Abstract
This paper presents the results of the investigation of the causes of the occurrence and the influence of the dynamic effects in the couplers of the remotely controlled electric shunting locomotives and a set of fully loaded rail cars. These are typical rail-road sets, working at the logistic area of the central ore trans-shipment of large steelworks with heavy rail traffic. The stated effects lead to excessive deterioration of the supporting structure of the locomotives, axle gripping, drive mechanisms and braking systems. To achieve the desired goal, the methods and means of numerical and experimental modelling have been used. Based on the performed numerical and experimental analyses were then specified the recommended design and operational measures to prevent the failures mentioned above.
