TRANSPORT TECHNICS. INVESTIGATION OF ELEMENTS. RELIABILITY
Statistical estimates of the probability of fail-safe functioning of freight wagons in the interval between repairs
During exploitation wagons must fully implement the transportation process safely. Wagons spend their own technical resources in the process of exploitation, and therefore they need to be restored. During the process of moving, accumulated defects in the moving part, axle boxes, brake equipment and in other knots of wagons, and the number of failures in wagons depend on the reliability of the construction and on the quantity of kilometers that the wagons have run.
