Complex Bogie Modeling Incorporating Advanced Friction Wedge Components
… a bolster, two spring nests, and four friction wedges. The two sideframes sit on the axels. The bolster rides on springs on top of the sideframes. The friction wedges also ride on springs on top of the sideframe, and are positioned between the bolster and sideframe, acting as a damping …

A Multibody Dynamics Approach to the Modeling of Friction Wedge Elements for Frieght Train Suspensions
… element in a freight train suspension, the friction wedge, with the bolster and the side frame. The objective of the proposed approach is to produce a stand-alone model that can better characterize the interaction between the bolster, the friction wedge, and the side frame subsystems. The …

Advanced Multibody Dynamics Modeling of the Freight Train Truck System
… focused on better capturing the dynamics of the friction wedge, modeled as a 3D rigid body. The current study extends that work to a half-truck model treated as an application of multibody dynamics with unilateral contact to model the friction wedge interactions with the bolster and the …
