Stability and Eigenvalue Analysis of an Indian Railway General Sleeper Coach using Lagrangian Dynamics
Main Article Content
Abstract
This research paper determines the eigenvalues of main rigid bodies i.e. car body, bolsters, bogie frames and wheel axles of a 37 DoF coupled vertical-lateral model of a General Sleeper ICF coach of Indian Railway formulated using Lagrangian dynamics. The primary and secondary hunting speeds of the railway vehicle are determined to investigate the dynamic stability. Critical parameters which influence the railway vehicle dynamic stability are analysed.
