Often, multi-body dynamic simulation (MBDS) is used as a tool to examine the potential causes or likelihood of a derailment under known or expected operating conditions. From these investigations the risk of derailment (or safety factor) associated with the simulated conditions can be estimated. However, most MBDS studies focus only on the occurrence of a […]
