Container transportation is currently the most promising type of combined transportation. This is justified by the mobility of containers, which allow the possibility of their transporting by almost all modes of transport. A significant share of container transportation falls on railway transport. Flat wagons are most often used for it. In connection with the intensification of container transportation by railway transport, open wagons have begun to be used for their transportation. To ensure the safety of container transportation in open wagons, it is important to study their loads. In this regard, the presented article highlights the features of the research conducted to determine the dynamic loading and strength of a container when transported on an open wagon. To determine the dynamic load acting on the container, mathematical modelling was performed. For this purpose, a mathematical model was formed. It describes the longitudinal loading of the container during transportation on an open wagon. The determined dynamic load value was considered when calculating the strength of the container. Two schemes of its loads were considered: the absence of pressure of the transported cargo on the end wall, as well as its presence. The strength calculation was performed using the finite element method, which is implemented in the SolidWorks simulation software. The calculation results showed that the strength of the container is not observed under the considered loading modes. The conducted studies will be useful developments in creating new technologies for container transportation and they will contribute to increasing the efficiency of container transportation operations.
