eng Theory of Vehicles - Study Material Content of this study material is divided into several chapters which are focused on the basic aspects of the motion of the rail vehicles on the track. Therefore, the attention is paid to the relationship of the wheelset and the track, run of the vehicle in a straight track and running through a curve and suspension of the rail vehicle. Knowledge of these problems makes sense above all at study of rail vehicle dynamics and is practically applicable at development of new rail vehicles, at design of modernization of older vehicles as well as in operation, for example at the assessment of reasons of wear, or in the branch of rail vehicle testing. characteristics of wheel/rail contact geometry; equivalent conicity; vehicle running performance; stability; guiding of a vehicle in curve; Heumann's method; safety against derailment; twisted track; suspension of vehicles
