Light Weight New Generation Freight Wagon Design and Prototype Production

1. Description of the project: Design and Prototype Production of Light Weight New Generation Freight Car

2. Purpose of the Project: Increasing the locomotive gravity, reducing the stress applied to the road superstructure and carrying more load by saving energy.

3. Rationale for Selection: To gain material and labor, reduce transportation costs and increase the amount of cargo carried.

4. Project Steps: Examining the material properties used in the design of existing wagons,? Stress and vibration analysis of existing wagons under different loading conditions,

Selection of light and durable material to be used on carrier elements and surfaces in the wagon body,

Stress analysis of selected wagon materials and new wagon design under virtual loads and investigation of their compliance with specifications,

Development of the design according to the results by producing prototypes and making tests.

5. Budget Items: Powerful computer hardware for analysis and modeling in virtual environment, Tests and application-oriented studies

6. Application Type of Results: Implementing the model developed in the prototype on lines and trains in the operation of TCDD and ensuring its export.
