Wheel load weighing and experimental determination of intrinsic frequency of fluctuations of the body of passenger wagon

Abstract

A very important stage in the design of railway vehicles for the production thereof is acceptance testing which enables to examine the compliance of all technical characteristics of the design documentation for a new type of construction with the requirements of respective normative standards. After weighing the load of wheel and determination of inherent fluctuations of bending vibrations of the body of passenger wagon by dropping thereof from the stretchers, the results meeting the requirements of normative and design documentation were obtained.
