Background
Wheelset hunting is a common instability caused due to curved profile of wheels and rails. During hunting, sustained periodic oscillations of wheelset are observed, which causes excessive vibration, and derailment.
A Graphical User Interface (GUI), specific to hunting analysis will allow engineers, and researchers to efficiently perform design studies on a railway carbody.
Therefore, in this work, we have developed a GUI using MATLAB's App Designer called Railhunt.
System Architecture of Railhunt
Railhunt is designed in several stages which allows the users to systematically understand the hunting analysis
There are mainly three stages, Pre Processor (input and visualize the railway carbody system), Processor (For selecting the parameter, whose effect on hunting stability are to be studied) and Post Processor (Display the simulation results).
