Abstract
We calculate the variation in critical speed of a flexible truck as a function of limit cycle amplitude and truck parameters (i.e., shear and bending stiffnesses, and truck geometry), by means of a perturbation procedure. We find that the creep force nonlinearity is dominant, and that it can cause the nonlinear critical speed to be either lower or higher than the linear critical speed, depending on the values of the two stiffnesses.
