Abstract

The main goal of this article is to present the design of a removable module that facilitates transportation of containers in open wagons. This module functions as an intermediary adapter between a wagon body and a container, and it ensures their reliable interaction. The loading of the removable module with the container into an open wagon is provided by suspended or other types of loading and unloading devices. Appropriate calculations were made to study the strength of the removable module during loading and unloading operations. The movement of the removable module using steel ropes and a spreader was considered. The calculation of the strength of the removable module was carried out in the SolidWorks Simulation software, which implements the finite element method. It was established that the strength of the removable module is ensured within the considered load schemes. The results of the conducted research will contribute to increasing the efficiency of container transportation by rail and to the development of a modular vehicle design.
