Abstract

The article presents a real case of a collision of an electric locomotive with a truck that was transporting crushed stone, as a result of which it led to tragic consequences. Numerical modeling combined on the basis of the finite element method and the discrete element method made it possible to evaluate the effect of bulk cargo located at the time of collision in the back of a truck on irreversible deformations of the driver’s cab, destruction of glazing, absorption of impact energy, as well as accelerations at the driver’s seat installation places. The numerical modeling technique takes into account the geometric and physical nonlinearity of the object of study. Particles of bulk cargo are considered as solid bodies with unchangeable geometry. The deformation of the system occurs due to deformations at the points of contact between the particles. The results of the study can be used to make changes to the power frame of the driver’s cab of operated electric locomotives in order to avoid tragic consequences and preserve the life and health of the locomotive crew.
