Mechanism of Derailment Pheomena with Railway Vehicle


Masayuki MIYAMOTO
First, this paper gives basic explanation of derailment phenomena, descrides a continuous measuring method of forces between wheel and rail, recently developed and a new derailment evaluation criteria which we now propose. Next, an outline of the simulation program is given, which is under development to make clear the mechanism of derailment phenomena in earthquake, some results obtained by this program are cited and research problems which we must treat hereafter are suggested.
