CENG Jing, GUAN Qing-hua

Abstract: In order to understand the mechanism and the main factors that cause vehicle climb derailment, the forces exerted on wheelset in 3D space were analyzed, the general ratio formulae of wheel/rail lateral force to vertical force were derived.It was assumed that wheelset reached the critical state of derailment when flange contact occurred, full friction sliding between wheel and rail appeared, 2D evaluation derailment criterion of wheelset without considering wheelset yaw angle was derived, and 3D criterion with taking into account wheelset yaw angle and the effect of wheel/rail creepages was given.The concept of wheelset derailment coefficient was defined, and the combination of wheelset derailment coefficient and wheel load reduction rate was utilized to evaluate derailment.Simulation result shows that 2D criterion is more conservative for derailment evaluation compared with 3D criterion; smaller and negative yaw angles can mitigate derailment possibility, the critical derailment curve of 3D criterion tends to the situation of 2D criterion at larger wheelset yaw angles; the reduction of friction coefficient and the increase of flange angle are advantageous for preventing derailment.More>

XIAO Xin-biao, JIN Xue-song, WEN Ze-feng

Abstract: a vehicle-track coupling dynamics model was established based on Timoshenko beam model, vehicle was modeled as a 35 DOF multi-body system, track was modeled as a 3-layer discrete elastic support model, and the motion properties of vehicle/track coupling system were solved by using new-explicit-integration method.The effect of rail vertical, torsional and lateral motions on wheel/rail rolling contact geometry relationship was taken into account, wheel/rail normal forces were calculated by using Hertzian contact theory, and wheel/rail creep forces in rolling contact were computed by using Shen nonlinear creep theory.The support hard spots of sleepers with non-uniform support heights along track were simulated, and the effect of their number and heights on the model was analyzed by using moving rail-supported model.Numerical simulation result indicates that the number of hard spots greatly affects the dynamic responses of track system rather than vehicle system, especially railway sleeper.As the height is 1.0 mm, the maximum rail/sleeper force and tension are almost 2 and 10 times larger than normal values respectively.However, the dynamic responses of vehicle-track coupling system aren't sensitive to the number of hard spots.More>
