4.1.2: Limitations of the comparison
Title
The car body in modeling was assumed as a rigid body
Chapter 01
Braking system, and other systems were not incorporated in modeling and simulation
Chapter 02
The mass of the track was not considered to any of assigned degree of freedom
Chapter 03
In actual testing the sensor for acceleration measurements was placed at floor level of bogie pivot but in
Chapter 04
simulations the acceleration was determined at car body floor just above a bogie center
Chapter 05
The effect of wind drag forces were not considered
Acknowledge
Time gap between random inputs measurements of track and acceleration measurements of vehicle
End
The track irregularities considered were not the same in both actual and simulation
In practice, defects may occur
