  • Fundamentals of Rail Vehicle Dynamicsby A. H Wickens

    Routledge 2003; US$ 174.95

    The railway vehicle is one of the most complex dynamical systems in engineering. This book concentrates on the conflict between dynamic stability and guidance and how the arrangement of the suspension system can be used to optimize steering and stability. more...

  • Handbook of Railway Vehicle Dynamicsby Iwnicki Simon

    CRC Press 2006; US$ 129.95

    Understanding the dynamics of railway vehicles, and indeed of the entire vehicle-track system, is critical to ensuring safe and economical operation of modern railways. As the challenges of higher speed and higher loads with very high levels of safety require ever more innovative engineering solutions, better understanding of the technical issues and use of new computer based tools is required. Encompassing the field from historical development to state-of-the-art modeling and simulation methods, Simon Iwnicki's Handbook of Railway Vehicle Dynamics sets a new standard of authority and practicality in the study of railway vehicle dynamics. Drawing on the experiences and research of leading international experts, this critical reference surveys... more...
