Incorrectness of the method of calculating cargo fastening on railway platforms

Abstract

Inaccuracy of the existing methodology for calculating cargo fastening. Cargo fastening by flexible and retention elements. The paper should define the “shearing” force across the car as the sum of the transverse transport inertia and wind load, taking into account the safety factor from tipping over; determine the transverse force perceived by the means of securing the load, taking into account the reaction of the retention bars of only one direction; calculate the forces in the elastic fasteners when exposed to shearing forces, taking into account the geometry of the fasteners according to existing methods. The research methods are based on the basic law of dynamics for the relative motion of a material point, where the transverse and vertical transferring inertia forces are formally assigned to external forces. The paper proves that according to the existing methodology, the force in all elastic cargo fasteners under the influence of transverse forces has the same value, regardless of the different arrangement of the geometric parameters of the fasteners in space. This is not true. The calculations of forces in the elastic fastening elements according to Appendix 8 of the existing methodology are given. Under the influence of transverse forces, the strength of the first and second pairs of elastic fasteners, both one and the other direction, are not provided by the method of Appendix 8 - the forces in the fasteners are greater than the permissible one (24.8 kN). Existing calculation methods do not ensure the strength of the cargo fastening elements.

Stability Analysis of a Vehicle–Cargo Securing System for Autonomous Trucks Based on 6-SPS-Type Parallel Mechanisms

“…Zhang et al found that the diagonal lashing method had better lateral stability when the vehicle passes through curves [7]. Turanov et al derived the formulae for the calculation of shear forces on cargo with flexible and rigid elements fixed separately according to the geometry of fasteners [8]. With the development of dynamics and numerical computation in recent decades, the finite element method (FEM) is commonly used to establish dynamic models of cargo securing systems.…”
