Abstract (en)

A train (1) is equipped with a plurality of carriages (2) and interfaces (8) between the carriages (2), each interface (8) having plastically deformable portions (23,30) that plastically deform when a longitudinal compression load exceeds a preset threshold (B) and, during plastic deformation, provide resistance to longitudinal compression, the mean progression of which includes at least an initial stage where it grows as the longitudinal crushing increases; preferably, this mean progression increases linearly up to a maximum longitudinal crushing (D) of the plastically deformable portions (23,30).
