The Mechanical Fracture of a Railway Bogie under Cyclic Loading by Ansys

Abstract

The main objective this study has been to modeling a train bogie in order to highlight some flaws. Indeed, during the operation, premature deterioration of the bogie axles was observed. The purpose of this model is to present a numerical model to predict the mechanical behavior under different cyclic form of stress. The numeric and geometric model will be directed by Ansys software.
