The article introduces an innovative method for modeling elastomer buffers using a rheological structure. This approach entails a detailed mathematical description of buffer properties, seamlessly integrated into the ADAMS/Rail computer code for simulating impacts between two wagons. The simulation within ADAMS/Rail provides insights into the dynamic behavior of elastomer buffers during wagon impacts, considering forces, deformations, and overall responses. Serving as a valuable optimization tool for railway system design, this methodology contributes to improved safety and efficiency. The study’s comprehensive yet concise insights bridge the gap between theoretical modeling and practical application, enhancing our understanding of elastomer buffer dynamics and their pivotal role in railway operations.
