Lecture announcement: Structural integrity of rail vehicles (Sfz VI)

The lecture of the summer semester 2022 will take place from 08.04.2022, 10:30 to 12:00. The location of the lecture will be published in "RWTH-Moodle".

Ensuring the strength of the load-bearing components of a rail vehicle is one of the most important tasks in the development of these products. The structures of the load-bearing components of a rail vehicle must provide decades of service without failure. Wheelsets, bogie frames and car bodies have to be designed for 'safe life' in any case, as there is no fallback level. This event will initially focus on the strength and collision safety-compliant design of the car body and the corresponding verification procedure, as well as the structural verifications of the bogie frame and wheelsets.

Lecturers: Dr. Burkhard Arras, Siemens Mobility GmbH, Krefeld and Dr. Alois Starlinger, Stadler Rheintal AG, St. Margarethen, Switzerland
