And Quebec, Canada : Design Memorandum No. 2 : Hydrology And Hydraulic Analysis, Section Iv - Lincoln School Dam-Spillway Design Flood, Department Of The Army, New England Division, Corps Of Engineers

Dickey-Lincoln School Lakes Project

The first of four sections comprising Design Memo-randum No. 2. The other sections are: II - Dickey Dam - Spillway Design Flood, III - Lincoln School Dam - Spillway Design Flood and IV - Flood Analysis and Reservoir Regulation. la section I, hydro-logic studies will be confined generally to the drainage area of the Saint John River above the gaging station at Fort Kent, Maine. The purpose of section I is to present the climatological and streamflow data for the Saint John River above Fort Kent in order to establish hydrologic criteria for the design of the Dickey and Lincoln …


Dynamic And Stability Characteristics Of An Articulated Frame Railway Passenger Truck, David Kenneth Platner Jan 1976

Dynamic And Stability Characteristics Of An Articulated Frame Railway Passenger Truck, David Kenneth Platner

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Mass transit vehicles in formal rail service frequently attain speeds which can excited carbody oscillations (primary hunting), as well as sustained lateral oscillations of the trucks (secondary hunting). The carbody motions have been shown to generate passenger discomfort and sustained truck hunting can lead to derailment. This thesis developed approximate equations which predict the carbody hunting frequencies, as well as the hunting speed of an articulated frame truck. The linear equations of motion are derived from a simplified model of a railway vehicle. A comparison indicates the results obtained using the approximate truck hunting equation presented here are within ten …
