Research of Loading of a Hopper Container During Sea Transportation by a Train Ferry
1 University of Žilina, Žilina, Slovak Republic
ABSTRACT: The efficiency of freight transportation can be improved by the use of hopper containers. If required they can be equipped with lift-off roofs, which makes it possible to transport the freight requiring protection from weather. The possibility to transport these containers by sea was studied through their loading. The research included the case when a hopper container was part of the combined train and transported by the train ferry. It was taken into account that the container was loaded with bulk freight. The pressure to the container walls was determined with the Coulomb method. The value of the pressure from the bulk freight was included in the strength calculation. It was found that the maximum equivalent stresses in the container structure did not exceed the allowable values. The study also included the determination of the container stability relative to the flat wagon frame during sea transportation. It was found that with consideration of the typical diagram of interaction between the container and the flat wagon frame the equilibrium stability of the container was provided at the rolling angles up to 26°.
