Abstract:

The U.S. Department of Transportation’s (USDOT’s) Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) has sponsored a series of four full-scale side impact tests on specification DOT-113 railroad tank cars. A DOT-113 is a specially designed tank car intended to transport cryogenic liquid commodities. For each side impact test, researchers at the USDOT’s Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (Volpe Center) created a pre-test finite element (FE) model to estimate the overall force-time response of the impactor, puncture/non-puncture outcomes of the impacted tank car, global motions of the tank car, internal pressures within the tank car, and the energy absorbed by the tank car during the impact.
