Reader Reviews
Drawing on experience from around the world this book presents the start of the art in analyzing the motion of railway cars. The analysis is conducted using what might be considered worst case conditions. For instance Australian practices are used for the heavy haul lines are used to transport bulk freight with extremely high axle loads. British experience is used where historic lines running through dense population centers have a very restriced loading gauge have required highly developed techniques to allow high-speed trains to operate. The book is written by a series of contributors who are also from all around the world. Their individual chapters cover every aspect from Track, the wheel-rail contact, and modern advanced techniques such as active suspensions. The authors are professionals and this book is written at the professional level. Each chapter is further provided with a series of references to allow for further depth of study.
