The vibration data of the gearbox on a high-speed train was measured, and the vibration characteristics were analyzed in this paper. The dynamic stress of the gearbox under the internal and external excitation was examined by a railway vehicle dynamic model with a flexible gearbox and a flexible wheelset. The ideal 20th polygonal wear was considered, and dynamic stresses of the gearbox under different polygonal wear amplitudes were calculated. The gear transmission model was established to study the dynamic stress of the gearbox under the influence of the time-varying stiffness of the gear meshing. Based on the rigid–flexible coupling model, and considering the influence of wheel polygonization, gear meshing time-varying stiffness, and wheelset elastic deformation, the dynamic stress of the gearbox was investigated with consideration of the measured polygonal wear and measured rail excitation. The results show that the dynamic stress of the gearbox is dominated by the wheel polygonization. Moreover, not only the wheel polygonization excites the resonance of the gearbox, but also the flexible deformation of the wheelset leads to the deformation of the gearbox, which also increases the dynamic stress of the gearbox. Within the resonant bandwidth of the frequency, the amplitude of the dynamic stresses in the gearbox will increase considerably compared with the normal case.

The Korean High Speed Train (KHST) has been tested on the Kyongbu high speed line and the Honam conventional line since 2002. A data acquisition system was developed to test and prove the dynamic performance of the KHST, and the system has been found to be very efficient in acquiring multi-channel data from accelerometers located all over the train. Also presented in this paper is an analysis procedure which is simple and efficient in analyzing the acceleration data acquired during the on-line test of the KHST. The understanding of system vibration mode for a railway vehicle is essential to evaluate the characteristics of a dynamic system and to diagnose the dynamic problems of the vehicle system during tests and operations. Methods based on homogeneous linear systems are not realistic because real systems have nonlinear characteristics and are strongly dependent on environmental conditions. In this paper an efficient method of vibration analysis has been proposed and applied for the KHST to evaluate its vibration mode characteristics. The results show that this method is suitable to estimate the system vibration modes of the KHST.

To investigate the dynamic transfer characteristics of low geosynthetic-reinforced embankments supported by CFG piles under high-speed train load, a numerical study has been conducted through dynamic finite element method on basis of the dynamic field test on a cross-section of Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway. The comparative analysis on results of numerical study and field test indicated the distribution characteristics of vertical dynamic stress induced by high-speed train load in subgrade soil under railway line. The numerical results also suggested a high stress area in subgrade where vertical dynamic stress is over 1kPa. Conclusions of this work can provide reference for both design and estimation of long-term settlement of low geosynthetic-reinforced embankments supported by CFG piles for high-speed railway.

To solve the problems associated with multiple-vehicle simulations of railway vehicles including large scale modelling, long computing time, low analysis efficiency, need for high performance computing, and large storage space, the middle part of the train where no plastic deformation occurs in the vehicle body was simplified using mass and beam elements. Comparative analysis of the collisions between a single railway vehicle (including head and intermediate vehicles before, and after, simplification) and a rigid wall showed that variations in impact kinetic energy, internal energy, and impact force (after simplification) are consistent with those of the unsimplified model. Meanwhile, the finite element model of a whole high-speed train was assembled based on the simplified single-vehicle model. The numbers of nodes and elements in the simplified finite element model of the whole train were 63.4% and 61.6%, respectively, compared to those of the unsimplified model. The simplified whole train model using the above method was more accurate than the multibody model. In comparison to the full-size finite element model, it is more specific, had more rapid computational speed, and saved a large amount of computational power and storage space. Finally, the velocity and acceleration data for every car were discussed through the analysis of the collision between two simplified trains at various speeds.

This paper established a high-speed tracked vehicle dynamics model, and simulated the transient response of sprocket when the vehicle is running at 60km/h on the D class road. the finite element model of the single tooth in mesh is established in Ansys and the rigid-flexible coupling model of "trackboard- sprocket" is established in RecurDyn. The dynamic stress and strain fringe of the sprocket’s gear ring is achieved by analysis. Simulation results show that the stress of tracked vehicle sprocket gear root and the fixed gear bolt hole is larger, and the stress concentration is detected at the edge of contacted tooth. The simulation results provide the calculation basis for the optimization of the high-speed tracked vehicle system and its lifespan prediction.

According to a large amount of the test data, the mid and high frequency vibrations of high-speed bogies are very notable, especially in the 565~616 Hz range, which are just the passing frequencies corresponding to the 22nd to 24th polygonal wear of the wheel. In order to investigate the main cause of wheel higher-order polygon formation, a 3D flexible model of a Chinese high-speed train bogie is developed using the explicit finite element method. The results show that the couple vibration of bogie and wheelset may lead to the high-order wears of wheel. In order to reduce the coupled resonance of the wheelset and the bogie frame, the effects of the stiffness and damping of the primary suspensions, wheelset axle radius, and bogie frame strength on the vibration transmissibility are discussed carefully. The numerical results show that the resonance peaks in high frequency range can be reduced by reducing the stiffness of axle box rotary arm joint, reducing the wheelset axle radius or strengthening the bogie frame location. The related results may provide a reference for structure improvement of the existing bogies and structure design of the new high-speed bogies.

From the vibration data obtained simultaneously on several cars in the same Shinkansen train, it was observed that the vibration amplitude of the tail car is greater than those of the other cars in a train. The authors' analysis arrived at the conclusion that the vibration mode of a train has a tendency for the tail car to vibrate more than the others, when the carbody hunting characteristics of a train for the yawing mode are likely to emerge, and when aerodynamic forces work in a tunnel section. Referring to those results, by simulation analysis etc., it was found that two longitudinal dampers installed parallel between the car ends (Fig. 1) with their forces depending on the angular velocity between cars, are effective in decreasing the train vibration including the tail car's vibration. Then, the prototype of the longitudinal dampers between the cars for Shinkansen was designed by obtaining the proper damping coefficient through simulation. The effectiveness of the installed damper was verified when it was tested up to 310 km/h in the Shinkansen train.
