Synopsis
This monograph consolidates information in the guided ground transportation area from a wide spectrum of sources. Various aspects of vehicle system classification; analytical techniques and direct numerical integration methods for determining vibration response of linear dynamics systems; wheel-rail contact mechanics; various aspects of rail vehicle dynamics; lading dynamics; air-cushion vehicle system performance: resistance, stability and control; and magnetically levitated vehicles, which depend on the action of magnetic forces for levitation, propulsion and guidance are presented.
