STANDARDISATION OF PASSENGER COACHES. PERMISSIBLE LOADING OF INTERNAL PARTS OF PASSENGER COACHES

For the dimensioning and design of internal components of passenger coaches, certain load assumptions have to be made. At the moment such guidelines are available only on a national scale. This report classifies the components and component assemblies found in passenger coaches and defines the types of loading to which they may be exposed. The extent of the loadings is also indicated. For the more important loadings, reference values are given and certain safety factors recommended.
