Railway dynamics simulations
Railway Dynamics and Wheel-Rail Contact. Simulations and Testing for Running Dynamics Behaviour Assessment

The continuous horizontal and vertical movement of the wheel on the rail generates displacements, velocities, accelerations and forces at wheel-rail contact level and in the connection between the vehicle parts. The Railway Dynamics scope is to define and validate the vehicle design solutions, with particular attention on suspension components, wheel-rail contact geometry, track-vehicle interaction and the optimization of the different subsystems impacting or impacted by the dynamic behaviour. The objective is to keep the displacements, accelerations and forces within the limits requested by standards or by the customer, in order to assure the requested dynamic performances...
