Th e comparative analysis of methods for assessing the fatigue strength of the rail vehicle used in the Ukraine and the EU is described in this article. As a result of the comparison, the following main diff erences of the indicated methods are distinguished: 1. In Ukraine, fatigue strength assessment is carried out using the fatigue strength factor, which should not exceed the normative value. In the countries of the European Union, the fatigue strength is evaluated according to the permissible stresses, and the permissible stresses are determined using stress strain diagrams. 2. According to the requirements of the Norms in Ukraine for determining the fatigue strength factor, the endurance limits of standard samples in a symmetrical loading cycle are used. Th e stress limit diagrams, which are used in European norms, are constructed for characteristic structural elements taking into account the asymmetry of the stress cycle coeffi cients. Analytic studies and analysis of experimental data carried out by the author have made it possible to develop a number of recommendations aimed at increasing the reliability of the results of estimating the fatigue strength of load-bearing structures of selfpropelled rolling stock and to make proposals for harmonizing the relevant regulatory documents in Ukraine and the EU countries.
