Summary
In recent years, extensive dynamic analysis and structural analysis has been done
while considering abnormalities, such as derailment and collisions with foreign
objects. In such situations, longitudinal force that exceeds design load may be
applied to the car body. In this paper, the longitudinal strength of a railway vehicle,
made in accordance with Japanese industrial standards (JIS), is evaluated in
consideration of plastic deformation. As a result, it was clarified that existing vehicle
structures have much larger longitudinal crippling strength than elastic strength as
defined in the standards. In addition, this paper examines the effect that dynamics
and load path have on longitudinal strength and the location of buckling.
