Special Aspects of Determining the Dynamic Load of the Tank Container During Its Transportation in an Integrated Train Set by a Railway Ferry

Abstract

The work presents the special aspects of modeling of dynamic loading of a tank container during its transportation in an integrated train set by a railway ferry. Determination of dynamic loading was carried out by mathematical modeling as well as computer modeling in the Cosmos Works software. Checking of the adequacy of developed models has been carried out by Fisher’s ratio test. It was found that accelerations of a tank container during its transportation by a railway ferry exceed accelerations of it during operating on main trucks. The research will contribute to improving safety of operation and working efficiency of the intermodal transport.
