1. Introduction
The railroad is of paramount importance for the development of heavy industry, as well as for meeting public needs for transportation. Wagon fleet is the largest and important part of railroad assets [1]. The level of technical and economic indicators of wagons directly affects efficiency of fulfilling the main task of railroad transport - delivery of goods and passengers. In this case, the key source of income in railroad transportation is the use of freight wagons [2]. At the same time, current technical condition of the wagon fleet [3] necessitates its renovation with competitive models.
According to a generally accepted classification [4], freight wagons are divided into universal and specialized. Recognized trends in the development of railways [5, 6] indicate economically-substantiated expediency of increasing the
proportion of transportation by specialized wagons. Given this, of particular relevance and importance are the issues related to development of specialized wagons in order to reduce costs in their lifecycle. Some of the most sought after specialized wagons on the railroads of the CIS countries are hopper wagons for iron ore pellets (Fig. 1), which are used for the transportation of hot iron ore pellets and agglomerate. The efficiency of using these wagons is very important, both for railroad transport and metallurgy.
In this case, the rated operation time of such wagons is limited to 15 years, which predetermines the need for their continuous renewal. This in turn renders special relevance and importance to the issue of reducing the cost of manufacturing and repair of such wagons. One of the decisive factors in bringing down the specified cost is the development and implementation of elements whose production will require less material means. A promising way to achieve the desig-
nated objective is the development and implementation of effective solutions on resource-saving. Significant share in the cost of manufacturing hopper wagons for iron ore pellets (as well as other modern freight wagons) is allocated for purchasing specialized expensive wagon profiles. Such profiles may include, for example, wagon I-beam sections of the center girder (Fig. 2) of a hopper wagon for iron ore pellets. Because the specialized wagon rolled steel requires appropriate equipment with its tuning during manufacturing [4, 7], but the demand for it is not constant over time, selling it implies certain specificity. Particularly, when buying it, it is required to purchase similarly overpriced (multiplied by additional coefficient) rolled steel, included in the whole batch, of a length less than actually needed. Consequently, given the impossibility of using such rolled steel for wagon structures, it can be utilized only for a plant's general needs or, alternatively, be sold as scrap metal.

The above-described situation predetermines relevance of conducting scientific-research and experimental-design work related to the implementation into load-bearing structures of hopper wagons for iron ore pellets of the coupled profiles (connected by welding) rather than the solid rolled profiles. In this case, high-efficiency realization of such direction can be achieved through modernization of the most material-intensive nodes. For the hopper wagons for iron ore pellets, such a node is the center girder (Fig. 2).
2. Literature review and problem statement
Contemporary studies that deal with reducing the cost of freight wagons are mostly aimed at improving their
designs by improving procedures for their design or implementation of new materials. Article [4] reviews, in particular, innovations proposed for the designs of semi-wagons for a «1520 mm railroad space», as well as special features during designing them, but it fails to outline possibilities of applying such innovations for the hopper semi-wagons. The authors of paper [5] define and address promising directions in the design of railroad semi-wagons' bodywork in order to improve technical and economic indicators, but they did not reveal the economic potential of commercial use of the specialized expensive wagon rolled sheet with a non-standard length. Articles [8, 9] present new approaches towards improvement of the dynamic calculations of wagon structures, and report more accurate results based on them. Thus, paper [8] describes appropriate features and results of dynamic characteristics of the platform wagons. Article [9] focuses on presentation of the proposed methods for determining dynamic characteristics for various types of carrying wagon designs. A number of current publications address designs of the new-generation freight wagon engineering, which are developed using advanced materials and technologies. The authors of [5], for example, show results of computer simulation of the prototype of a freight wagon with the basic bearing elements executed without redundant connections. The approaches, presented in [5, 8, 9], however, are focused on utilizing solid profiles and do not allow precise calculation of the implementation of coupled variants of beams designs in different nodes of freight wagons. Paper [6] features innovations, proposed by the authors, in the running gear module, and demonstrates their effect on the body module, however, it fails to consider any variation in its designs. Article [7] published results of work on the generation of promising configurations of profiles that can be used in the production of different types of rolling stock. The authors, however, do not give data on the possibility of creating promising profiles for designs coupled along the length. Paper [10] highlights proposed methods for analysis of railroad structures of the future and techniques to extend their functionality, but it lacks, similar to article [5], data on improving working functionality of non-standard specialized profiles. Important role in today's wagon-building belong to appropriate approaches to designing; article [11], for example, presented a devised methodological apparatus for making optimal decisions. Yet again, it does not provide comprehensive opportunities for the formation of conjugated beams that would combine both optimal configuration and length.
Given the above, we can conclude that the results of analysis of information sources on the examined subject indicate the absence of sufficient methodological and practical materials on the introduction of coupled variants of beam designs to the center girder of hopper wagons for iron ore pellets.
3. The aim and objectives of the study
The aim of present study is experimental strength confirmation of the feasibility of theoretically-substantiated implementation of the coupled design of center girder for the hopper wagons for iron ore pellets.
To achieve the specified aim, the following tasks have been set and solved:
- to work out an engineering-technological solution for the implementation of the coupled design of center girder for hopper wagons for iron ore pellets;
- to estimate the loads acting on the improved design, according to the norms of wagon calculations of wagons;
- to create an adequate spatial finite-element computer model of the improved design of hopper wagons for iron ore pellets, and, based on it, simulation computer modeling of different estimated cases of work in terms of load acceptance by the structure;
- to devise a procedure of experiment to confirm results derived theoretically, and to conduct it.
4. Theoretical and experimental studies into implementation of the coupled design of a center girder for hopper wagons for iron ore pellets
4. 1. Engineering-technological description of implementation of the coupled design of a center girder for hopper wagons for iron ore pellets
We chose as the wagon-prototype to consider a possibility of implementation of the coupled variant of beam designs in a center girder (Fig. 2, 3) of hopper wagons for iron ore pellets their standard structure, namely, model 20-9749 [12] made by GP «Ukrspetswagon» (Ukraine).

