A Note on the Load Transference on Multi-Wheel Bogie Undercarriages

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  28 July 2016

Extract

In multi-wheel undercarriages the application of the brakes not only affects the total load on the undercarriage, due to transference of some load to the nose wheel, but there is also a local transference between the wheels of the bogie itself. This note calculates these loads and gives two methods of preventing excessive overload of the tyres.
