Static and fatigue testing of the e-train articulation joint (IM-SI-304)

1.0 Internal Memorandum SI 71/30 described stress measurements taken during POP-train operation at Old Dalby. Further tests have been carried out in the laboratory on a mock-up articulation joint (fig. 1). These consisted of static stress, load and deflection measurements to establish the shaft stiffness; the rig had a fixing...
