Dynamics and Monitoring of Railway Vehicle Systems

By Akira Matsumoto, Yohei Michitsuji, Hitoshi Tsunashima

This book provides cutting edge research into railway vehicle dynamics and the condition monitoring of railway vehicles and track.

Using real world global examples, the book focuses on safety and maintenance from a global perspective. Beginning with an explanation of the practical theory behind dynamics and running safety when passing a curve, the book enables readers to understand the motion and vibration of railway vehicles both in theory and in practice. Presenting examples of real- world phenomena, and a central chapter explaining condition monitoring and Condition- Based Maintenance (CBM), the book demonstrates the mechanisms involved in railway vehicle design and production. It also focuses on safety and riding comfort.

Including case studies, the book will be of interest to railway engineers, and those interested in design, dynamics, condition monitoring and maintenance engineering.
