A study method for possible breakdown of boiler tank for dangerous goods in an emergency collision

An impact to the boiler of a railway tank car in an emergency in the event of a car derailment and falling onto a track has been considered. In this case, boiler breakdown, spillage of the transported cargo and fire can occur. When developing a method, the following objectives have been solved: development of a method for determining a stress-deformed state (SDS) of a cylindrical shell at the initial elastic stage of deformation; - development of a method for calculating the deformation energy for the boiler shell when the yield point in the impact zone is reached; - development of a method for estimating the conditions for the beginning of the limiting state (shell destruction). For the shell behavior to be modeled, a moment theory of shells has been used with taking into account the nonlinear terms in stress-strain deformations. The energy principles in the form of the Lagrange principle have been applied to compile a resolving system of equations. The onset of the limiting state is taken according to the condition of a cut along the striker perimeter. A system of the nonlinear equations at the first stage and a transcendental equation at the second one has been solved using numerical methods. The proposed method makes it possible to develop methods of protection in terms of the choice of methods for attaching add-on elements to the boiler.
