Abstract:

This paper describes the requirements and the implementation of a series of impact tests of rail passenger equipment. The test ; requirements the desired measurements are dictated by the ; characteristics of the vehicle, as well as uncertainties in the analysis techniques used to evaluate the collision behavior of the equipment. The required measurements are implemented with available ; measurement transducers, including accelerometers, strain gages, and ; string potentiometers. The measurement data are gathered using an ; on-board data acquisition system.
