Stress Load and Durability Analysis of Railway Vehicles Using Multibody Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present paper describes the CAE-based approach for durability analysis that is being implemented in Universal Mechanism software to predict the fatigue damage of parts of mechanical systems. The approach predicts fatigue strength of structural components of machines and mechanisms based on results of simulating their dynamics taking into account real working conditions. An application to the developed software to a stress load and durability analysis is considered.

Development of a Finite Element Methodology for Flexible Track Models in Railway Dynamics Applications
The dynamic analysis of railway vehicles involves the construction of three independent models: the vehicle model; the track model; and the wheel-rail contact model. In this work, a multibody formulation with Cartesian coordinates is used to describe the kinematic structure of the rigid bodies and joints that constitute the vehicle model. A methodology is also proposed in order to create detail...

متن کاملTheoretical and Numerical Approach in Determining the Thermal and Stress Loads in Train Disc Brakes
Original scientific paper This paper shows a thermal and tension analysis of a brake disc for railway vehicles. The FEM (Finite Element Method) was used to carry out the analysis. The analysis deals with one cycle of braking – braking from maximum velocity to a standstill, cooling off faze and then accelerating to maximum velocity and again braking to a standstill. This case of braking represen...
