Body structure (1) for railway vehicles comprising a load bearing body-work defining the platform (2), the body sides (3) and the roof (4) of the body, constituted by an annular series of hollow structural panels (11, 12, 13), substantially continuous and having a length substantially corresponding to that of the body. Each structural panel (11, 12, 13) is formed by an inner wall (14) and by an outer wall (15) connected therebetween by intermediate baffles (17) having a substantially corrugated disposition with parallel generating lines (16). The longitudinal edges of each structural panel (11, 12, 13) are rigidly connected to the corresponding longitudinal edges of the adjacent panels by continuous welding.
Body structure for railway vehicles, comprising a load bearing body-work defining a platform, body sides and a roof of the body, each constituted by hollow structural panels extending longitudinally and substantially continuously over the entire length of the body, each of said panels having respective longitudinal edges and being solely formed by an inner wall, an outer wall and intermediate longitudinal baffles, said baffles having a substantially corrugated disposition with generating lines parallel to one another, said baffles connecting said inner and outer walls to each other, the longitudinal edges of each structural panel being rigidly connected to the corresponding longitudinal edges of the adjacent structural panels so as to define a tubular body, said body structure further comprising inner transverse structural member connected to the body for stabilising said tubular body.
