The CARDS (Cask Rail Car Dynamic Simulator) model was expanded to simulate the cask rail car system used in Tests 10 and 11 of the series of rail car coupling tests conducted at the Savannah River Laboratories (SRL) in July and August of 1978. An assessment of how well CARDS simulates the behavior of this cask rail car system was made by comparing calculated and experimental values of four response variables. The processing and interpretation of the data from Tests 10, 11, 13, 16, 17 and 18 of the SRL series has been completed.
