Definitions

  • the present invention relates to construction of a body structure of a railroad car, and more particularly to a railroad car body structure which is suitable for such railroad cars as traveling at a high speed.
  • a body structure of a railroad car which is built up by using brazed honeycomb panels made of a light alloy as outer panel members for, e.g., a side construction, a roof construction and a floor construction, and arranging skeleton members nearer to the inside of the car than those panels.
  • EP 369 134 discloses the construction of body panels using a honeycomb core enclosed by plates, in which a reinforcing frame is incorporated inside the panels.
  • EP 405 889 also discloses the construction of body panels using a honeycomb core; however in this document a frame is used to join adjacent body panels.
  • the car body structure is subjected to the loads of passengers and various equipment, the dead load of the body structure itself, as well as the load due to the above-explained difference in pressure between the inside and outside of the car. For this reason, the body structure must be increased in rigidity and strength against the pressure load. However, increasing the rigidity and strength of the body structure is contradictory to the weight reduction thereof and hence difficult to realize.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide of a light-weight body structure of a railroad car which has superior pressure resistance.
  • the present invention can also provide a light-weight body structure of a railroad car which has superior vertical bending rigidity.
  • the present invention can further provide a light-weight body structure of a railroad car which has superior compression strength at car ends.
  • the present invention uses a laminate material primarily intended for a body structure of a railroad car which can reduce the number of working steps in manufacture.
  • the present invention can also provide a laminate panel in the curved form which can increase out-of-plane bending rigidity without jointing any member to an outer surface of the panel.
  • the present invention provides a body structure of a railway car as described in claim 1.
  • the present invention also provides a laminate panel for a railway car body as described in claim 8.
  • an outer panel member of the present invention is in the form of a laminate composite built up by incorporating a core, a strength member and a reinforcing member between face plates, the latter two members corresponding to a side post, a rafter or the like of the prior art, arranging connecting members along outer peripheral edges of the assembly, and joining those components by brazing.
  • the outer panel member of the present invention has high out-of-plane bending strength and is sufficiently endurable even upon the above pressure fluctuations acting on it. Accordingly, the present invention can increase pressure resistance of the body structure of the railroad car while traveling through tunnels.
  • outer panel member of the present invention is arranged such that outer and inner surfaces of each of the connecting members along the outer peripheral edges of the outer panel member allow respective surfaces of the face plates on both sides to be flush, body structure surfaces are made easily smooth when the body structure is manufactured by combining and joining the outer panel members together. Accordingly, it is possible to increase the flexibility in a painting work on the outer side of the car body and in design for mounting internal equipment on the inner side of the car body, as well as to easily carry out such works.
  • the adjacent outer panel members are joined to each other via the connecting members making up those outer panel members, a sufficient degree of strength can be ensured at the joint portion. Also, since the outer panel members can be joined together by welding, the joining work is easily performed. Further, since the strength member and the reinforcing member, which have been installed in the more inner side of the car body than a conventional outer panel member in the prior art, are built in the outer panel member, an assembly work of the body structure is simplified. As a result, the number of working steps necessary in manufacturing the body structure of the railroad car is reduced.
  • a joint member is caused to take part in the joint portion between adjacent two panels, whereby the modulus of section of the joint member is increased with additional joining to the panels, making it possible to enhance the strength correspondingly.
  • the laminate panel of the present invention since the panel is built to have curved surfaces by installing the core and the strength member between the face plates, and forming the strength member itself into a curved shape, the strength can be enhanced with no need of installing additional reinforcements for such curved surfaces.

  • Figs. 1 and 2 denoted by reference numeral 10 is a body structure of a railroad car which comprises a pair of side constructions 20, an underframe 30, a roof construction 40, and a pair of end constructions 50.
  • the side construction 20 comprises a wainscot panel 21, a frieze panel 22 and a pier panel 23, each of which is built up by combining and joining outer panel members 60, each being of the laminate structure described later, and called as mentioned above depending on the location of a car body where the panel is used.
  • the wainscot panel 21 and the frieze panel 22 are arranged above and below a window opening of the side construction 20, respectively.
  • the pier panel 23 is installed between the wainscot panel 21 and the frieze panel 22.
  • the side construction 20 is integrally built up over the range from an upper surface of a side sill 31 of the underframe 30 to an end of the roof construction 40, described later, in the circumferential direction of the car body.
