Wheel hollow wear is a common form of wheel-surface damage in high-speed trains, which is of great concern and a potential threat to the service performance and safety of the high-speed railway system. At the same time, rail corridors in high-speed railways are extensively straightened through the addition of bridges. However, only few studies paid attention to the influence of wheel-profile wear on the train-track-bridge dynamic interaction. This paper reports a study of the high-speed train-track-bridge dynamic interactions under new and hollow worn wheel profiles. A nonlinear rigid-flexible coupled model of a Chinese high-speed train travelling on nonballasted tracks supported by a long-span continuous girder bridge is formulated. This modelling is based on the train-track-bridge interaction theory, the wheel-rail nonelliptical multipoint contact theory, and the modified Craig–Bampton modal synthesis method. The effects of wheel-rail nonlinearity caused by the wheel hollow wear are fully considered. The proposed model is applied to predict the vertical and lateral dynamic responses of the high-speed train-track-bridge system under new and worn wheel profiles, in which a high-speed train passing through a long-span continuous girder bridge at a speed of 350 km/h is considered. The numerical results show that the wheel hollow wear changes the geometric parameters of the wheel-rail contact and then deteriorates the train-track-bridge interactions. The worn wheels can increase the vibration response of the high-speed railway bridges.

Dynamic Performance Analysis

The dynamic performance of continuous girder under the train in a series of speed is studied through examples, and the main conclusions are given in the following. The resonance mechanism of continuous girder is similar to simply supported beam. The vehicle wheel load forms regular moving load series, which induces periodical action and resonance of the bridge. The damping ratio of bridge itself has less effect on the amplitude at the loading stage, but significant effects appear when the load departs from the bridge. The count of continuous spans also has less impact on the dynamic coefficients, so three continuous spans can be adopted for calculation and analysis. Span and fundamental frequency have significant influence on dynamic coefficients of bridge structures. To extend the span of the bridge structure can reduce the dynamic coefficient while keeping its frequency invariant. The fundamental frequencies of different bridges are corresponding to certain resonant speeds, which calls for the attention in the design.

Imaging devices attached to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are used for crack measurements of railway bridges constructed for high-speed trains. This research aims to investigate track-side wind induced by high-speed trains and its effect on UAV thrust near the railway bridge. Furthermore, the characteristics of train-induced wind in three axial directions along a track, wind velocity, and the effect of train-induced wind on the UAV thrust were analyzed. This was achieved by installing 3-axis ultrasonic anemometers and a UAV thrust measurement system on top of a PSC box girder bridge. The changes in the train-induced wind velocity were monitored along the train travel, width, and height directions. The train-induced wind was measured at distances of 0.8, 1.3, 2.3, and 2.8 m away from the train’s body to analyze wind velocity based on distance. It was found that the maximum wind velocity decreased linearly as the distance from the train’s body increased. The UAV thrust increased by up to 20% and 60%, owing to train-induced wind when the leading and trailing power cars of a high-speed train passed, respectively. Thus, it is necessary to conduct further research to develop robust control and a variable pitch-propeller that can control thrust.
