Measurement of wheel-rail lateral force using shear strain of wheel web in railway vehicle (Comparison with a conventional bending based method under wheel rotating condition)
Instrumented wheelsets are widely utilized in the railway industry for the purpose of the measurement of the wheel-rail interaction force.In the conventional instrumented wheelset, the measurement accuracy of the lateral force is reduced due to the bending moment induced by the wheel load.The authors have proposed a new configuration of the instrum
