Determination Of The Loading On The Open Wagon Body When Rolling On The Train Ferry.

The higher efficiency of international transportation necessitates the introduction of combined transport systems. One of the most successful among these is train ferry transportation. And in order to provide safe transportation of wagons by sea, it is important to formulate the operational requirements for railway-sea transportation. And one of the loading modes for wagons is rolling on the train ferry. The article presents the results of determining the dynamic load of the open wagon body when rolling on the train ferry. The calculation was made for the open wagon placed on 18-100 bogies. A mathematical model was formed, which made it possible to determine the main dynamic indicators that characterize the movement of the wagon. The results of the calculations were used to determine the permissible inequality amplitude in the zone of interaction between the rail tracks of the bridge and the ferry deck so that the indicators of the car dynamics would be within the permissible values. The permissible value of the inequality amplitude was 0.021 m. The conducted studies will contribute to the database of developments on ensuring the operational safety of wagons used for international railway-sea transportation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
