Abstract

This research deals with determination of the loading of an open container during operating modes. The special feature of this container is its convex walls. This engineering solution increases the useful capacity of a container by 8% in comparison to that of the prototype. The elastic elements in the bearing structure of a container were introduced to decrease the dynamic loads. The dynamic loads in the vertical plane were dumped by means of the dry friction forces between the components of the cross bearers of the container’s base. The dynamic loads in the longitudinal plane were dumped by means of the dry friction forces between the horizontal parts of fittings and fixed lashing components. This study presents the modelling of the dynamic loading of a container in a vertical plane. The dynamic loads of a container in the longitudinal plane were determined with a mathematical model. The authors determined the basic strength characteristics of the bearing structure of a container; and found that the maximum stresses to a container were about 200 MPa, concentrated near the front fittings. The maximum displacements were recorded in the cross bearers of the base and amounted to about 4 mm.
