The Finite Element Analysis of New Forged Coupler Knuckle

Abstract:

As one of the most important load-bearing parts, coupler knuckle has a direct relationship with the safety in operation and reliability of the freight trains. A new forged coupler knuckle is made in order to meet the challenge to export ore train to Australia. Using the finite element technique, the stress characteristics of forged coupler knuckle under 1225kN load in tension and 1500kN compression load are evaluated. Simplify the load and boundary condition depend on the real working situation, the numerical simulation results coincide with experimental data.
