In this paper the dynamic analysis to a railroad tank car is performed using the Finite Element Method (FEM). The natural frequencies of vibration and the dynamic response of the structure subject to harmonic loads were obtained. A railway vehicle during his operation is subjected to various harmonic loads caused by irregularities in the track. These harmonic loads have a working frequency that varies with the displacement speed of the train. Therefore it is important determine the natural frequencies of vibration of the structure and the dynamics response to harmonic loads to determine the security with which operates the tank car and avoid structural problems.

Abstract:

In this paper the dynamic analysis to a railroad tank car is performed using the Finite Element Method (FEM). The natural frequencies of vibration and the dynamic response of the structure subject to harmonic loads were obtained. A railway vehicle during his operation is subjected to various harmonic loads caused by irregularities in the track. These harmonic loads have a working frequency that varies with the displacement speed of the train. Therefore it is important determine the natural frequencies of vibration of the structure and the dynamics response to harmonic loads to determine the security with which operates the tank car and avoid structural problems.
