% M-file name: single_wheelset.m
% M-file type: Script (main) file

% This program simulates the dynamic behavior of a single wheelset rolling on a straight track.
% The wheelset is modeled using six degrees of freedom, namely, lateral and yaw wheelset
% displacements, lateral and yaw wheelset velocities, and left and right rail displacements.

% Initial conditions

% x10: Initial Lateral Displacement of wheelset (m)
% x20: Initial Yaw Displacement of wheelset (rad)
% x30: Initial Lateral Velocity of wheelset (m/sec)
% x40: Initial Yaw Velocity of wheelset (rad/sec)
% x50: Initial Lateral Displacement of left rail (m)
% x60: Initial Lateral Displacement of right rail (m)

x10=0.00635;x20=0.0010;x30=0.10;x40=0.0;x50=0.0000;x60=0.0000;

% Solving the system of differential equations

% The system of differential equations is integrated from t=0 sec to t=10 sec with the above
% initial conditions. The state space variables to be solved are specified in the function file
% 'equations.m' . The solver automatically chooses a suitable time step for integration.
