      <title>FREIGHTCAR VIBRATION TEST AND ANALYSIS COMPARISON -- VALIDATION OF FRATE</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/83948</link>
      <description><![CDATA[A nonlinear computer program for Freight Car Response Analysis and Test Evaluation (FRATE) has been developed under the sponsorship of the Federal Railroad Administration.  The computer program incorporates a model of a Trailer on Flat Car (TOFC) configuration.  Validation of the FRATE/TOFC program is being accomplished through comparison of analysis results to the results of vibration tests performed on a TOFC configuration at the Rail Dynamics in Pueblo, Colo. Lab.  Validation criteria include resonant frequency, deflection shape at resonance and amplification of input motions.  This paper presents a brief review of the FRATE/TOFC computer program, a summary of TOFC vibration test results and comparisons of test and analysis results. Procedures followed to achieve acceptable agreement between test and analysis are reviewed.]]></description>
