Sažetak

A train articulation system is a joint or collection of joints at which something is articulated, or hinged, for bending. This paper deals with the construction of a passenger train’s articulation system in which the wagons are connected via Jacobs bogies. The work includes the construction, design, finite element method (FEM) analysis and comparison of the results of strains gathered by FEM and analytical methods. Furthermore, the comparison of the welded type and casted tape of joint is contemplated using permitted strains and the feasibility of a particular construction as criteria.
