Equivalent conicity is a parameter that is used when investigating the dynamic interaction between railway vehicles and tracks. The parameter describes the behaviour of contact between wheels and rails for straight and large radius parts of the track.
The program calculates the next parameters:
- Contact point positions
- Rolling radius differences depending on the displacement of the wheel set
- Contact angles and their differences depending on the displacement of the wheel set
- Equivalent conicity
The program can use data from the railway wheel profile gauge IKP-5 and rail profile measurement gauge PRP, or other any sources. The only thing needed is the description of Real Wheels and Rails Profiles presented in tabular form.
