Bogie Assemblage to Assess Fatigue from Multiaxial Loads

Abstract

This article is study of bogie frame to assess fatigue from multiaxial loads. Mechanics of bogie has spelt as frame work to carry wheels attached to coach. Shape and size of bogie has been developed form from either motor bogie of electric or diesel locomotive or electric multipurpose unit (EMU). Definition of bogie has suggestive issued developing front as from low strongly built cart to swivel railway bogie, henceforth, has schemed towards driving-wheel assembly as well aligned wheel. Standardization has defined succeed of strength evaluation of bogie frame from static load and fatigue load tests. Etiquette of fatigue test in laboratory specific issued form has subjected to enquire load magnitude and cycles to involve durability of thirty years, where annual mileage has corresponded to 2,00,000 kilometres. Factor of safety to decisive load magnitude has suggested basis in accord of vehicle type and track conditions. Compromise of evaluation has accessed fatigue life from generation of S-N curves after aggregation of fatigue design code based in-service suit-an-addendum data file of matter. Irregular principal stress has assessed from data of travel on peaks and troughs. Accessed datum has processed for stress versus number of cycles to failure (S-N) curve. Descriptive issued fame of processing has been issued though cycle counting method. Respect has been to compare, in lieu, materialistic property determination as per usual test methods. Cumulative damages addition has been spelt are final ascription to relate etiquette through each of stress ranges thereby fatigue life of bogie has been detrimental as per analogies from proper fatigue mechanism.
