Summary

Reliable stress prediction is very important in the design of high speed trains to ensure safety. It is necessary to study the predicted stresses in the regions of welding or stress concentration. Therefore, a recommendation from the International Institute of Welding (IIW) [1] was used and modified to reliably predict stresses in the body of the high speed train. The results obtained can be summarized as follows:

The hot spot stresses based on the interpolation of the von Mises stresses can be obviously decreased by comparison with the computational results from a finite element analysis and the results become much closer to the experimental values.
The von Mises stress of the investigated train window with a fine mesh is higher than the one with a coarse mesh for all the cases studied. Meanwhile, the stress distributions and the locations of the maximum stresses in the window with different mesh are similar.
The difference between the two results with different mesh sizes becomes more obvious when the stress gradient at the hot points becomes higher.
