On the Resistance of Tank Wagons to the Shock Caused by Collision

摘要

The paper presents a theoretical and experimental study on the resistance of the tank-chassis connection (seat) to the dynamical strains caused by the shock due to collision. The theoretical resistance computations using the Finite Element Method, for the compression on the buffers constituted fundamental information for the choice of the verified dangerous sections. The paper presents the collision testing conducted for this purpose with the conclusions imposed by the experimental study.
