A rigid–flexible coupling finite element model of coupler for analyzing train instability behavior during collision

Abstract Rail vehicles generate huge longitudinal impact loads in collisions. If unreasonable matching exists between the compressive strength of the intermediate coupler and the structural strength of the car body, the risk of car body structure damage and train derailment will increase. Herein, a...
