Abstract This work consists of evaluating the impact of the most relevant characteristics of railway vehicles,
namely geometric, mechanical and aerodynamic properties, in their runnability in the presence of
strong winds, more precisely in the risk of derailment. Such objective is achieved by performing
several dynamic with a non-linear vehicle-structure interaction model developed by the authors
[1,2] and used in other works in this field [3,4], which allows the evaluation of the wheel-rail contact
forces and, consequently, the unloading index, as suggested by the European Norm EN 14067-6 [5].
The calculations are carried out for several scenarios characterized by different train… More >
