The client asked to check the modernized structure of the SM48 (TEM2) locomotive in terms of meeting the requirements of the PN EN 12663 2: 2010 standard and to optimize the structure in terms of strength in the event of failure to meet the criteria of immediate and operational strength together with welds.

Project description

The client asked to check the modernized structure of the SM48 (TEM2) locomotive in terms of meeting the requirements of the PN EN 12663 2: 2010 standard and to optimize the structure in terms of strength in the event of failure to meet the criteria of immediate and operational strength together with welds.

Solution

Create a complete calculation model and evaluate the structure with reinforcement proposals approved on an ongoing basis with the Employer.

Together with the Tabor Dębica team, the CAE team developed and strengthened the structure for several weeks to meet the strength and technological requirements.

The result

Durable and load-resistant design after modification, tested by Endego engineers, will ensure safe operation for many years.
