Abstract
The Static Analysis is proposed as a method of calculating the critical wind speed of overturning of railway vehicles. In this method, the lateral acceleration of a vehicle under running is assumable by the linear function that passes through 0.98 m/s^2 at a maximum speed of the vehicle, and influences the wheel loads. In this paper, the authors studied the correlation between the lateral acceleration and the wheel load, to confirm that the assumption of the lateral acceleration is appropriate. As a result, it was apparent that their correlation was high in the frequency range 0-1 Hz.
