Suspension in Railway Vehicles: A Review
Main Article Content
Abstract
Suspension in railways is an important feature that greatly influences the dynamics, ride comfort, curving, stability, wear and many other important aspects of railway vehicles. Railway vehicle bodies are connected through suspension elements mainly divided into primary and secondary suspension elements. These elements are passive, semi-active and active elements. Researchers have investigated railway vehicles performance with each above-mentioned element. This paper also presents a review of these elements with merits, demerits and limitations associated with them.