Coupled variant of beam design in the center girder of a hopper wagon for iron ore pellets: a — isometric view of the estimated computer spatial model of improved beams in the center girder of hopper wagons for iron ore pellets; b — beams of the center girder of improved design in a hopper wagon for iron ore pellets, conjugated for a welding coupling; c — edge of the I-beam prepared (with worked-out edges) for butt joint
Implementation of the coupled variant of beams in a center girder will allow efficient use of costly rolled wagon profiles in the appropriate design. Preliminary economic calculations showed that such solutions would have a positive impact on the cost of manufacturing and repair of improved
wagons, namely, create conditions for bringing down the cost by 10 %. In order to accomplish the set goal, we developed engineering and technological solutions (Fig. 3).
In this case, we substantiated places for the implementation of butt joints in the center girder between a pivot beam and a slab (Fig. 3, a). Before welding and coupling, it is required to work out the edges (details are in Fig. 3, b, c).
4. 2. Strength analysis of the center girder using a simulated computer modeling
In this case, the possibility to implement such modernization should be confirmed by the results of theoretical and experimental studies. First, we substantiated the possibility of implementation of the coupled variant of beams theoretically, namely by computer modeling methods using the software complex Cosmos Works based on ECM of GP «Ukrspetswagon». In this case, the studies were conducted in two main areas: strength analysis of the improved center girder node (Fig. 3), and the analysis of its fatigue strength (determining its resource). Since a hopper wagon for iron ore pellets is a wholly-welded carrying system, research into acceptance of operational loads by the center girder node considered exclusively a general structure.
Strength analysis of a hopper wagon for iron ore pellets was conducted in accordance with the applicable acting documents. The wagon is a wholly-welded beam structure.
In the given calculation, we estimated the strained-deformed state of the carrying elements of a wagon caused by basic operating loads using a computing software package that implements the method of finite elements. Configuring the adequacy of the estimated model was carried out based on field tests of the hopper wagons of model 20-9749. The structure was simulated by finite elements. The number of finite elements is 31.423, of nodes - 24.693.
The derived finite-element model is shown in Fig. 4.

It is accepted that the minimal permissible safety factor for fatigue resistance of wagon structures is [n] = 1.8.
5. Discussion of results of experimental study into the theory of implementation of a coupled design of the center girder for hopper wagons for iron ore pellets
Calculation results have shown that the condition for strength n > [n] for the area of a center girder between a pivot beam and a slab is satisfied. Fatigue resistance evaluation results have demonstrated that the safety factors of fatigue of the most stressed section of a frame exceed permissible fatigue safety factor of [n] = 1.8. Strength in the center girder node of a frame of the wagon of model 20-9749, equipped for
the transportation of hot iron ore pellets, is sufficient over the entire estimated lifetime of wagon of 15 years.
Based on the results of theoretical studies, we have confirmed the possibility of using a coupled variant of beams in the center girder of hopper wagons for iron ore pellets. Consequently, the proposed technical solutions have been patented and practically detailed in [13].
At the next stage of research, we conducted full-scale tests of the created physical model of hopper wagons for iron ore pellets (Fig. 6). In this case, we employed methods for determining strength characteristics of the design using the technique of tensometry. Thus, Fig. 7 shows a layout of arranging strain gauges on the elements of body of the pilot hopper wagon for iron ore pellets.

Experimental studies fully confirmed correctness of the performed theoretical calculations and the possibility of industrial implementation of the proposed improvement in a center girder in the framework of a comprehensive (since it includes a number of other designed features) modernization.
5. Conclusions
1. The developed engineering-technological solutions of the coupled (instead of the profile solid along the length, it consists of two parts connected by welding) design of a center girder for hopper wagons for iron ore pellets are efficient and their application is feasible for industrial production.
2. The modified technique (taking into account the coupled design of beams) for calculating the loads acting on the improved structure allowed us to determine with sufficient accuracy their magnitudes, as confirmed by the results of a full-scale experiment.
3. The spatial finite-element computer model of the improved design of hopper wagons for iron ore pellets that we created is adequate (discrepancy between the magnitudes of strength stresses in the structure, obtained on its basis, and those derived experimentally, does not exceed 10 %) and could be used in further scientific-research and design-engineering work. The applied methodology of simulation computer modeling of different estimated cases (it is a combination of loads applied to the structure in different operational situations) in the work on acceptance of loads by a wagon design is effective, which is confirmed by sufficient convergence (the difference does not exceed 7.5 %) between the estimated data and those actually obtained.
4. Results of analysis of the conducted
experiment for determining the rated re-
source of the improved hopper wagons for
iron ore pellets allow us to argue about the relevance of the proposed technique and fulfillment of design conditions required for the operation. Thus, we revealed a sufficient agreement between the theoretically derived characteristics and their experimental values. Such indicators include the following: maximal stress at the level of 110 MPa; safety factor of fatigue resistance is 11.6; fatigue limit (by amplitude) for the control area at a symmetrical cycle and established loading mode with a basic number of cycles N0 = 107 is equal to 104; the amplitude of dynamic stress of conditional symmetrical cycle is 8.9; all of which will ensure a 15-year-long operation time.
