The Dynamic and Strength Analysis of an Articulated Covered Wagon with the Circular Pipe Design

An articulated covered wagon design was developed. The feature is that the body-bearing elements are made of circular pipes. This technical solution it possible to reduce tare weight while ensuring strength conditions. Mathematical simulation dynamic loading developed carried out under main operating In calculations observed quantities, an application symmetry with regard longitudinal axis used. accelerations, as components load acting on wagon, were determined. computer results also presented. analysis supporting structure conclude indexes within allowed limits. bearing analyzed for fatigue strength. weld most loaded part wagon-bearing obtained desired quantities revealed their symmetrical distribution in structure. research will contribute improving efficiency railway transport operation.
