INTRODUCTION Trains are mass transport system and used to transport goods. People living in rural areas are shifting into cities for performing their daily task in the companies and offices, as the companies were switched in the inner part of the city. Because of this reason cities are overcrowding at a faster rate and high speed trains are required for people who are travelling long distance. So we need to improve the speed of the conventional trains. Due to the above reason, make safe and effective design of train by using nonlinear dynamics theory. Problem Identification The design of a high speed train is very complex due to the dynamics involved. The design of high speed trains based on the conventional linear theory is not adequate to deal with this kind of situation. The collapse of the Banana bridge in the USA is the classical example of the failure of linear theory based design. In this project work, a test for safe and effective high speed train design based on nonlinear theory will be performed. Another example, include the Jump phenomenon occurs in aircraft which can t capture by linear theory. 2.

CONCLUSION This project presents the preparatory work carried out on the design and analysis of conventional trains. To start with, the available literature on conventional trains are carried out and studied. It is found that most of the studies are based on linear theory and it is actually an approximation of the real situation. The designs made based on appropriate analysis can lead to accidents. From the result and discussion, we give recommendations to increase the speed of the train by reducing the mass of the vehicle or increase the value of the stiffness.