  • each outer panel member 60 in the longitudinal direction of the car body corresponds to the length of each of plural sections resulted by dividing the side construction 20 in the longitudinal direction of the car body, and is preferably integer time(s) as much the seat pitch arranged in a passenger car.
  • the side construction 20 is assembled by arranging the individual outer panel members 60 side by side in the longitudinal direction of the car body, joining those outer panel members 60 to each other by welding so as to form respective blocks of the wainscot panel 21 and the frieze panel 22, and joining those blocks to each other through the pier panels 23 by welding.
  • Denoted by reference numeral 31 is a side sill as one component of the underframe 30 and arranged at each end of the underframe 30 in the widthwise (transverse) direction of the car body to thoroughly extend in the longitudinal direction of the car body.
  • 32 is a cross beam installed between the side sills 31, which are arranged parallel to each other, to extend thoroughly in the widthwise direction of the car body.
  • the cross beam 32 has both ends joined to respective inner side faces 31a of the side sills 31.
  • the cross beam 32 is arranged plural in number parallel to each other with a predetermined pitch in the longitudinal direction of the car body.
  • 33 is a floor panel installed over the side sills 32 and formed of a member of the laminate structure described later.
  • the floor panel 33 is arranged plural in number in the longitudinal direction of the car body such that, as shown in Figs. 10 and 11, the floor panels 33 jointed to each other through the cross beams 32 and also jointed to the inner side faces 31a of the side sills 31 in a vertical cross-section taken along the widthwise direction of the car body, thereby building up the underframe 30. Furthermore, every two adjacent floor panels 33 are abutted at their ends against the cross beam 32 therebetween in such a manner that the floor panels 33 are joined to each other and, simultaneously, to the cross beam 32.
  • the roof construction 40 is built up by combining and jointing the outer panel members 60, each being of the laminate structure described later.
  • the roof construction 40 is in the form of an integral block covering an area defined by upper ends of the paired side constructions 20 which serve as opposite side walls of the body structure 10, and upper ends of the paired end constructions 50 which serve as opposite end walls of the body structure as described later.
  • the dimensions of each outer panel member 60 in the longitudinal and widthwise directions of the car body corresponds to the length and width of each of plural sections resulted by dividing the roof construction 40 in the longitudinal and widthwise directions of the car body, respectively. It is to be noted that although the body structure 10 shown in Figs.
  • the roof construction 40 may be built up by arranging a plurality of outer panel members 60 in each of the longitudinal and widthwise directions of the car body when the size of the outer panel member 60 is relatively small.
  • the roof construction 40 is assembled by arranging the required number of outer panel members 60 in both the longitudinal and widthwise directions of the car body, joining those outer panel members 60 to each other by welding to form a block of the roof construction 40, and then welding the block to the side constructions 20 and the end constructions 50.
  • the end construction 50 may be built up by welding conventional outer plate members to skeleton members of the car body like the prior art, but will be explained here in connection with the case of using the outer panel members 60 of the laminate structure described later.
  • Use of the outer plate members 60 is effective particularly when the pressure resistance during the traveling through tunnels is problematic.
  • the pressure resistance of the car body is increased as the car body configuration approaches a sphere.
  • the end constructions 50 are used to connect adjacent cars to each other and hence are positioned perpendicular to the traveling direction of the cars, the displacement at a central portion of the end construction 50 is larger than that at any other portions. Accordingly, characteristics of the outer panel member 60 described later can be best utilized.
  • the end construction 50 serves as each end wall of the body structure 10 and is built up integrally with respective ends of the side constructions 20, the underframe 30 and the roof construction 40.
  • the outer panel members 60 are arranged on the upper, left and right sides of a through passage 51 of the end construction 50.
  • the two side constructions 20, the underframe 30, the roof construction 40 and the two end constructions 50 are separately fabricated and then joined to each other to complete the body structure 10.
  • the side constructions 20 are vertically arranged on upper surfaces of the underframe 30 at both ends in the widthwise direction of the car body, i.e., on the side sills 31, respectively, and the end constructions 50 are vertically arranged on upper surfaces of the underframe 30 at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the car body, respectively.
  • the underframe 30 and the side constructions 20 are joined to each other, while the underframe 30 and the end constructions 50 are joined to each other.
  • the side constructions 20 and the end constructions 50 are also joined to each other.
  • the roof construction 40 is placed on the two side constructions 20 and the two end constructions 50 thus assembled, followed by joining the roof construction 40 to the two side constructions 20 and the two end constructions 50.
  • the body structure 10 is completely built up in this way.
