Analysis of primary and secondary lateral suspension system of railway vehicle / Mohd Hanif Harun … [et al.]

The aim of this paper is to study the effect of primary and secondary suspensions of a railway vehicle on stability and passenger ride comfort. The possible improvement of conventional suspension without using a controllable suspension system is investigated. A linear 17 degree-of-freedom (DOF) rail...
