Coupler force and fatigue assessments with stochasticdraft gear frictions

Train dynamics and component fatigue assessments are important steps towards successful operations of long heavy haul trains. Longitudinal train dynamics (LTD) simulation is an effective and efficient approach in this regard. Draft gear friction has been known to have a strong stochastic feature. Ho...
