What is it about?

The influence of the shock processes on railway vehicles with one-stage spring suspension is analyzed in this paper. These processes are excited in normal operation. Kinetic energy is lost as a result of the shock loads. Expressions to calculate the loss of the kinetic energy of the different links as well as of the railway vehicle as a whole are derived.

Why is it important?

The proposed article shows a way to solve different optimization tasks. This optimization allows the parameters of the railway vehicle to be chosen so that the loss of kinetic energy to be minimal and the effective work of the transport vehicle to be guaranteed in normal operation.

Perspectives

This paper can be used to solve different optimization tasks for railway vehicles with two-stage spring suspension.
