Results for Intermodal <strong>Car</strong> Testing<br />
The primary result of the data processing was a set of cycle<br />
counted histograms containing the maximum value,<br />
minimum value and number of cycles for each load<br />
magnitude “bin”.<br />
♦ This data can<br />
then be used in<br />
fatigue damage<br />
calculations for<br />
critical areas of<br />
each car<br />
design. An<br />
example of a<br />
few rows of a<br />
longitudinal<br />
coupler force<br />
histogram is<br />
shown.<br />
