Automated calculation method effect values in load securing elements fixed on a rolling stock

Abstract

The article presents a method for the automated calculation of the magnitude of the efforts in the means of securing cargo fixed to the rolling stock in accordance with the Technical Conditions for Stowing and Securing Cargo in Wagons and Containers - a regulatory document of JSC Russian Railways (hereinafter referred to as TU). The method provides for all possible factors of the influence of the forces acting on the transported cargo as a result of its movement from the point of loading to the point of unloading, including the necessary technological operations performed along the route, using the example of a cargo with a flat base using the capabilities of the computing environment. The obtained research results are supposed to be used by shippers in the development of the optimal method for placing and securing transported goods on the rolling stock. The automated calculation method will allow obtaining the predicted value of the cargo shift value both along and across the car from the total effect of longitudinal, transverse and vertical forces acting on the cargo along the way. These values make it possible to optimally determine the place of installation of thrust bars on the car floor, depending on the geometric parameters of the transported cargo and the chosen method of fastening it to the rolling stock.
