REFERRING TO FIG.
a = Distance between centres of the spring A&B bearing on the wheel set PA = Load reaction in spring A PB = Load reaction in spring B G = Dynamic gauge R1 = rail reaction under wheel 1 R2 = rail reaction under wheel-2 e = amount of overhang of spring centre beyond the wheel rail contact point.
Contd..
Let the rail under wheel-2 be depressed suddenly by an extent Zo, so that the instantaneous value of R2 becomes zero, i.e. the wheel load of wheel-2 drops to zero.
Contd..
Under effect of lowering of rail, spring B would elongate and load reaction PB would drop Taking moments about spring B PA a+ m (G/2+e) = R1 (G +e) + R2e = R1 (G+e) (since R2 = 0) (i) Taking moments about spring A PB a+ m (G/2+e) = R1e + R2 (G+e) = R1e (since R2 = 0) (ii)
Contd..
Subtracting (i) from (ii) (PA-PB) a = R1G or PA PB = R1 G/a Now, R1 + R2 = T/2 @ R1 = T/2, since R2 = 0 @PA PB = T/2 *G/a
Contd..
Difference in deflections of the springs A & B (owing to difference in the load reactions viz PA PB = f (PA PB), where f is specific deflection (assuming f to be the same for all the springs) That is, the difference in deflections of the two springs. = f *T/2* G/a
By geometry, the above difference implies a difference in the levels of the two rails under the wheel set under consideration, to be
T G T G G ! f a ! f 2 a 2 a
Obviously, this is the extent by which the rail under wheel 2 would required to be depressed to reduce R2 instantaneously to zero. 2 i.e.

PRIMARY HUNTING
WHEN THE BODY OSCILLATIONS ARE HIGH WHILE THE BOGIE IS RELATIVELY STABLE EXPERIENCED AT LOW SPEEDS MAINLY AFFECTS RIDING COMFORT
SECONDARY HUNTING
WHEN THE BODY OSCILLATIONS ARE RELATIVELY LESS. WHILE THE BOGIE OSCILATIONS ARE HIGH EXPERINCED AT HIGH SPEEDS AFFECTS VEHICLES STABILITY
CRICITAL SPEED
THE SPEED AT THE BOUNDARY CONDTION BETWEEN THE STABLE & UNSTABLE CONDITON IS CALLED AS CRITICAL SPEED OF THE VEHICLE THE SPEED FOR WHICH THE ROLLING STOCK IS CLEARED FOR THE SERVICE IS NORMALLY ABOUT 10 TO 15% LESS THAN THEC RITICAL SPEED AT WHICH THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TESTED.
