Knowledge of different forces which were developed on loco and load during train working and train handling is called train dynamics.
Importance-
Tractive effort - The rotating force developed on wheel of loco motive which tends to pull the load. Tractive effort is different for different locomotives. Adhesion - That grip which the wheels have on the rail dependent upon weight, track condition and weather conditions.
Importance-
- It reduce train parting cases
- It reduce train stalling cases
- It reduce wear tear of mechanical parts
- Fuel oil saving
