Examination of a Cargo Space of a Freight Wagon Modified with Composite Panels

Abstract:

This article presents the method of solving the problem considered with the too fast wearing of a steel sheet paneling of a freight wagon body. The method, described in the work, bases on the use of additional components, which are made of composite materials. The proposed solution is based on the appropriate lining of the inside of a wagon body with composite panels. In order to verify the placing and fixing of composite panels to wagon walls, as well as to verify the behavior of joined composite panels in the given conditions of a wagon work it was used a computer analysis basing on the finite element method. Because of the scale of the analyzed problem it was also created a virtual model of the research stand, which allows experimentally verifying phenomena occurring between the joined composite panels mounted on walls of a freight wagon that is made in a natural size. Carried out researches allowed determining the method of arrangement the composite panels in the inside space of a freight wagon body. It was also determined the method of panels joining and the method of their fixing to the steel paneling of a wagon body. It was also determined the procedure of transferring the results of the experimental analysis of the wagon walls, made in a natural size, on a real object using the matching of a virtual model.
