MATHEMATICAL STRESS ANALYSIS AND TESTS OF COMPONENTS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF WHEEL SETS

RECHNERISCHE SPANNUNG-SANALYSE UND BAUTEILPRUEFUNG IN DER RADSATZENTWICKLUNG

The dynamic forces between wheel and rail increases with increasing traveling speeds. This fact requires minimization of the unsprung weight of the wheel sets. For the solution of this problem, the stresses caused by the dynamic forces and the stress-sustaining capacity of the material must be known. Stresses in highly strained areas of wheel sets are calculated and compared with experimentally determined fatigue strengths of the steels used.
