Abstract

This study presents a locally designed and developed semi-permanent coupler for the DOST-MIRDC’s train consisting of five 12-meter-length coaches. Using the Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software, the capability of the coupler for tension and compressive loads were considered. The calculation for the compression load of 1000 kN was required to pull the train in case of emergency towing. The CAD-modelled coupler was then simulated and analyzed using Solidworks software. The simulation was focused only on the collapsible elements for the compression load and the flange, rods, and nuts for the tension load. Using a 2000-kN Test of Metallic Products at MIRDC, the proof load test and breaking load test of 500 kN and 925.61 kN were respectively attained. The result of the tension load testing shows that the designed and fabricated semipermanent coupler is capable of withstanding load of 100 kN with a significant tolerance.

五节车厢半永久联轴器的设计与研制

本研究提出了一种本地设计和开发的由5节12米长车厢组成的dot - mirdc列车的半永久耦合器。利用计算机辅助设计(CAD)软件，考虑了联轴器在拉伸和压缩载荷下的性能。在紧急牵引情况下，牵引列车需要计算1000 kN的压缩载荷。然后使用Solidworks软件对cad建模的耦合器进行了仿真和分析。模拟只集中在压缩载荷下的可折叠元件和拉伸载荷下的法兰、杆和螺母。通过在MIRDC进行2000 kN的金属制品试验，获得了500 kN的证明载荷试验和925.61 kN的断裂载荷试验。拉伸载荷试验结果表明，所设计制造的半永久耦合器能够承受100 kN的载荷，且公差较大。
