A model to simulate the dynamic behavior of shipping packages (casks) and their rail car transporters during normal transport conditions was developed. This model, CARDS (Cask-Rail Car Dynamic Simulator), was used to simulate the cask-rail car systems in the series of rail car coupling tests conducted at the Savannah River Laboratories in 1978. On the basis of good agreement between calculated and measured results for these tests, it was concluded that the model has been validated as an acceptable tool for the simulation of similar systems. A companion model, CARRS (Cask-Rail Car Response Spectrum Generator), consisting of single-degree-of-freedom representations of the equations of motion in CARDS, was developed to generate frequency response spectra.
