Coupling effects of strain rate and fatigue damage on wheel-rail contact behaviour: a dynamic finite element simulation

Xiongfei Zhou et al.

Summary: In this study, a comprehensive 3-D explicit finite element model was established to investigate the frictional wheel-rail rolling contact responses. The strain rate effect and initial fatigue damage of wheel/rail materials were considered, and four friction exploitation levels were included to examine the dynamic contact responses.

Research on the evolution of the wheel polygon based on the iterative model of long-term wear on both sides of the wheelset

Guofang Li et al.

Summary: This study proposes a long-term prediction model for wheel circumferential wear on both sides of the wheelset to explore the evolution mechanism of wheel polygonisation. By combining the coupled vehicle/track dynamic model and the wheel circumferential wear model, the results show that the same order of polygonal wheels on both sides is the main reason for their evolution in integer multiples. When the circumferences of the wheels on both sides are asymmetric, the interaction between the wheels gradually leads to mixed polygonal circumferences related to the initial orders.

A mathematically-based study of the random wheel-rail contact irregularity by wheel out-of-roundness

Lin Jing et al.

Summary: This study proposes an innovative computational method to address several issues in wheel-rail finite element analysis, including challenges in geometry modelling, potential computation termination, and the trade-off between computational efficiency and accuracy. The method transforms the geometric irregularities induced by wheel out-of-roundness into randomly irregular displacement excitation of the wheel-rail contact, improving the applicability of the model.

Effect of gauge corner lubrication on wheel/rail non-Hertzian contact and rail surface damage on the curves

Yunfan Yang et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the influence of rail gauge corner lubrication (RGCL) on wheel/rail non-Hertzian contact and rail surface rolling contact fatigue (RCF) on curves through numerical analysis. The results show that RGCL can significantly affect wheel/rail contact and reduce rail surface RCF on tight curves through low-friction interactions between the wheel and the rail.

The effect of 3D wear state of wheel polygon on wheel-rail system dynamics

Dabin Cui et al.

Summary: Wheel wear is a common phenomenon during wheel-rail rolling contact, with non-uniform wear in lateral and circumferential directions. These two forms of wear are coupled on wheels, affecting the dynamic behaviors of the wheel-rail system. The contact mechanical properties of wheel-rail are greatly affected by the 3D wheel profile, leading to increased vibrational acceleration and wear issues.

DYNAMIC FINITE ELEMENT SIMULATION OF WHEEL-RAIL CONTACT RESPONSE FOR THE CURVED TRACK CASE

Xiongfei Zhou et al.

Summary: This study investigates the dynamic wheel-rail contact behavior on curved tracks using a finite element model. The results show that the curve radius and axle load have significant effects on contact force, pressure, stress, and strain. The dynamic response on curved tracks is significantly enhanced compared to straight tracks, and the strain rate effect has a minor influence on certain parameters.

Wheel wear and rolling contact fatigue evolution under interaction of abrasive block and wheel-rail contact: results from field test

Peng Wang et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of using abrasive blocks on wheel wear and rolling contact fatigue (RCF) in an urban express train. The results demonstrate that low-pressure and intermittent modes of the abrasive block effectively mitigate polygonal wear and hollow wear in the wheel, reduce abrasive block wear, and remove RCF cracks.

Dynamic finite element simulation of wheel-rail contact response for the straight track case

Xiongfei Zhou et al.

Summary: As the train speed increases, the inertia effect and strain-rate effect have a more serious impact on the dynamic wheel-rail contact behavior. The strain rate hardening effect increases the maximum contact pressure and stress, and inhibits the plastic deformation of the wheel-rail system. Results indicate that the coupled train speed with strain rate significantly influences dynamic contact responses.

Effect of shear stress on adhesive contact with a generalized Maugis-Dugdale cohesive zone model

Bo Peng et al.

Summary: The study highlights the varying impact of interfacial shear stress on adhesion under different contact conditions, with the most significant effect seen when the model approaches the JKR limit and diminishing in the transitional regime to become negligible in the DMT limit. This behavior contrasts with Johnson's phenomenological solution and underscores the importance of considering the reversible interface slip parameter in adhesive contact mechanics.

Impact vibration behavior of railway vehicles: a state-of-the-art overview

Lin Jing et al.

Summary: This paper provides a comprehensive overview of recent studies on the impact vibration behavior of railway vehicles, categorizing sources of impact excitations, introducing research approaches of vehicle impact vibration, and examining impact vibration response characteristics. The results show that excessive vibrations of railway vehicles induced by dynamic impact loadings have a significant impact on train operating safety and stability, which are difficult to eliminate due to the complexity and diversity of railway lines and service environment.
