Title Self-Excited Yawing Vibrations of Railway Cars
Author(s) V.Ph. Zhuravlev (Ishlinsky Institute for Problems in Mechanics, Russian Academy of Sciences, pr-t Vernadskogo 101, str. 1, Moscow, 119526 Russia, zhurav@ipmnet.ru)
Abstract The site [1] presents a video recording of the motion of empty freight railway cars. The video demonstrates that some railway cars experience angular self-excited vibrations in the horizontal plane (i.e., yawing). In the same reference, the main causes of such a "negative dynamics" of railway cars are listed. All causes are related to some defects in railway car manufacturing.

We show that such self-excited vibrations are possible even in the case of absolutely ideal railway car without any defects at all. It is shown that, for a certain combination of parameters, the rectilinear (unperturbed) motion of a railway car may experience flutter instability. This type of self-excited vibrations of railway cars has not been studied earlier [2, 3].
