A single Vehicle moving along a 200 m curved railway at a speed of 360 kph (100 m/s). The nominal distance between the two rails is 1.82 m and they carry vertical and lateral irregularities of relatively large magnitude. The response of the Vehicle’s component parts is showing. Namely, the Car body with a mass of approx. 40 tons, the two Bogies having a mass of approx. 3 tons each and the wheelsets with a mass of 1780 kg. The animation is in rear view.
A single Vehicle moving along a 200 m railway at a speed of 360 kph (100 m/s). The distance between the two rails is fixed at 1.82 m and they carry no irregularities. The Vehicle starts moving from the static equilibrium position. There is no response in the Primary and Secondary Suspension Systems. The animation is in rear view.
The side view of a single Vehicle moving at a speed of 360 kph (100 m/s). The railway is deviating from the straight line in the vertical direction, therefore exerting forces on the wheels. The animation is showing the oscillatory motion of the moving parts seated on the two suspension systems.
The view from above a moving Vehicle of a High-Speed Train. The Train moves at a speed of 360 kph (100 m/s) and the railway deviates slightly from the straight line in the lateral direction creating a response to the Vehicle’s parts in this direction. The Car body, Bogies and Wheelsets showing.
A High-Speed Train consisting of 7 Vehicles, moving along a curved railway at a speed of 360 kph (100 m/s). The railway has length 600 m and possesses vertical and lateral deviations, the latter of smaller magnitude. The Vehicles are connected with each other with Joints and the front one is moving at a constant speed pulling the rear Vehicles in the direction of motion.
The side view of a High-Speed Train moving along a curved railway at a speed of 360 kph (100 m/s). The Vehicles are connected with Joints. The animation is showing the oscillatory motion of the Train’s component parts due to the deviations of the Track in both the lateral and vertical direction. The Axle boxes (not showing in the animation) are connected to the Wheelsets via Revolute Joints and to the Bogies via the Primary Suspension Systems.
A single Bogie moving onto a curved railway at a speed of 36 kph (10 m/s). The railway possesses irregularities of a rather large magnitude in both the vertical and lateral direction. The animation is showing the Bogie’s oscillatory response. The Wheelsets are connected to the Bogie via the Primary Suspension System. There is no Secondary Suspension System due to the absence of the Car Body. This makes the motion of Bogie more intense.
A single Bogie moving onto a curved railway at a speed of 36 kph (10 m/s). The railway possesses irregularities of a rather large magnitude in both the vertical and lateral direction. The animation is showing the Bogie’s oscillatory response. The functionality of the Primary Suspension System is showing, holding the Wheelsets and the Bogie together via the Axle boxes (not showing) which in turn are connected to the Bogie via the Primary Suspension System.
