The acceleration coefficient is a dimensionless measure of the acceleration. The value of 0.8 given here is the standard value for deceleration used for CTU, EN, VDI.

Small container ship which generally travels between Continental Europe and the islands or in the coastal area using various ports.

With the FEM (Finite Element Method), physical processes can be simulated such as force effects on deformable solid bodies. The solid bodies in any form are split into several body parts – the "finite elements" - whose physical behaviour can be calculated based on its geometry with known initial functions.

If loads are side by side

Specifically "Friction force". This is related to the fliding friction coefficient and the weight of the load.

Every vehicle has a defined upper limit for the weight of the load being transported. This information is provided by the vehicle manufacturer.

The securing force for the end wall is 40% of the vehicle's load capacity for most vehicles.

The shifting force is dependent on the weight being shifted and the acceleration acting on this weight.

The sliding friction coefficient (or friction coefficient) is a measurement (between 0 and 1) of the friction forcew in relation to the contact pressure between two bodies, between load and loading surface. The values are shown in the following table:
