Abstract
This article presents a rigid bodies model of a railway wagon, with braces attached to its sideframes. The model is used to estimate the dynamic operational loads and geometric deformations of the sideframes. Yaw movements are analyzed during a curve, in the braced and unbraced conditions, showing the brace’s contribution to reduce warping deformation of the sideframes.
