Linear analysis for steady motion of flexible two-axle railway truck on curved track; it is shown that flexible truck can negotiate main line curves without slipping or flange contact; results are obtained for maximum rolling displacement of wheelsets and minimum radius of curvature for no slipping, expressed as function of suspension stiffness; it is shown that lateral loads due to superelevation deficiency have only small effect on motion of truck, which is mainly determined by creep forces arising from geometric inability of four wheels to roll freely on curved track.
