Abstract:

The Federal Railroad Administration’s Office of Research

and Development is conducting research into passenger

locomotive fuel tank crashworthiness. A series of impact tests is

being conducted to measure fuel tank deformation under two

types of dynamic loading conditions – blunt and raking

impacts. This program is intended to result in a better

understanding of design features that improve the puncture

resistance of passenger locomotive fuel tanks. One reason for

performing this program is to aid in development of appropriate

standards for puncture resistance to be applied to alternativelydesigned

fuel tanks, such as on diesel multiple unit (DMU)

passenger rail equipment. This paper describes the results of

the third blunt impact test of retired F-40 locomotive fuel tanks.
