Using numerical simulation to analyze the strength properties of the developed demountable body of a trolley

One of the safest types of public transport is the metro, which is actively developing in many countries. Despite a number of advantages, the construction of metro tunnels is a rather labor-intensive process, which involves complex technical equipment in the form of tunnel boring complexes. Tunnel boring complexes include locomotives that perform the functions of hauling away rock using trolley with removable body. Trolley differs from their usual characteristics - in weight, dimensions, as well as the component composition of individual systems, in particular the compressed-air braking system. The article is devoted to the analysis of the parameters of the stress-strain state of one of the main load-bearing elements of a trolley- the casing. As a result of the analysis, design loading cases were selected, the most loaded parts of the body were determined, recommendations were formed for choosing the optimal material thickness of various elements and increasing the load-bearing capacity of the body.
