APPLYING FINITE-ELEMENT AND BOUNDARY-ELEMENT METHODS TO SELECT RATIONAL DESIGN VERSION OF WELD-FABRICATED BOGIE FRAME BRACKETS OF LOCOMOTIVES AND RAILWAY CARS

Applying Finite-Element and Boundary-Element Methods to Select Rational Design Version of Weld-Fabricated Bogie Frame Brackets of Locomotives and Railway Cars

There is proposed method to select rational design version of weld-fabricated bogie frame Hoodies/Fleece brackets of locomotives and railway cars.The selection is performed in accord with the outcomes of double-phase computation-based stress analysis in the welded joints.At the first stage general stressed state of a bogie frame as a whole is exami
