Railway applications - Wheelsets and bogies - Non-powered axles - Design method; German version EN 13103:2009+A1:2010
Bahnanwendungen - Radsätze und Drehgestelle - Laufradsatzwellen - Konstruktions- und Berechnungsrichtlinie; Deutsche Fassung EN 13103:2009+A1:2010
Overview
This standard is applicable to axles fitted to rolling stock intended to run under normal European conditions. Before using this standard, if there is any doubt as to whether the railway operating conditions are normal, it is necessary to determine whether an additional design factor has to be applied to the maximum permissible stresses. The calculation of wheelsets for special applications (for example, tamping/lining/levelling machines) may be made according to this standard only for the load cases of free-running and running in train formation. This standard does not apply to workload cases. They are calculated separately. Furthermore, this standard contains Amendment A1, through which the new Directive 2008/57/EC on interoperability has been adopted to the body of standards.
