Parametric Analysis of the Ride Comfort of Indian Railway Vehicle
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper focuses to the parametric analysis of Indian Railway Rajdhani (LHB) coach. A suitable mathematical model of 40 degrees of freedom (DOF) is formulated by Lagrangian method. The mathematical model of rail-vehicle is modelled by considering eleven mass system containing of backseat support (without cushion), a seat, a car body, two (front and Rear) bolsters, two (front and Rear) bogie frame and four wheelaxles (front bogie front and rear wheel axles and rear bogie front and rear wheel axles. The vehicle is simulated to travel at speed of 100 km/hr on a tangent track. The results from the simulation are validated by comparing the same with the results from experimental data which is acquired from research designs and standards organization (RDSO), Lucknow (India). The parametric analysis is performed to estimate the effect of different parameters of rail-vehicle on the ride behaviour.
