Suspension Design for High-Performance Two-Axle Freight Vehicles

A. H. Wickens, Alasdair Gilchrist, A. E. W. Hobbs

Abstract

The paper outlines the principal suspension performance criteria which need to be satisfied when two-axle vehicles are operated at high speed. The derivation of a set of suspension parameters to meet these criteria is discussed. Suspension designs which realize these parameters are described. A test vehicle fitted with this design of suspension has been built and the results of track tests are given.
