Introduction
The structural design of railway vehicle bodies depends on the loads they are subject to and the characteristics of the materials they are manufactured from. Within the scope of this European Standard, it is intended to provide a uniform basis for the structural design of the vehicle body. The loading requirements for the vehicle body structural design and testing are based on proven experience supported by the evaluation of experimental data and published information. The aim of this European Standard is to allow the designer freedom to optimize his design whilst maintaining requisite levels of safety. This European Standard defines no specific arithmetical techniques in order not to affect the developments in analysis methods and permit innovative developments by vehicle designers and operators. Changes due to advances in scientific knowledge and technology will be taken into account at suitable intervals through revisions and/or supplements. /

Scope
This European Standard defines minimum structural requirements for railway vehicle bodies. This European Standard specifies the loads vehicle bodies shall be capable of sustaining, identifies how material data shall be used and presents the principles to be used for design verification by analysis and testing. The railway vehicles are divided into categories which are defined only with respect to the structural requirements of the vehicle bodies. These structural requirements should not be confused with operating requirements. It is the responsibility of the operator to decide as to which structural category railway vehicles shall be designed. Some vehicles may not fit into any of the defined categories; the structural requirements for such railway vehicles should be specified by the operator using the principles presented in this European Standard. The standard applies to all railway vehicles within the EU and EFTA territories. The specified requirements assume operating conditions and circumstances such as are prevalent in these countries.

Definitions
For the purpose of this European Standard, the following definitions apply:
Page 4 EN 12663:2000
2.4 Vehicle masses 2.4.1 Mass of the vehicle body in working order m1 m1
The mass in working order m1 consists of the completely assembled vehicle body with all mounted parts. This includes the full operating reserves of water, sand, fuel, foodstuffs etc. and the overall weight of staff. m1

d) The operator shall supply data defining the expected service conditions. In conjunction with the operator, it is the task of the designer to identify all significant load cases in a meaningful way from these data and to ensure that the design satisfies them. Where a vehicle body is a development of an earlier design for which the safety has been demonstrated, and similar service conditions apply, then earlier data may be used, supported by comparative evidence. Areas of significant change shall be re-analysed and/or tested. The requirements of this European Standard are based on the use of metallic materials and requirements defined in 3.4.2, 3.4.3 and 3.6 and clauses 5 and 6 are specifically applicable only to such materials. If different (nonmetallic) materials are being used, then the basic principles of this standard shall still be applied. The designer shall ensure that he has suitable data to represent the performance of the materials. He shall adopt methods and requirements such that they are applied in a manner consistent with the current state of knowledge. 3.4.2, 3.4.3, 3.6 5, 6 The load cases used as the basis of vehicle body design shall comprise the relevant cases listed in clause 4. 4 All formal parameters are expressed as SI basic units and units derived from SI basic units. The gravitational acceleration g is -9,81 m/s2. g -9,81 m/s2
Page 7 EN 12663:2000
The choice of category from the clauses below shall be based on the structural requirements as defined in the tables in clause 4. These structural requirements should not be confused with the operating requirements. The track gauge is also not a determinant for the choice of category. 4
3.3.2 Material
For design purposes, the minimum material property values as defined by the material specification shall be used.
EN126632000 7
Page 8 EN 12663:2000
Where the material properties are affected, for example, by - rate of loading; - - time (e.g. by material ageing); - - environment (moisture absorption, temperature etc.); - - welding or other manufacturing processes - appropriate new minimum values shall be determined. Similarly, the S-N curve used to represent the fatigue behaviour of material shall incorporate the above effects and shall represent the lower bound of data scatter as defined in 5.2. S-N 5.2

If the analysis does incorporate local stress concentrations, then it is permissible for the theoretical stress to exceed the material yield or 0,2% proof limit. The areas of local plastic deformation associated with stress concentrations shall be sufficiently small so as not to cause any significant permanent deformation when the load is removed. 0,2%

where: Rm is the material ultimate stress, in N/mm2 Rm N/mm2 c is the calculated stress, in N/mm2. c N/mm2 Usually S2=1.5, but the factor may be reduced when at least one of the following conditions is fulfilled: S2=1.5 a) there are alternative load paths; a) b) for parts of the structure which are specifically designed to collapse in a controlled manner; b) c) the calculations are sufficiently detailed to give high confidence in the performance of the critical areas of the structure. c) The treatment of stress concentration as indicated in 3.4.2 also applies in this case. However, the effect of stress concentration shall be considered in more detail for brittle materials where local plastic yielding, as a mechanism for stress redistribution at the concentration, does not occur. 3.4.2 A reduction in the value of S2 shall be agreed between the operator and designer. S2
3.4.4 Stability
Local instability, in the form of elastic buckling, is permissible provided alternative load paths exist and the yield or proof criteria are met. The vehicle structure shall have a margin of safety against instability leading to general structural failure. This is to be achieved by ensuring that the ratio of the critical buckling stress to the calculated stresses shall be greater than or equal to S3: S3

where: cb is the critical buckling stress, in N/mm2 cb N/mm2 c is the calculated stress, in N/mm2 c N/mm2 Usually S3=1 ,5, but the factor may be reduced if the structure is specifically designed to collapse in a controlled manner. A reduction in the value of S3 shall be agreed between the operator and designer. S3=1.5S3

The methods to be used shall be agreed between designer and operator. 3.6.2 Provided the dynamic load cases which are being examined in the fatigue analysis already include allowance for any uncertainty and provided the minimum material properties are used as described in 5.2, no additional safety factors are necessary in these calculations. 5.2 Test methods to demonstrate the fatigue performance or to verify the calculations results are described in 6.3. 6.3

Changes in payload are likely to be significant in freight and rapid transit/metro applications. For other types of vehicle, it is usually sufficient to assume a constant payload over the entire operational life. Payload levels should be expressed in terms of a fraction of m2 the maximum payload. Changes in the distribution of payload shall be taken into account where relevant. / m2
