Tank Car Head Shield Fatigue Evaluation.

Abstract

An experimental program was performed to evaluate the fatigue damage sensitivity of a railroad tank car head shield, required by Federal Regulation HM-144 in the transport of certain hazardous materials. The test procedures and data collected are documented. Analysis of the data obtained from these tests showed that currently applicable head shield specifications were met.
