Summary
The nonlinear stability behavior of a special railway bogy is investigated making use of the methods of bifurcation theory. By artificially increasing the degeneracy of the bifurcation problem we are able to treat two local bifurcation problems in one single global problem. These two local problems are, first, the calculation of the subcritical Hopf bifurcation at loss of stability of the steady state motion of the bogy and, second, the calculation of the turning point in the amplitude graph of the limit cycles.
