Dynamic Processes in a Mechanical System with Shock-Absorbing Cargo-Securing Devices with Dry Friction

  • Published:
International Applied Mechanics Aims and scope

A new system for damping longitudinal transport loads based on a special shock-absorbing dry-friction turnstiles is proposed. The aim of this work is to evaluate the efficiency of longitudinal shock absorbers during the rail transportation of heavy and oversized cargos. An extreme dynamic loading of a transport system with such a damping system is studied using methods of mathematical modeling. The equations of motion of the transport system are formulated and integrated numerically. During numerical experiments, the main characteristics of shock absorbers that affect the quality of their functioning are established. The efficiency of dry friction shock absorbers in reducing the dynamic impact on transported goods is assessed quantitatively. Shock absorbers can reduce the dynamic effects on transported goods by a factor of more than 6, compared with the existing traditional method of rail transportation. As a result of the numerical analysis of the dynamic behavior of the transport system, it was found that the longitudinal transport loads on the cargo can be reduced significantly by fixing them to the platform in a “movable-adjustable” way (as opposed to the traditional “rigid” fixation).
