“…The frequency domain method (the complex eigenvalue analysis) and the time domain method (the transient dynamic analysis) are used to analyze the friction-induced vibration. The theoretical principles on which these two methods are based are briefly introduced as follows (Cui et al, 2016(Cui et al, , 2020. The equation of motion of friction-induced vibration of the wheel-track system is…”

Rail corrugation is very serious in Cologne egg fastener track; effective control measures are still lacking. The cause of the corrugation wear on a curved metro track is analyzed based on the friction-induced vibration theory. A finite element model is established to study the frequency domain and time domain features of the friction-induced oscillation of this system. The influences of the fastener spacing and the fastener support length on the corrugation wear are investigated to develop countermeasures. The simulation results show that the friction-induced vibration of the wheel-track system is the wavelength-fixed mechanism of the corrugation wear of rail of the curved Cologne egg fastener track. There are two reasons why the low rail corrugation wear is more serious. The contact resultant force between the low rail and the wheel is obviously bigger than that between the wheel and the high rail, resulting in a higher wear rate of the low rail. The contact force fluctuation of the low rail caused by the friction-induced vibration is more severe, resulting in a higher corrugation wear evolution speed on the low rail. The friction-induced oscillation cannot be eliminated only by adjusting the fastener support length and spacing. However, the long-wavelength corrugation wear instead of the more harmful short-wavelength corrugation wear can be produced by adjusting the fastener support length and the fastener spacing to alleviate the influence of corrugation wear on the vehicle-track system.

“…According to literature reviews and on-site investigations, it is found that the corrugation diseases on high-speed railways generally occur on large slope sections. The wavelength of rail corrugation is generally 100–300 mm and the most common is between 130 and 190 mm; the wave depth of rail corrugation is generally below 0.1 mm ( 4 – 7 ). However, with the complexity of the train operation, the manifestations of rail corrugation become more and more complex.…”

Focusing on the mechanism of the abnormal phenomenon of rail corrugation on the low rail of small-radius curve section of Guangzhou–Zhuhai intercity railway, the distribution regularities and the track irregularities are studied through the overall and local field surveys. Then, the dynamic model of vehicle-track system on the section is established to explore the wheel-rail dynamic characteristics. Next, the relevant finite element model of the wheel-rail system and the wear model of rail corrugation are established. The friction self-excited vibration analysis and feedback vibration analysis are carried out to investigate the dynamic causes of such abnormal rail corrugation. Field survey proposes that the dominant wavelength of the abnormal rail corrugation is 200–300 mm and the sub-wavelength is 70–100 mm. Analyses show that the friction self-excited vibration of the multi-wheelset-track system caused by the saturated creep force on the guide wheelset in the small-radius section may induce the rail corrugations with these two wavelengths. The possibility of inducing the rail corrugation with 200–300 mm wavelength is greater. On the other hand, the feedback vibration of corrugated wear will aggravate the development of the two corrugated wears. Overall, the generation and development of the abnormal rail corrugations are affected by the self-excited vibration of the wheel-rail system and the feedback vibration of track irregularity.

“…The wheelset-track system model is shown in Figure 5. The main parameters and the material properties 18,27,28 of this model are shown in Tables 1 and 2, respectively. According to the modal analysis results of the track model, it is found that the lateral pinned-pinned resonance frequency is about 521 Hz and the vertical pinned-pinned resonance frequency is about 1010 Hz, which are close to the field measurement.…”

This paper studies the effect of wheel polygonalization and material properties on the fatigue failure of fastener clips in high-speed railway lines and puts forward the corresponding inhibition measures. Vibration frequencies excited by 24th-order wheel out-of-roundness (OOR) were analysed by on-site tests of the axle box vertical vibration acceleration. A finite element modelling method of polygon-shaped wheels was proposed, which was verified by comparing the field measurement with the dynamic simulation. The dynamic response of the fastener clip was simulated by using a rigid–flexible coupled model of the wheelset-track system. The effect of amplitudes as well as typical wavelengths of wheel OOR on the fracture of the clip was analysed based on the Miner fatigue damage accumulation ruler. The results show that when the wheelset ran at 237 km/h on the track, the 24th-order wheel OOR had no obvious effect on the Mises equivalent stress of the clip. When the amplitude of the 24th-order wheel OOR reached 0.225 mm and above, excited vibrations of about 1172 Hz were transmitted from the wheelset-rail system to the fastener systems, thus reducing the safe operating life of the clips. This phenomenon can be inhibited by setting a reasonable amplitude threshold for wheel re-profiling. Wheel eccentric wear (first-order OOR) and 12th-order OOR had lesser effects on the fatigue failure of the clip. The decrease of Poisson’s ratio or the increase of Young’s modulus of the material could cause the maximum Mises equivalent stress at the clip to increase, which might induce cracks, thus leading to the fracture of the clip. Therefore, during the production process, the Poisson’s ratio and Young’s modulus of fastener clips should be strictly controlled to ensure that they are within the permitted range.
