Spring Method

Axle box spring of railway vehicle is the structure of helical spring in series with rubber pad to reduce working stress of helical spring and absorb high-frequency vibration. Rubber pad model was built. Static and dynamic characteristics were researched in axial and radial directions. The results show that the static stiffness of rubber pad decreases with the increase of radial displacement and increases distinctly with the increase of the amount of compression; The dynamic stiffness of rubber pad increases with the decrease of the excitation force in the case of the same excitation frequency and decreases with the decrease of the frequency in the case of the same excitation displacement. Axle box spring method was established and the amplitude-frequency curve of dynamic stiffness of the spring was presented. The results provide a theoretical basis to research the dynamic performance of railway vehicle.

Machine tools are highly integrated mechatronic systems consisting of dedicated mechanic design and integrated electrical equipment - in particular drive systems and the CNC-control - to realize the complex relative motion of tool towards work piece. Beside the process related capabilities, like static and dynamic stiffness as well as accuracy behavior and deviation resistance against thermal influence, safety aspects are of major interest. The machine tool enclosure must fulfill multiple requirements like retention capabilities against the moving parts of broken tools, lose work pieces or clamping components. In regular use, the noise emission have to be inhibited at the greatest possible extent by the machine tool enclosure. Nevertheless, the loading door and the moving parts of the workspace envelope are interfaces where noise transmission is harder to be avoided and therefore local noise emissions increase. The aim of the objective investigation is to analyse the noise emission of machine tools to determine the local noise transmission of a machine tool enclosure by using arrays of microphones. By the use of this measuring method, outer surfaces at the front, the side and on the top of the enclosure have been scanned. The local transient acoustic pressures have been recorded using a standard noise source placed on the machine table. In addition, an exemplary manufacturing process has been performed to analyse the frequency dependent location resolved sound emissions.

Polygonal Wear

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.

Exciting Frequency

The coil spring is an important element in the suspension system of railway vehicles, and its structural vibration caused by the mass distribution can deteriorate the dynamic performance of the vehicle. However, the coil spring is usually modelled as a simple linear force element without considering the dynamic characteristics in multibody dynamic simulations of railway vehicles. To integrate the dynamic characteristics of the coil spring into the simulation, three equivalent dynamic models of the coil spring are established by treating the coil spring as multimass spring series, Timoshenko beam, and flexible spring, respectively. The frequency-sweep method is applied to obtain the dynamic response of the proposed models of coil spring, and the accuracy of the models’ results has been compared and verified by the laboratory test. Results show that all of these three equivalent models can reflect the influence of the spring mass distribution on its dynamic responses. Compared with the mass-spring series and beam element equivalent models, the flexible spring model can better reflect the dynamic stiffness and stress of the coil spring changing with the exciting frequency. Thus, the flexible spring model proposed in this paper is more applicable to railway vehicle system dynamics and the fatigue analysis.

Secondary Suspension

A secondary suspension configuration that integrates the Interconnected Hydro-Pneumatic Struts (IHPS) to the air spring system is proposed in this investigation for railway vehicles. Using the dynamic performance of IHPS, this suspension aims to provide smaller vertical supporting stiffness and larger anti-roll resistance compared to the traditional configuration, the air spring is connected to an emergency rubber spring in series with quite large stiffness. By replacing the rubber spring with IHPS, the proposed suspension configuration contributes to vibration absorption as well as anti-roll stiffness of the vehicle. The IHPS has two hydraulic cylinders installed in parallel to support the suspended mass. Each hydraulic cylinder has three oil chambers, and the oil chambers between the left and right struts are cross-connected through pipelines. Considering the oil compressibility and the vibration of liquid in the interconnected pipes, the mathematical model of IHPS is formulated and established in MATLAB. A multi-body dynamic railway vehicle model is built in SIMPACK, into which the IHPS is integrated through a co-simulation technique. Model validations on the IHPS are performed and its static and dynamic stiffness is examined. Numerical simulations show that the IHPS suspension reduces the vertical acceleration on the car body floor at a frequency between 1 and 3 Hz than the traditional air spring system with/without an anti-roll bar configuration. The vertical Sperling index of the vehicle using the IHPS suspension is smaller than that of the traditional suspensions, and it is more significant when the air spring deflates. However, the vertical acceleration with IHPS is larger than the traditional suspensions at 13∼55 Hz when the air spring deflates.
