5 General
The major phases for the design of an axle are:
a) definition of the forces to be taken into account and calculation of the moments on the various
sections of the axle;
b) selection of the diameters of the axle body and journals and - on the basis of these diameters -
calculation of the diameters for the other parts of the axle;
c) the options taken are verified in the following manner:
— stress calculation for each section;
— comparison of these stresses with the maximum permissible stresses.
The maximum permissible stresses are mainly defined by:
— the steel grade;
— whether the axle is solid or hollow;
— the type of transmission of motor power.
An example of a data sheet with all these phases is given in Annex A.
6 Forces and moments to be taken into consideration
6.1 Types of forces
Three types of forces are to be taken into consideration as a function of the:
— masses in motion;
— braking system;
— traction.
6.2 Influence of masses in motion
The forces generated by masses in motion are concentrated along the vertical symmetry plane (y, z) (see
Figure 1) intersecting the axle centreline.

EN 15663.
Normal design payload is defined in EN 15663 on
which the standing passengers shall be:
2 2
160 kg/m (2 passengers per m ) in standing and
catering areas.
2 – Passenger vehicles other than high speed and Design mass in working order is defined in
long distance trains EN 15663.
Normal design payload is defined in EN 15663 on
which the standing passengers shall be:
2 2
— 210 kg/m (3 passengers per m ) in corridor
areas;
2 2
— 350 kg/m (5 passengers per m ) in vestibule
2 2
areas, 280 kg/m (4 passengers per m ) may be
used for specific services (e.g. 1st class area) as
described in the technical specification.
The bending moment M in any section is calculated from forces P , P , Q , Q , Y , Y and F as shown
x 1 2 1 2 1 2 i
in Figure 2. It represents the force equilibrium for right hand curving, i.e.:
— asymmetric distribution of forces;
— the direction of the forces F due to the masses of the non-suspended components selected in such a
i
manner that their effect on bending is added to that due to the vertical forces;
— the value of the forces F results from multiplying the mass of each non-suspended component by
i
3 g.
Left hand curving force equilibrium shall be also considered and the formulae and the forces in Figure 2
adapted.
Both cases, left-hand and right hand curving, shall be calculated to cover the worst case for the axle
design.

6.3 Effects due to braking
' ' '
Braking generates moments that can be represented by three components: M , M , M (see Figure 3).
x y z

Figure 3 — Moments due to braking
'
— the bending component M is due to the vertical forces parallel to the z axis;
x
'
— the bending component M is due to the horizontal forces parallel to the x-axis;
z
'
— the torsional component M is directed along the axle centreline (y-axis); it is due to the forces
y
applied tangentially to the wheels.
' ' '
The components M , M and M are shown in Table 5 for each method of braking.
x y z
If several methods of braking are superimposed, the values corresponding to each method shall be added.
For example, forces and moments due to electric braking or regenerative braking shall be added.
If other methods of braking are used, the forces and moments to be taken into account can be obtained
on the basis of the same principles as those shown in Table 5. Special attention should be paid to the
'
calculation of the M component, which is to be added directly to the M component representing
x x
masses in motion.

a
The coefficient 0,3 results from experiments which established the possible differences between the applied
forces of two blocks on each wheel.
b
Unless other values are justified:
for brake blocks:
Γ = 0,1 for cast iron blocks;
for all blocks with low-friction coefficient excluding cast iron;
Γ = 0,17
Γ = 0,25 for all blocks with high-friction coefficient excluding cast iron.
 for brake pads:
Γ = 0,35 .
c
This value was obtained from experimental tests and corresponds to a braking force difference between the
'
two wheels producing a force difference tangential to the wheels and equates to 0,3P . It includes the torsional
moment as specified in 6.3.
'
d
P is the proportion of P braked with the method of braking considered.
'
e
By convention, the torsional moment between rolling circles is selected at the value of 0,3PR . It includes the
torsional moment due to braking and the torsional moment as specified in 6.4.
f
When the disc is mounted on the wheel web, then y = 0
i
6.4 Effects due to curving and wheel geometry
'
For an unbraked wheelset, the torsional moment M is equal to 0,2 PR to account for possible differences
y
in wheel diameters and the effect of passing through curves.
For a braked wheelset, these effects are included in the effects due to braking.
6.5 Effects due to traction
The forces generated in the axle from the transmission of the driving torque under constant adhesion
conditions can normally be neglected. Calculation and experience have shown that the bending moments
'' '' ''
M and M , and torsional moment M , are smaller than those generated by braking.
x z y
Traction and braking moments do not occur simultaneously.
The axle design should also take into account the instantaneous loss of traction, e.g. short-circuit
overload. Short-circuit torque shall be considered as a static load.
Where traction control systems adopt a technique to maintain the tractive effort at the limit of adhesion,
any resultant controlled oscillations about the mean driving torque shall be considered in determining
''
the magnitude of the torsional moment M .
y
For some applications, when driving torque is very high in starting conditions, and when they occur very
often, the calculation shall be done as follows:
a) with the usual conditions described as above in 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4;
b) with the following starting conditions:
1) effects due to masses in motion given by Table 6;
2) effects due to starting driving torque.
The effect of the conditions defined in b 1) and b 2) shall be combined.

