However, the stiffness of the rail is relatively small and is not enough to transmit the moment of one beam to another, so when calculating, it is assumed that the beams are jointed together (Figure V-40). Shear force transmission joints are assumed Q+, Q-. The value of shear force Q depends on the ...

In which: Q - Train load transmitted to a vehicle (carrying capacity of the vehicle); n - Number of wheels of a vehicle; K , K - symbols as above; [P k ] can be calculated according to formula (5-25) [P k ] = 2R . b r .[  ] , (5-25) In which: R - wheel radius; b r - working part width of the ...
