介绍了德国、法国、加拿大等欧美各国在开发机车车辆用转向架方面所采取的方法，特别指出在研制具有全新结构转向架时，应用多体动力学进行理论分析是个强有力的手段．还对典型的独立回转车轮转向架、主动转向式转向架、引导转向式转向架的结构特点、性能、试验装置、研制及应用情况等作了较详细的介绍． The methods taken by the countries in Europe and the United States such as Germany, France and Canada to develop the bogie for locomotive and rolling stock are introduced. In particular, it is pointed out that the theoretical analysis using multibody dynamics is a powerful way to develop a new bogie with a new structure. The typical independent rotary wheel bogie, active steering bogie and steering steering bogie are also introduced in detail in terms of their structure, performance, test equipment, research and application.
