New measurement method of lateral force for difficult to grinding shape with a wheel plate

초록

We now evaluate the running safety of railway vehicles by railway safety regulations. Derailment coefficient, wheel unloading ratio, lateral force, and by measuring the vehicle's dynamic driving performance was confirmed. The lateral force is horizontal contact force from the point of contact between wheel and rail. In order to measure the lateral force strain gauges were attached to the wheel. At this time all the strain gauges were attached on both sides of the plate. In this paper, a strain gauge attached on one side, and a new bridge connection lateral force was measured. The experimental results obtained higher sensitivity than conventional methods. In addition, the procedure was much simpler.
