Abstract
The dynamic analysis of Railway Bogies is an important field of research in the design of Railcar to improve the ride comfort of the passengers. The Bogie used in this research is Fabric Italina de Automobil Torino, Switzerland (FIAT) Bogie used by Indian Railways. The paper aims at dynamic analysis of the FIAT Bogie under step input condition which simulates the repeated disturbances caused by wheel wear due to fretting. The quarter suspension of the Bogie is modeled as a spring, mass, and damper system with 3 degrees of freedom. The equations of motion are derived for the model, and it is built accordingly in MATLAB Simulink. The parameters and specifications of the FIAT Bogie obtained from the Indian Railway Manual are assigned to the spring, mass and damper system, and it is simulated for a step input. The displacement, velocity, and acceleration of the coach, Bogie frame, and wheel-sets are obtained in time domain. The results show that majority of the vibrations occur in the wheel-sets and the Bogie frame. The suggestion for redesigning of wheel-sets and suspension system is suggested. Suspension system can be redesigned for better ride comfort by the use of hydraulic actuator controlled by PID controller.
