Stiffness characteristics of railway buffers: Requirements, testing and proposal of a new computational model

In European railways, the use of UIC draw gear and side buffers to connect individual railway vehicles within a train is still established. The buffers ensure the transmission of longitudinal compressive forces between the adjacent vehicles; longitudinal tensile forces are transmitted by means of th...
