Keep Up with Advancements in the Field of Rail Vehicle Design A
thorough understanding of the issues that affect dynamic
performance, as well as more inventive methods for controlling rail
vehicle dynamics, is needed to meet the demands for safer rail
vehicles with higher speed and loads. Design and Simulation of Rail
Vehicles examines the field of rail vehicle design, maintenance,
and modification, as well as performance issues related to these
types of vehicles. This text analyzes rail vehicle design issues
and dynamic responses, describes the design and features of rail
vehicles, and introduces methods that address the operational
conditions of this complex system. Progresses from Basic Concepts
and Terminology to Detailed Explanations and Techniques Focused on
both non-powered and powered rail vehicles-freight and passenger
rolling stock, locomotives, and self-powered vehicles used for
public transport-this book introduces the problems involved in
designing and modeling all types of rail vehicles. It explores the
applications of vehicle dynamics, train operations, and track
infrastructure maintenance. It introduces the fundamentals of
locomotive design, multibody dynamics, and longitudinal train
dynamics, and discusses co-simulation techniques. It also
highlights recent advances in rail vehicle design, and contains
applicable standards and acceptance tests from around the world. *
Includes multidisciplinary simulation approaches * Contains an
understanding of rail vehicle design and simulation techniques *
Establishes the connection between theory and many simulation
examples * Presents simple to advanced rail vehicle design and
simulation methodologies Design and Simulation of Rail Vehicles
serves as an introductory text for graduate or senior undergraduate
students, and as a reference for practicing engineers and
researchers investigating performance issues related to these types
of vehicles.
With the increasing demands for safer freight trains operating with
higher speed and higher loads, it is necessary to implement methods
for controlling longer, heavier trains. This requires a full
understanding of the factors that affect their dynamic performance.
Simulation techniques allow proposed innovations to be optimised
before introducing them into the operational railway environment.
Coverage is given to the various types of locomotives used with
heavy haul freight trains, along with the various possible
configurations of those trains. This book serves as an introductory
text for college students, and as a reference for engineers
practicing in heavy haul rail network design,
