Abstract

Because of the growing demand for high-speed rail vehicles and the ongoing development of these vehicles, the comfort and safety of passengers have become key criterion for advancement. The critical speeds of various DOFs with respect to suspension properties like stiffness and damping are first formulated, then calculated, and then assessed based on its dynamic equations in order to understand, investigate, and improve the ride stability of rail vehicles. To develop, research, and enhance the ride stability of rail cars, this is done. The secondary lateral damping is the most sensitive sort of suspension damper, according to studies employing dynamic equations. This kind of dampening contributes to the stability and ride comfort of rail vehicles.
