is presented, and the obtained amplitudinal fluctuation characteristics depend on the set roughness function and the running speed of the wheel.