  • the outer panel member 60 comprises face plates 61, 62, a core 63 installed between the face plates 61 and 62, one or more strength members 64, reinforcing members 65, and connecting members 66 arranged around outer peripheral edges of the outer panel member.
  • the strength members 64 are each basically arranged to extend between the connecting members 66 opposite to each other for interconnection of the connecting members. When the two strength members 64 are arranged to cross each other, these strength members 64 are joined to each other at the crossing point.
  • the reinforcing members 65 are installed to connect between the adjacent strength members 64 and between the strength member 64 and the connecting member 66.
  • the strength member 64 is also curved in the direction of thickness of the outer panel member 60 itself.
  • the core 63 making up the curved outer panel member 60 is formed of a honeycomb core built up by jointing a plurality of bent material plates, an L direction 67a of the honeycomb core should be set perpendicular to the strength member 64.
  • the honeycomb core serving as the core 63 should be arranged such that the L direction 67a thereof is perpendicular to a direction in which the outer panel member 60 is curved.
  • the strength member 64 may be arranged parallel to the direction in which the outer panel member 60 is curved.
  • the outer panel member 60 has higher bending and shearing rigidity than a plain flat panel, because the face plates 61, 62 are supported by the core 63 to be spaced from each other by a spacing not less than a predetermined value and the core 63 is disposed in a pattern of the dense pitch.
  • the outer panel member 60 is formed of, for example, a honeycomb panel comprising the face plates 61, 62 made of a light alloy, a honeycomb core, as the core 63, made of a light alloy and having a pattern of hexagonal grids, as well as the strength members 64 and the reinforcing members 65 both brazed to the honeycomb core.
  • the honeycomb core is of the structure having a plurality of cells which extend thoroughly between the two face plates.
  • the core 63 may be built by using thin panels made of a light alloy or resin or foamed panels which are formed in a grid pattern or other desired continuous pattern, and joining such panels to each other by bonding.
  • the bonding of those panels requires use of a thermosetting adhesive or resin in consideration of a temperature rise during a subsequent during step.
  • extending joint flange portions of the connecting members is effective in preventing a thermal effect caused by the welding.
  • different metallic materials may be combined with each other; e.g., a combination of the face plates made of a stainless steel and the core made of a light alloy.
  • the strength member 64 is in itself in the form of a flat plate and arranged with the widthwise direction thereof being perpendicular to the face plates.
  • the longitudinal direction of the strength member 64 is set in match with the circumferential direction of the car body within an area of the relevant outer panel member. Accordingly, even when the outer panel member 60 is not planar but curved in conformity with the configuration of the car body, the strength member 64 can be easily and high-precisely manufactured by cutting a flat plate into a corresponding arcuate shape.
  • the strength member 64 in the form of a flat plate is tightly supported by the core 63, the strength member 64 is prevented from tilting and a sufficient degree of bending rigidity can be ensured.
  • the strength member may be formed of a U-shaped or ⁇ -shaped bar in cross-section. Although such a shaped bar cannot sharply be bent in its entirety, it can be bent without deforming the cross-sectional shape and, therefore, may be used instead. In the case of using such a shaped bar, a reduction in dimensional accuracy due to the bending can be avoided by machining. This allows the above shaped bar to be used as the strength member.
  • the outer panel members 60 function as air-tight walls to maintain the pressure inside the car body constant.
  • Fig. 5 shows an arrangement of the core 63.
  • the core 63 is built up by superposing a plurality of corrugated plates (material plates) one above another in the L direction 67a so as to define hexagonal cells 68, and joining the adjacent material plates to each other with a braze 69 applied to the gap therebetween.
  • the shearing strength of the core 63 in the L direction 67a i.e., a direction in which the material plates are each continuously extended, is about 1.6 times higher than that in the W direction 67b, i.e., a direction perpendicular to the L direction 67a. This difference is attributable to the direction of array of the corrugated plates making up the core 63.
  • the reinforcing member 65 By installing the reinforcing member 65 such that it forms 60° relative to the strength member 64 and 30° relative to the connecting member 66, the reinforcing member 65 intersects the corrugated plates of the core 63 of the outer panel member 60 at their upper cores 63a and lower corners 63b, whereby the corrugated plates of the core 63 can be cut at those corners and hence can be standardized to two types of form.
  • the reinforcing member 65 By installing the reinforcing member 65 such that it forms 30° relative to the strength member 64 and 60° relative to the connecting member 66, the reinforcing member 65 intersects the corrugated plates of the core 63 of the outer panel member 60 at their centers between the upper corners 63a, whereby the corrugated plates of the core 63 can be cut at those centers and hence can be standardized to one type of form.
