C13/1999R/S163

Recommendation

Should substantial changes be made in the car superstucture in connection with car renewal work, the car specific frequencies should be calculated and also checked in operation, if possible. The excitations generated by the track and car running should be ensured not to cause vibration resulting in structure fatigue or excessive wear.
