cone angle of an idealized coned wheelset that matches the rolling radius difference of real wheel and rail profiles, governing kinematic stability.

In railway engineering, equivalent conicity refers to cone angle of an idealized coned wheelset that matches the rolling radius difference of real wheel and rail profiles, governing kinematic stability. This meaning comes from Wickens (1965) in International Journal of Solids and Structures.[1]
