Abstract
First certain important properties of nonlinear problems are
discussed. Thenthe concept of chaos is described. It can only
appear in nonlinear systemsand it is very common in the real
world. Certain characteristic features ofdeterministic chaos and
in relation hereto tests for the existence of chaos indynamical
systems are presented.\ Next the relevance of chaos for
railwaydynamics is discussed and examples of chaotic oscillations
in railwaydynamical model are shown, whereby the distinction
between a chaoticattractor and transient chaos is introduces. Some
causes of chaos in railwaytechnology are discussed. Finally the
effects of chaos on field tests andnumerical simulations are
discussed.
