In this work, theoretical studies have been carried out in order to assess the strength of structural elements of the track superstructure from the impact of a special-purpose passenger carriage. The assessment of the impact of the wagon on the railway track was carried out according to the stresses in the edges of the rail base, stresses in the main area of the subgrade and the stability of the track against lateral shear. The calculations showed that the strength and stability of the structural elements of the track superstructure as a result of the impact on it of a special-purpose passenger carriage model 61-934 meets the regulatory requirements.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
