Research into the dynamic loading on the carrying structure of a flat wagon with lower center of gravity when transporting firing equipment

Abstract

Abstract The article presents the study results of the dynamic loading of a flat wagon with a lower gravity center.The authors built a mathematical model that takes into account displacements of a flat wagon loaded with an anti-aircraft installation firing in motion. The solution of the differential equations of motion is carried out by using the Runge-Kutta method. The maximum vertical acceleration was about 5 m/sec2 and almost independent of the fire angle. The horizontal acceleration was about 37 m/sec2. The acceleration values obtained did not exceed the normative ones. The study defined the natural oscillation frequencies for the frame of a flat wagon with lower gravity center. It was established that the critical oscillation frequencies were within the admissible values. The results of the work will contribute to the creation of recommendations on the transportation of military equipment on wagons and the possibility of conducting military operations from them.
