Synopsis

Excerpt from The Transition Curve, or Curve of Adjustment as Applied to the Alignment of Railroads: By the Method of Rectangular Co-Ordinates and by Deflection Angles (or Polar Co-Ordinates)

That of joining a tangent with a circular curve, by means of the transition curve, is a special case where one of the radii becomes infinitely great. Some of the recent spirals, adopted as curves of adjustment in railroad location, easily develop from the equations of the cubic parabola by making the proper substitutions in them.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the theory and practical applications of the transition curve. Developed by M. Nordling in 1884, the transition curve is a mathematical function that provides a smooth transition between circular curves of different radii or between a tangent and a circular curve. It helps eliminate abrupt changes in curvature and provides a gradual increase in centrifugal force, ensuring a more comfortable and safer ride on railroads. The author delves into the mathematical equations governing the transition curve, providing a comprehensive guide to calculating and implementing it in railroad design. This book serves as a valuable resource for railroad engineers seeking to improve the safety and efficiency of their track layouts. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780282716684_0
