"The handbook of railway vehicle dynamics, second edition, provides expanded, fully updated coverage of railway vehicle dynamics. With chapters by international experts, this work surveys the main areas of rolling stock and locomotive dynamics. Through mathematical analysis and numerous practical examples, it builds a deep understanding of the wheel-rail interface, suspension and suspension component design, simulation and testing of electrical and mechanical systems, and interaction with the surrounding infrastructure, and noise and vibration. Topics added in the second edition include magnetic levitation, rail vehicle aerodynamics, and advances in traction and braking for full trains and individual vehicles."

"Understanding critical rail vehicle design issues and associated dynamic responses is fundamental to guarantee safe and cost-effective operations of modern railways. With the increasing demands for safer rail vehicles with higher speed and higher loads implementing more innovative methods for controlling rail vehicle dynamics requires a better understanding of the factors that affect their dynamic performance. Advanced simulation techniques allow such innovations to be examined in detail and optimized before the costly process of introducing them into the operational vehicle environment on a rail network.
