The influence of AAR coupler features on estimation of in-train forces

Inadequate management of large in-train forces transferred through coupler systems of a railway train leads to running and structural failures of vehicles. Understanding these phenomena and their mitigation requires accurate estimation of relative motions and in-train forces between vehicle bodies....
