About the Project

This project involves the design of a miniature locomotive with several mechanical subsystems, including drivetrain, bogie, aerodynamic, and structural design requirements.

My Contribution

I designed the suspension system for the locomotive, focusing on spring sizing, suspension layout, damper selection, and integration of the system with the locomotive bogie design. I also developed a suspension calculation simulator where input parameters can be entered through text fields and standard equations are used to automatically calculate suitable suspension values and required component lengths.
