Analysis of wagon impact

Abstract

During the wagon impact and during the change of the moving regime (starting, pulling out, and braking) longitudinal forces that significantly influence the tension and deformation of wagon carrying structure appear. In theoretical and experimental analysis there are various attempts to determine values and change of longitudinal forces which disappear in a short time during the wagon impact. In our thesis the certain methodology is suggested, according to which it is possible to determine the quality of values of forces on an experimental basis during the wagon impact.