  • the outer panel member 60 is structured such that the connecting members 66 are provided along the outer peripheral edges of the outer panel member 60 and one member 60 is joined to another through the connecting members 66. Therefore, the joint portions between the other panel members 60 can be prevented from lowering in strength as compared with the case where the face plates 61, 62 are directly joined to each other.
  • the strength member 64 corresponds to a conventional side post, rafter or the like which is installed between the face plates 61 and 62 as a part of the laminate structure. Considering the load due to the difference in pressure between the inside and outside of the car body, particularly, the strength member 64 is required to be arranged in the circumferential direction of the car body structure 10 in a vertical cross-section.
  • the strength members 64 are each arranged to extend over the entire side construction 20 in the vertical direction.
  • the strength member 64 is arranged with the widthwise direction thereof being perpendicular to the face plates.
  • the strength members 64 of the frieze panel 22 have the radius of curvature of their widthwise edges smaller than that of the strength members 64 of the wainscot panel 21 and the pier panel 23.
  • the strength members 64 of the frieze panel 22 have the radius of curvature of their widthwise edges which varies to become smaller as the edges approach the roof construction 40.
  • the laminate panel can be fabricated in such a manner as allowing the widthwise curved edges of the strength member 64 installed in the outer panel member 60 to be formed into a desired shape, e.g., an arcuate curve or a curve including the different radii of curvature.
  • the strength member 64 is arranged to extend through the roof construction 40 in the widthwise direction thereof. Stated otherwise, the strength member 64 is arranged in the roof construction 40 such that it corresponds to a conventional rafter. Looking at the entire body structure 10, as shown in Fig. 7, the strength members 64 of the outer panel members 60 are arranged so as to align with each other in the same cross-section. Note that the face plates on the surfaces of the outer panel members 60 are omitted in Fig. 7 for easier understanding of the arrangement of the outer panel members 60 and the relationship between the respective internal structures.
  • the outer panel members 60 are arranged in such a manner that the strength members 64 of the roof construction 40, the wainscot panel 21, the frieze panel 22 and the pier panel 23 are continuously joined to each other in the circumferential direction of the car body.
  • the strength members 64 serve as a ring-shaped strength member arranged between the side sills at both side of the car body in the widthwise direction and, therefore, can develop a sufficient degree of strength against pressure fluctuations acting on the body structure 10.
  • the reinforcing members 65 in such a manner as to connect between the strength member 64 and the connecting member 66 or between the adjacent strength members 64, the load acting on a weld line 27 corresponding to the joint portion between the adjacent outer panel member 60 can be dispersed to relieve concentration of stresses. More specifically, with the strength members 64 built in the outer panel member 60, the connecting members 66 and the strength members 64 function to transmit various forces in the outer panel member 60. This means a high possibility that stresses may concentrate on the joint portions between the strength members 64 and the connecting members 66.
  • the reinforcing members 65 provided as mentioned above can transmit the forces in a dispersed way and hence prevent concentration of stresses. This result in turn leads to a reduction in weight due to the reduced thickness of the connecting members 66 or an improvement in the strength of the entire body structure 10.
  • One face plate 61 is placed on a lower die having its support surface formed into a required curved surface, and the core (material plates) 63, the strength members 64 and the reinforcing members 65, which have been bent beforehand, are placed on the face plate 61. Then, these components are mutually positioned in place. At this time, since the strength members 64 and the reinforcing members 65 have their edges curved in conformity with the required curved surface, they can precisely positioned onto the lower die. After that, the other face plate 62 and an upper die are placed thereon in this order.
  • brazers for use in the brazing are clad on inner surface of the face plates 61, 62 and respective surfaces of the core 63. If the face plates 61, 62 are bent into the required curved surface in advance, working efficiency is improved.
  • an inner surface 10a of the car body structure 10 can be made smooth. Therefore, the degree of freedom in arrangement or mount positions of fixtures for internal equipment, which has been restricted by side posts, rafters or the like in the prior art, can be enlarged. This enables internal equipment fixtures or internal equipment themselves and internal finish structures to be standardized.
  • the side construction 20 is subjected to the dead load of the base structure 10 itself, the vertical load caused by various units installed on the underside of the underframe 30, passengers and so forth and transmitted from the underframe 30, as well as the load due to fluctuations in pressures inside and outside the car body. Because of being primarily built up by the outer panel members 60, the side construction 20 has a sufficient degree of out-of-plane bending rigidity and sharing ridigity against the above loads.
