Peculiarities of computer modeling of strength of body bearing construction of gondola car during transportation by ferry-bridge

Abstract

The article shows the results of researches of gondola car body strength taking into account its design innovation for the transportation by ferry-bridge. There developed strength model of bearing construction of gondola car body, which takes into account the forces affecting it in conditions of angular displacement towards the axis of elongation of ferry-bridge (heel). The results obtained allowed to conclude that gondola car body strength taking into account suggested measures concerning its construction improvement during shipping are provided. This allows to increase effectiveness of railway-ferry transportation of cars by ship and also to provide protection of their bearing constructions during interaction with reinforcing tools towards the deck.
