- Additional information
- The work was collaborative with industry colleagues in the UK, US and Canada and set out a new method for predicting energy savings from improvements in suspension design for railway vehicles. The results have been used to analyse different design and operational possibilities. Partly as a result of this work the application of friction modifiers on railways has been established in railways: https://www.skf.com/in/products/lubrication-solutions/lubrication-systems/lubrication-solutions-for-specific-markets/railway/index.html
