Abstract
Modified railway passenger truck designs are considered to improve the compatibility between the dynamic stability and the ability of the ve hicle to steer around curves. A comparative study on the dynamic stabi lity and steady state curving behaviour of some unconventional railway truck designs is carried out using linear models. The effects of susp ension and conicity are considered to evaluate the trade-off between d ynamic stability and curving performance.
