Fatigue strength analysis of bogie frames under random loads

The Experiment Study for Fatigue Strength of Bogie Frame of Beijing Subway Vehicle Under Overload Situation

In this paper, a problem for safety of bogie frame of subway vehicle under overload situation has been discussed. Firstly, the structure of bogie frame and service condition are introduced to explain the reason caused fatigue failure. Then, the testing points are selected in terms of the structure of bogie frame, the characteristics of processing technique, load transfer path and the operation ...

DESIGN OPTIMIZATION OF RC FRAMES UNDER EARTHQUAKE LOADS

This paper deals with the optimization of reinforced concrete (RC) structures under earthquake loads by introducing a simple methodology. One of the most important problems in the design of RC structures is the existing of various design scenarios that all of them satisfy design constraints. Despite of the steel structures, a large number of design candidates due to a large number of design var...

Analysis of a Beam under Moving Loads

Abstract: It is assumed that a beam made of material has a physical nonlinear behavior. This beam is analyzed under the moving concentrated and distributed continuous loads. The vibration equations of motion are derived from the Hamilton's Principle and Euler–Lagrange Equation. In this study, the amplitude of vibration, circular frequency, bending moment, stress and deflection of the beam has b...

Modelling of Random Vehicle Fatigue Loads through Transformed Gaussian Processes

In this report we will present a simple way to model and simulate random fatigue loads, which are oftenly both non-stationary and non-Gaussian. The method is based on approximating the non-Gaussian process by a transformation of a Gaussian process. The procedure can be used to simulate loads as well as calculating important cycle properties of the load such as the rainnow cycle and wavelength-a...
