Structural analysis of Aluminium coach body

알루미늄 객차의 구조강도 해석

Large extrusions of aluminium alloy can be more general and useful as structural material of rolling stocks to reduce weight and labor cost than mild steel and stainless steel. Our company is studying aluminium coach body will be made of 6005A and A5083 alloy. In this paper, at first detailed finite element analysis is carried out to calculate the orthotropic material properties of aluminium extrusions. And then global strength evaluation of coach body is carried out according to UIC 566 OR code.
