PROBLEMS OF CALCULATION OF BOGIE FRAMES FOR FREIGHT AND PASSENGER CARS

High speeds of trains, the need for greater safety and more effective utilization of materials are making railway specialists calculation-conscious. More attention is today paid to methods of calculation for rolling stock. The bogie, the vital and most dynamic element of the rolling stock is attracting close attention of designers and specialists. This article discusses the complex phenomena accompanying the design of a modern bogie. Special attention is paid to establishing the forces acting on a two-axle bogie, the vertical loads acting on a bogie side frame, and assessment of fatigue strength of bogie parts. The calculations for passenger bogies are also considered. The theoretical discussions are illustrated by practical examples and data.
