Abstract: A very elaborate Finite Element (FE) model and a rigid body model of a typical electrical multiple unit trailer coach are described. These models were used to find the dynamic response to track irregularities in the frequency domain. The Power Spectral Density (PSD) of track irregularities was used as input to the system. The influence of different track irregularities on dynamic response and coupling between vertical and lateral dynamics was investigated. Extensive experiments were carried out, and analytical results were compared with the measured response.
