A Nonlinear Model of Mix Coil Spring – Rubber for Vertical Suspension of Railway Vehicle

The paper focuses on a nonlinear model to represent the mechanical behaviour of a mix coil spring - rubber used in the secondary suspension of passenger rail vehicles. The principle of the model relies on overlapping of the forces corresponding to three components - the elastic component, the viscou...
