Preliminary Design of Passive Tilting System for Amcoach: Volume 2. Preliminary Design for Amcoach Tilt Modification

A preliminary design of the tilting truck for AMCOACH is presented to achieve speed-up in curves without increasing lateral acceleration of carbody, to maintain good ride quality and shorten operation time. The passive tilting system is adopted on the basis of successful experiences of Japanese...

Preliminary Design of Passive Tilting System for Amcoach: Volume 1. Description of Tilting Truck Currently Used by JNR

A description of the tilting truck currently used by Japanese National Railways (JNR) is presented. JNR 381-series electric railcars with passive tilting device were manufactured to aim at speed-up in curves, and have been operated in Chuo-sai line between Nagoya and Nagano, and Kisei-line between...

Prediction of Fatigue Crack Growth in Rail Steels

Measures to prevent derailments due to fatigue failures of rails require adequate knowledge of the rate of propagation of fatigue cracks under service loading. The report presents a computational model for the prediction of crack growth in rails. The model was derived on the basis of experiments of...
