The authors are to be congratulated for presenting this study of the effect of nonlinear wheel/ rail contact geometry on stability of rail vehicles. Although, nonlinear characteristics of wheel/rail interaction are presently being studied by various investigators, in writers' opinion this paper is a significant published work in this area.The model presented in the paper has the motion of a wheel-set described by two parameters-lateral displacement and yaw rotation. 1
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
