The above achievements are based on the static or dynamic performance characteristics of the stiffness of the fastening elastic pad, and there is no relevant statement on how to evaluate the service life of the rail transit fastening system or elastic pad. Given the sensitive characteristics of the service stiffness of the elastic pad of the fastener, and the fact that the fatigue life of the elastic pad of the fastener restricts the service life of the fastener system, this paper takes the compression type vibration reducing fastener extracted from the operating lines of Nanjing Metro Company as the research object. Statistical methods are used to test and analyze the service time and stiffness of the fastener system and the rail elastic pad, and obtain the service stiffness and dynamic static ratio curves of the fastener system and the rail elastic pad; With the help of the Arrhenius life stress accelerated aging model, a series of stiffness tests were conducted on the under rail elastic pad of the new fastener, including room temperature fatigue and thermal accelerated fatigue aging. By analyzing the consistency between the thermal accelerated fatigue aging stiffness curve of the new under rail elastic pad and the stiffness curve trend of the service sampled under rail elastic pad, a life prediction model for the stiffness change rate and cycle number of the under rail elastic pad was proposed. The research conclusion can provide theoretical reference for the standardized design, management and maintenance of subway fasteners.
Figure 7The curve shows the variation of the dynamic to static stiffness ratio of the elastic pad under the rail with the use time. It can be seen that the dynamic to static stiffness ratio changes significantly in the first 4 years of use, and the stiffness curve rises. To some extent, this indicates that the design of the elastic pad for fasteners needs to consider the influence of wheel rail dynamic loads on the dynamic performance of rubber elastic components. With the increasing frequency of domestic subway departures and the stimulating effect of wheel rail wear, the axle load and high-frequency impact load on the fasteners continue to increase. It is required that the design of vibration reducing fasteners pay attention to the dynamic stiffness characteristics of the elastic pad, which are reflected in the range of fastener frequency dependent stiffness, temperature dependent stiffness, and dynamic static stiffness ratio values.

Arrhenius Life Stress Model as a Prediction Method for Thermal Accelerated Aging[29-31]It has been widely adopted. In order to capture the accelerated degradation of rubber or polymer composites caused by non thermal stresses (including fatigue, impact, and high-frequency excitation), inverse power mathematical models are widely used. When temperature and non thermal stress are used as independent variables in accelerated life tests, the Arrhenius life stress model and inverse power model are uncoupled and can independently explain the effects of temperature and non thermal stress, known as the temperature non thermal relationship. Its mathematical equation is expressed as
L(V,T)=Zexp(−EA/ωBT)(βVn)−1 |

Considering that the train operates for 360 days throughout the year, the corresponding number of cycles is 1.24 × 107In summary, the linear behavior of the static stiffness of the elastic pad under the rail can be monitored until its stiffness change rate reaches 150%. If the rate of change converges to any value below 150%, it is recommended to have a service life of 11.6 years or a corresponding number of cycles of 1.24 × 107In addition, obtaining appropriate acceleration coefficients through thermal accelerated fatigue aging tests provides a life prediction cycle for new fasteners before installation.
(4) A life prediction model for the stiffness change rate and service time of the under rail elastic pad has been proposed, which can evaluate its service life and replacement cycle through the service time and number of driving cycles of the under rail elastic pad. That is to say, before the installation of the track fastening system, the replacement cycle of the new rail elastic pad can be predicted by the acceleration factor.
