Abstract

For the first time in the theory of solid cargo fastening there has been investigated a case when the cargo is in motion in relation to the wagon floor with acceleration r a , its speed being at this moment equal to r v . There have been set out the results of analytical investigation of cargo shift in dynamics and accordingly elongation and tension in flexible fastening elements under the action of plane force system. It has been established that the longitudinal force perceived by the flexible fastening elements in value is smaller than the force obtained when inertia in relative motion (at rest) is not taken into account. Hence, the cargo shift lengthwise the wagon in this case will be smaller. This, in its turn, will affect the decrease of elongation value and consequently the decrease of the effort of every flexible element, thus increasing their load-carrying capacity.
