Determination the maximum load capacity of the welded structure of the transport carriage in operation

Abstract

The article presents a calculation procedure for determining the maximum permissible load on the welded structure of the transport carriage. During the transport carriages operation inside the production hall there was no breakage of the welding joints. The use of carriages outside the hall and with an uneven surface began to create cracks and fractures in the weld joints. The values of vertical accelerations that were generated by running on uneven surfaces were determined by experimental measurement. To avoid cracks in welded joints, the maximum permissible load value of the transport carriage was subsequently determined by calculation using FEM.
