Course content
1.Mechanics of a rail vehicle running on track, modelling a vehicle/track dynamical interaction in a vertical direction. Theoretical solution principles. Track loading. 2. Particular types of rail vehicle and track models. Definition of a straight track and curve. Unášivé pohyby of a rail vehicle. 3. Principles of modelling particular types of elastic and damping elements in a vehicle dynamic model. Modelling of contact vazeb wheelset/track and adhesion vazeb wheel/rail. Various attitudes to solution. 4. Means of mathematical model solution for a numerical simulation of a real rail vehicle's running. Output quantities and their statistical evaluation. Vehicle running behaviour on a straight track, guiding of vehicles on a curved track. 5. Modelling and verification of a numerical simulation of a real rail vehicle running on a real track. Means of experimental analysis of the vehicle/track dynamic interaction and processing of measurement results. 6. Solution for particular problems, force exertion on a track by vehicles, unstable vehicle running, causes of its occurence and consequences.
