Abstract:

The Government and industry have a common interest in ; improving the safety performance of railroad tank cars carrying ; hazardous materials. Research is ongoing to develop strategies ; to maintain the structural integrity of railroad tank cars carrying ; hazardous materials (hazmat) during collisions. ; This paper describes engineering studies on improved tank ; car concepts. The process used to formulate these concepts is ; based on a traditional mechanical engineering design approach. ; This approach includes initially defining the desired ; performance, developing strategies that are effective in meeting ; this performance, and developing the tactics for implementing ; the strategies. The tactics are embodied in the concept. The ; tactics and concept evolve through engineering design studies, ; until a design satisfying all of the design requirements is ; developed. Design requirements include service, ; manufacturing, maintenance, repair, and inspection ; requirements, as well as crashworthiness performance ; requirements.
