A Study on Structural Integrity of the Carbody in Railway Rolling Stocks

초록

This paper describes the structural analysis results of a carbody in railway rolling stocks during loading testing. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and integrity of the carbody structure, which is operating under maximum load. Stainless steel was used for the carbody material. The carbody of rolling stock is a prime structure supporting major components, such as underframe, roof, interior of vehicle, etc. Therefore, the strength evaluation of this structure is important. In this paper, the analysis technologies and procedures will be introduced and presented.
