RESEARCH INTO THE OPTIMUM SIZES OF SUB-ASSEMBLIES IN COACH BODYWORK CONSTRUCTION

UNTERSUCHUNGEN ZUR OPTIMALEN SEKTIONSGROESSE IM REISEZUGWAGEN-ROHBAU

On the basis of current practice in rail vehicle construction and literature on efforts to achieve rational construction, a study has been carried out into the technical problem of bodywork construction by assembling a larger number of parts and sub-assemblies, taking the specific case of coach body roofs and sides as an example. Results underline the advantages of having fewer components and show the link between the number of components and the cost of production.
