A Multibody Dynamics Approach to the Modeling of Friction Wedge Elements for Frieght Train Suspensions
This thesis presents a theoretical application of multibody dynamics with unilateral contact to model the interaction of the damping element in a freight train suspension, the friction wedge, with the bolster and the side frame. The objective of the proposed approach is to produce a stand-alone mode...