  • the outer panel member 60 since the face plates are joined to each other by the core 63 in such a manner as not to deviate from each other, the outer panel member 60 has high out-of-plane bending ridigity so that the base structure 10 can exhibit a sufficient degree of ridigity. Also, since the strength members 64 are built in the outer panel member 60, the outer panel member 60 has a higher degree of out-of-plane strength than an ordinary laminate panel in combination of only face plates and a core, which degree is comparable to or greater than that of such an ordinary laminate panel including skeleton members attached to the panel surface.
  • the strength members 64 of the outer panel member 60 are each supported by the core on both sides and, therefore, so hard to buckle even with a relatively thin thickness as to exhibit the strength comparable to that of a thick shaped bar attached to the laminate panel surface. Accordingly, higher ridigity could be obtained than the case where a shaped bar having the same cross-sectional area as the strength member 64 is joined to the laminate panel. As mentioned above, the strength member 64 is also effective in increasing the ridigity even when the outer panel member 60 is formed to have a curved surface. Thus, the side construction 20 is less likely to deform and sufficiently endurable against the aforesaid loads.
  • the strength members 64 and the reinforcing members 65 are arranged in the surroundings of a window where the strength is required to be increased, there can be obtained the car body structure 10 in which stresses are less concentrated locally.
  • the body structure 10 is designed with a view of standardization such that those one of the outer panel members making up the body structure 20 which make up the wainscot panel 21, the frieze panel 22, the pier panel 23 and the roof construction 40, each have the strength members 64 and the reinforcing members 65 in the same arrangement with respect to the longitudinal direction of the car body, it is possible to reduce the production cost of the outer panel members 60.
  • the wainscot panel 21 and the frieze panel 22 may comprise a single type of outer panel members if dimensions are set in common to both the panels.
  • Fig. 7 shows an arrangement of the roof construction 40, the wainscot panel 21, the frieze panel 22, the pier panel 23, and the side sill 31 of the underframe.
  • the outer panel members 60 respectively making up the roof construction 40, the wainscot panel 21, the frieze panel 22, and the pier panel 23 are arranged in a zigzag pattern along the longitudinal direction of the car body so that the weld lines 27 are not concentrated in the widthwise or vertical direction of the car body. This is because mechanical properties of the welded portion are inferior to those of a mother material of the connecting member 66.

  • the weld line 27 joining the adjacent outer panel members 60 of the wainscot panel 21 is arranged to align with one strength member of the pier panel 23 in the widthwise direction thereof, e.g., the right-hand strength member when viewed from front, while the weld line 27 joining the adjacent outer panel members 60 of the frieze panel 22 is arranged to align with the other strength member of the pier panel 23 in the widthwise direction thereof, e.g., the left-hand strength member when viewed from front.
  • the weld lines 27 joining between the adjacent outer panel member 60 respectively making up the wainscot panel 21 and the frieze panel 22 are deviated from each other by a distance corresponding to the width of the pier panel 23.

  • the number of the strength members 64 used in the outer panel member 60 can be reduced in comparison with the arrangement shown in Fig. 7. This in turn leads to a further reduction in weight of the outer panel member.
  • the outer panel members 60 are less likely to cause distortions on the surfaces of the car body due to the vertical load and residual stresses produced upon the welding and hence effective in improving an anesthetic appearance, when used to build up the side construction 20 as stated before. Also, by incorporating the strength member and the reinforcing members, which are formed in match with the car body configuration, in the outer panel member 60, the car body structure can be obtained which is more free from distortions on the surfaces of the car body than the car body structure obtained by bending outer panel members in the form of a flat plate. As a result, the work for removing distortions on the surfaces of the car body can be dispensed with. It is further possible to simplify the work for smoothing the surface of the side construction 20, which has conventionally been performed by using a plaster's putty after completion of the body structure.

More specifically, lower flanges of the adjacent connecting members 66 of the outer panel members 60 are abutted against opposite side faces of a vertical portion of the cross beam 32 and joined thereto by continuous or intermittent welding. Upper flanges of the adjacent connecting members 66 of the outer panel members 60 are arranged on an end face of the vertical portion of the cross beam 32 while leaving a root gap therebetween, so that both the upper flanges and a distal end of the cross beam are welded together.

