The load pattern (train load) may be composed of a great number of individual "parts". For example, imagine a standard train with many carriages. If such a load pattern moves along a curved track, it does not move as a rigid unit. Only individual carriages are rigid, but they are connected in "joints" that can rotate. These joints or points of rotation are called turning points.
|
Position x |
Defines the x-coordinate of the turning point. |
Example:
Let us have a load pattern composed of six pairs of point forces representing three carriages. Turning points are defined in between individual carriages.
When on a straight track, the turning points have no effect.
When the train gets into a corner, the whole system of loads "breaks" in the defined turning point.
