The Technique of Experimental Definition of the Loading by Granular Cargo in the Railway Car

An experimental technique for determining the dynamic loading of the car body of granular cargo is shown. The technique involves the implementation of a program of operational loadings, which are typical for this type of car; the development of a device allowing to determine the pressure of the transported granular cargo; development of mounting schemes of devices in the car and calibration; implementation of operating loading conditions of the car and determination of pressure from granular cargo to the body of the car their. The resulting diagrams of dynamic loading of granular cargo car body can be used when performing strength calculations.