  • the outer panel members 60 are jointed to the side sill 31 by welding their connecting members 66 to the inner side face 31a of the side sill 31 in a vertical cross-section taken along the widthwise direction of the car body.
  • the cross beam 32 is joined at the distal end of its vertical portion to the adjacent outer panel members 60 in a continuous manner, the modulus of section comparable to that obtainable with a conventional I- or U-shaped cross beam can be achieved with no need of forming an upper flat portion in the cross beam 32.
  • the above-mentioned joining structure between the adjacent outer panel members via the cross beam 32 can also be employed in other portions of the body structure 10. Specifically, it is conceivable to utilize the projecting portion of the cross beam 32 from the outer panel members 60 for attachment of units and equipment.
  • the above joining structure is also applicable to the case where the outer panel members of the present invention are employed in general structures such as wall materials of buildings, for example.
  • the side window 24 is formed in a rectangular shape for the purpose of ensuring the field of view through the side window 24, and notches 25 for relieving local stresses are provided in peripheral edges the side window near joint portions between the pier panel 23 and the frieze panel 22 as well as the wainscot panel 21 of the side construction 20.
  • the reinforcing members 65 and the strength members 64 are provided in those outer panel members 60 of the pier panel 23, the frieze panel 22 and the wainscot panel 21 which are adjacent to the joint lines between those panels. With such an arrangement, stresses are concentrated on a portion 26 of the notch 25 mostly remote from the side window 24. Thus, such concentrated stresses are borne by the mother material of the connecting member 66. In need of enhancing the strength, it is possible to reinforce the connecting member 66 by an additional member or increase the thickness of the connecting member 66 itself at the portion 26.
  • the structure of the side window 24 is applicable to a serial window comprising a side windowpane 24' extended through the pier panel 23 or an ordinary sole window by changing the thickness of the pier panel 23 and the configuration of the connecting members 66 of the pier panel 22, the frieze panel 22 and the wainscot panel 21.
  • a serial window comprising a side windowpane 24' extended through the pier panel 23 or an ordinary sole window by changing the thickness of the pier panel 23 and the configuration of the connecting members 66 of the pier panel 22, the frieze panel 22 and the wainscot panel 21.
  • the fastening member 66b may be of, for example, a bolt or a rivet.

  • Fig. 15 shows a state that the side windowpane is not fitted
  • Fig. 17 shows a state that the side windowpane is fitted.
  • the connecting members 66 defining the rectangular circumference of the side window 24 are each integrally formed with a flange for holding the side windowpane 24', and the side windowpane 24' is fastened to the flange by a fastening member 66b via a fastening plate member 66a.
  • the connecting members 66 installed on both lateral sides of the pier panel 23 are also integrally formed with flanges for holding the side windowpane 24', so that the side windowpane 24' is set and fastened by the fastening plate members and the fastening members of those connecting members as well. Removal of a flange 66c of the connecting member 66 on the inner side of the car body increases the degree of freedom in configuration of internal equipment mounted to an opening of the side window 24. It is said that the car body structure 10 adopting the structure of an ordinary sole window is superior in strength to that adopting the foregoing structure of a serial window, because the frieze panel 22 and the wainscot panel 21 have the same thickness as the pier panel 23 in the former.

  • the strength members 64 and the reinforcing members 65 can be dispensed with by arranging of the core 63 of the outer panel member 60 such that thin plates as materials of the core 63 extend vertically, horizontally or obliquely in match with the direction of the primary load.
  • the thin plates as materials of the core 63 are preferably arranged to extend in the longitudinal direction of the car body (or in the horizontal direction in Fig. 18) from the standpoint of manufacturer. This is because the thin plates as materials of the core 63 become rectangular in shape and hence can easily be machined with high accuracy. If the thin plates as materials of the core 63 are arranged to extend in the circumferential direction of the car body (or in the vertical direction in Fig. 18), they become sectorial in shape and hence require complex machining to ensure plane accuracy at the finish.
  • a pier panel 23a of Fig. 18 is built up by installing the reinforcing members 65 in a rhombic pattern inside the outer panel member 60.
  • the reinforcing members 65 serve to increase the shearing ridigity of the pier panel 23a and also transmit the load to near the centers of the horizontal connecting members 66, particularly, thereby averaging stresses caused along the weld lines at the joint portions.

  • the structure of still other pier panels 23e, 23f will be described with reference to Figs. 22 and 23.
  • the pier panel 23e is built up by diagonally installing the reinforcing members 65 so as to connect the joint points between the horizontal and vertical connecting members 66.
