Abstract:The main aim of this study is to carry out dynamic simulations of a crash between two identical shunting locomotives running at different velocities. Numerical analyses using a Finite Element Method (FEM) include frontend impact of the running locomotive with a stationary one situated on the track. Such collision scenario is required for railway vehicles operated on national and regional networks. A considered locomotive based on a Polish shunting locomotive-SM42, however the tested locomotive was slightly mod… Show more
