Abstract
The model is based on an analysis of the individual components inside several types of draft gears. The transition from kinetic to static friction during the impact is included. Comparisons with drop-hammer tests and full-scale impacts show good agreement with the experimental forces and deflections. In particular two very important phenomena are correctly simulated: the rise in force just before maximum travel, and the stick-slip-grab phenomenon during impact.
