Design and Analysis of 500 MT Wagon Car

Abstract

The material handling of the heavy process equipments like, boiler, nuclear reactors, aerospace jobs, pressure vessel is a di cult task requiring specialized handling equip- ments. Transfer wagon car is a one of the material handling equipment for material handling of heavy loads. Motorized material transfer wagon car is meant for trans- ferring material from one bay (shop) to another. Wagon cars are used to move heavy loads on the standard rail section grouted in ground. This project is related to design and analysis of 500 MT wagon car. The design of the various components such as rail, track wheel, axle, beam, platform structure and pin is carried out as per respective Indian Standards and analysis is done using nite element software. A software is also developed using Microsoft visual Studio to avoid carry out the parametric design. Also a module is developed to generate the model of the rail, track wheel, axle-retaining plate, pin and platform for parametric design.