6.6 Calculation of the resultant moment
In every section, the maximum stresses are calculated from the resultant moment MR (see the following
note), which is equal to:

NOTE At a point on the outer surface of a solid cylinder (also in the case of a hollow one) with d as diameter,
the components MX, MY and MZ generate:
— a direct stress for MX and MZ;
— a shear stress for MY.
The direct stress has the following value (bending of beams with a circular section):

The value of the shear stress is the following (torsion of beams with a circular section):

In a cylindrical part located on the surface of a solid or hollow axle and in the bore of a hollow axle, the
stress correction factor K is equal to 1. However, each change in section produces a stress increment, the
maximum value of which can be found:
— at the bottom of a transition between two adjacent cylindrical parts with different diameters;
— at the groove bottom;
— at the intersection of the transition radii when the transition length is short (see 7.3.3 Note 2).
The stress correction factor K to calculate this increment is shown in the nomograms in Figure 5

5 General
The major phases for the design of an axle are:
a) definition of the forces to be taken into account and calculation of the moments on the various
sections of the axle;
b) selection of the diameters of the axle body and journals and - on the basis of these diameters -
calculation of the diameters for the other parts of the axle;
c) the options taken are verified in the following manner:
— stress calculation for each section;
— comparison of these stresses with the maximum permissible stresses.
The maximum permissible stresses are mainly defined by:
— the steel grade;
— whether the axle is solid or hollow;
— the type of transmission of motor power.
An example of a data sheet with all these phases is given in Annex A.
6 Forces and moments to be taken into consideration
6.1 Types of forces
Three types of forces are to be taken into consideration as a function of the:
— masses in motion;
— braking system;
— traction.
6.2 Influence of masses in motion
The forces generated by masses in motion are concentrated along the vertical symmetry plane (y, z) (see
Figure 1) intersecting the axle centreline.

Figure 2. It represents the force equilibrium for right hand curving, i.e.:
— asymmetric distribution of forces;
— the direction of the forces F due to the masses of the non-suspended components selected in such a
i
manner that their effect on bending is added to that due to the vertical forces;
— the value of the forces F results from multiplying the mass of each non-suspended component by 3 g.

Left hand curving force equilibrium shall be also considered and the formulae and the forces in Figure 2
adapted.
Both cases, left-hand and right hand curving, shall be calculated to cover the worst case for the axle
design.

If several methods of braking are superimposed, the values corresponding to each method shall be added.
For example, forces and moments due to electric braking or regenerative braking shall be added.
If other methods of braking are used, the forces and moments to be taken into account can be obtained
on the basis of the same principles as those shown in Table 5. Special attention should be paid to the

The coefficient 0,3 results from experiments which established the possible differences between the applied
forces of two blocks on each wheel.
b
Unless other values are justified:
r brake blocks:
Γ= 0,1 for cast iron blocks;
Γ= 0,17 for all blocks with low-friction coefficient excluding cast iron;
Γ= 0, 25 for all blocks with high-friction coefficient excluding cast iron.
for brake pads:
Γ= 0,35
c
This value was obtained from experimental tests and corresponds to a braking force difference between the
'
two wheels producing a force difference tangential to the wheels and equates to 0,3P . It includes the torsional
moment as specified in 6.3.
'
d
P is the proportion of P braked with the method of braking considered.

By convention, the torsional moment between rolling circles is selected at the value of 0,3P R . It includes the
torsional moment due to braking and the torsional moment as specified in 6.4.

6.4 Effects due to curving and wheel geometry
'
For an unbraked wheelset, the torsional moment M is equal to 0,2 PR to account for possible differences
y
in wheel diameters and the effect of passing through curves.
For a braked wheelset, these effects are included in the effects due to braking.
6.5 Effects due to traction
The forces generated in the axle from the transmission of the driving torque under constant adhesion
conditions can normally be neglected. Calculation and experience have shown that the bending moments
'' '' ''
M and M , and torsional moment M , are smaller than those generated by braking. Traction and
x z y
braking moments do not occur simultaneously.
The axle design should also take into account the instantaneous loss of traction, e.g. short-circuit
overload. Short-circuit torque shall be considered as a static load.
Where traction control systems adopt a technique to maintain the tractive effort at the limit of adhesion,
any resultant controlled oscillations about the mean driving torque shall be considered in determining
''
the magnitude of the torsional moment M .
y
For some applications, when driving torque is very high in starting conditions, and when they occur very
often, the calculation shall be done as follows:
a) with the usual conditions described as above in 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4;
b) with the following starting conditions:
1) effects due to masses in motion given by Table 6;
2) effects due to starting driving torque.
The effect of the conditions defined in b 1) and b 2) shall be combined.
The most severe conditions between a) and b) shall be used to calculate the axle.

6.6 Calculation of the resultant moment
In every section, the maximum stresses are calculated from the resultant moment MR (see the following
note), which is equal to:

MR= MX +MY +MZ

where MX , MY and MZ are the sums of the various components due to masses in motion and braking:
