[ 1 ] - Rail Damage Potentials of Sloshing Cargo

In this paper a two-degree-of-freedom model representing the sprung mass and the sloshing cargo in a vehicle is proposed to study the dynamic interaction of a sloshing cargo and the carrying vehicle, to simulate the dynamic wheel forces on the rails as a result of lateral perturbations derived from turnings along the railway path and the resultant cargo sloshing. The use of the Fourth- and T...
