Resumen

A simplified roll-plane model is proposed to assess the effect of the vertical position of the center of gravity of the body-cargo system, on the rail fatigue life. A set of assumptions are made to simplify the analysis, including neglecting the bogie’s dynamic contribution to the wheel-rail forces. Three performance measures are defined to assess the effect of different dedicated railway cars on the rail fatigue life, including the fourth-power law, the load dispersion, and the rail fatigue. The simulation results suggest that the vertical position of the center of gravity of the body-cargo set, severely affects the fatigue life of the railway material, with the two-stack car being the most aggressive. For example, twice as aggressive as the gondola car.
