The main issue is to raise passenger train speed and develop high-speed train operation technology. It involves such fields as locomotive and cars, signaling and communication, traffic organization, railway construction etc., it is a huge and complicated system engineering. In the system, railway track, bridge and tunnel are the running foundation of rapid and high-speed train, their quality directly affect the train speed and running quality, such as running stability, comfort and safety. So it is necessary to study the influence of track irregularity on train running quality and take effective measure to control track irregularity during the development of high-speed passenger train operation technology, for ensuring train running safety, extending the service-life of track and vehicle parts and improving train running stability and comfort. In view of the above-mentioned facts, the influence on running safety and stability of quasi & high-speed passenger car under track irregularity excitation is the topic of the thesis. Taking vehicle-track or vehicle-track-bridge vertical and lateral coupling system dynamic model as analytical method, the thesis systematically discusses dynamic behavior of quasi & high-speed vehicles excited by track irregularities of the ballast track, the influence on dynamic response of rail/wheel system excited by rail surface vertical short-wave roughness, serviceability of running vehicles on bridge under excitation of special track irregularities caused by bridge arch, pier uneven settlement and subsidence error between abutment and subgrade. Track irregularities are actually complicated random processes, consisting of approximately stationary ergodic processes of general track irregularities in entire length and non-stationary processes reflecting geome展开更多

In the calculation of rail corrugation we consider the combination of Kalkers rolling contact theory modified, a model of material loss on rail running surface, and a dynamics model of railway vehicle coupled with a curved track. In the establishment of the dynamic model, for simplicity, one fourth of the freight car without lateral motions, namely a wheelset and the equivalent one fourth freight car body above it, is considered. The Euler beam is used to model the rails and the track structure under the rails is replaced with equivalent springs, dampers and mass bodies. The numerical results show the great influence of the rail corrugation on the vibration of the parts of the vehicle and the track, and the some characters of rail corrugation in development.展开更多

A numerical methodology is introduced to simulate the wheel wear evolution of heavy haul freight car. The methodology includes the spatial coupling dynamics of vehicle and track, the three-dimensional rolling contact analysis of wheel-rail, the Specht's material wear model, and the strategy for reproducing the actual operation conditions of railway. The freight vehicle is treated as a full 3D rigid multi-body model. Every component is built detailedly and various contact interactions between parts are accurately simulated, taking into account the real clearances. The wheel-rail rolling contact calculation is carried out based on Hertz's theory and Kalker's FASTSIM algorithm. The track model is built based on field measurements. The material loss due to wear is evaluated according to the Specht's model in which the wear coefficient varies with the wear intensity. In order to exactly reproduce the actual operating conditions of railway,dynamic simulations are performed separately for all possible track conditions and running velocities in each iterative step.Dimensionless weight coefficients are introduced that determine the ratios of different cases and are obtained through site survey. For the wheel profile updating, an adaptive step strategy based on the wear depth is introduced, which can effectively improve the reliability and stability of numerical calculation. At last, the wear evolution laws are studied by the numerical model for different wheels of heavy haul freight vehicle running in curves. The results show that the wear of the front wheelset is more serious than that of the rear wheelset for one bogie, and the difference is more obvious for the outer wheels. The wear of the outer wheels is severer than that of the inner wheels. The wear of outer wheels mainly distributes near the flange and the root; while the wear of inner wheels mainly distributes around the nominal rolling circle.
