Determination of dynamic loading of a tank wagon with malleable links between the pot and the frame O. Fomin, A. Lovska, V. Bohomia, I. Berestovoi Procedia Structural Integrity, 2022 The article presents the results of determining the dynamic loading of a tank wagon with malleable links between the pot and the frame. This solution will help to reduce the loading of the load-bearing structure of a tank wagon in the vertical plane. Mathematical modelling of the dynamic loading of the load-bearing structure of a tank wagon was carried out. As a prototype, the tank wagon of model 15-1443-06 was selected, with the actual dimensions of structural components recorded during field studies. It was established that the accelerations acting on the pot of the tank wagon were about 2.6 m/s2. The fields of distribution of accelerations relative to the load-bearing structure of the tank wagon were determined. The discrepancy between the results of computer and mathematical modelling was about 8%. The coefficient of fatigue strength reserve of the load-bearing structure of the tank wagon was calculated. The results of the calculation showed that the coefficient of fatigue resistance is 15% higher than permissible. The conducted research will help to reduce the loading of the load-bearing structures of tank wagons during operational modes, extend the life and safety of their operation, reduce maintenance costs, as well as create recommendations for the design of innovative structures.
