“…Also, it has been reported that the failures to which the vehicles are exposed are mostly caused by static and dynamic loads, especially in mountainous and climatic conditions. Due to *Corresponding Author Email: ounal@karabuk.edu.tr (Dr. O. Unal) these conditions, wagons are constantly modified with new design applications, and their components are constantly improved in terms of structural capability [10][11][12][13][14][15]. Prior to the design, development, analysis, and manufacturing of the railway vehicles, the features of the railway line should be examined, and the design criteria of the vehicles should be determined accordingly [16].…”

Wagon component failures that occur during service life can be reduced by applying appropriate geometric changes and using optimization techniques. Therefore, crucial changes are being studied to improve design and performance in structures such as connecting parts, braking systems, suspension, and transmission systems. The wing holders also have a load-bearing feature in connecting the body to the chassis. The strength of the wagon, component stabilization, and weight reduction are of great importance during transportation. In this study, finite element analysis was carried out for the novel type wing holders of the tank wagon system designed via simpler and stepless with various thicknesses. The von Mises stresses and total deformations, as finite element results, for the thicknesses of 10 mm, 12 mm, and 14 mm occurred due to the standard of EN 12663-2:2010 for both longitudinal and vertical loading conditions were extracted from the software. Finally, according to the design improvements, a new wing holder model was developed, which can contribute to the reduction of production and assembly costs.

“…The analysis of literature [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] demonstrates that the issue of improvements in the strength characteristics of the bearing structures of the tank cars, by reducing the loading in operational modes, is rather urgent and requires further investigation.…”

The study deals with determination of the dynamic loading on the frame of a tank car with closed composite center sill filled with elastic-viscous filler. It has been found that the measures for improvements can decrease the dynamic loading of the frame by 3.5 % in comparison to that of the structure without a filler. The strength calculation of the frame of a tank car is also presented. It was found that the maximum equivalent stresses occurred in the contact area between the center sill and the body bolster; they amounted to about 284.7 MPa and did not exceed the allowable values. The computer modelling of the dynamic loading of the tank car frame was also conducted. The numerical values of accelerations and the distribution fields of accelerations in the frame of a tank car were determined. The results of the calculation showed that the hypothesis on the adequacy was not rejected. The natural frequencies and oscillation modes of the tank car frame were also determined.
