Equations of motion were derived for equivalent single degree-of-freedom representations of the relative vertical and horizontal motion between a radioactive material shipping package and its rail car (support). These equations will be used to construct CARRS (Cask Rail Car Response Spectra Generator), a model to generate frequency response spectra using calculated results obtained from the CARDS (Cask Rail Car Dynamic Simulator) mode. Results from CARDS are used to show that the rotational components of motion cannot be neglected when generating experimentally-based response spectra. Parameter data on the railway equipment used in the tests conducted at the Savannah River laboratories in July and August of 1978 have been collected to establish the base case for CARDS model validation.
