Passive Safety of High-speed Passenger Trains at Accident Collisions on 1520 Mm Gauge Railways

Year: 2017

Type: article

Abstract: Summary. The fundamental principles of the passive protection concept of high-speed passenger trains at accident collisions on 1520 mm gauge railways have been developed. The scientific methodology and mathematical models for the analysis of plastic deformation of cab frame elements and energy-absorbing devices (EAD) at an impact have been developed. The cab frame and EAD for a new-generation locomotive have been designed. The EAD prototype crash test has been carried out.
