CAR BODY STRUCTURE STUDY

Theoretical methods of structural analysis have made a marked progress, side by side with the development of new methods of experiment in post-war years, such as use of the electrical resistance wire strain gage for measurement of strains on a car body. A method known as the "Yoshimine's Method"--a very rigorous method--is adopted in the calculation of sideframe strength. With the introduction of the Bendix G-20, the author composed the program (by its SNAP-EASY System) for finding the influence coefficients as well as the load terms which had required much calculating labor.
