A finite element method is developed for simulating the performance of an automotive brake rotor with metallic inserts that are used to dampen the vibration and radiated noise response. The metallic inserts are located in slots that are cast at the edge of the rotor circumference between the two rotor surfaces. Three different rotor configurations are evaluated: (a) an undamped solid rotor, (b) a damped rotor with an unconstrained press-fit metallic insert, and (c) a damped rotor with a constrained cast-in coated metallic insert. Comparisons of the predicted versus measured rotor surface vibration and radiated sound pressure are made to evaluate the effect of the insert and the accuracy of the finite element method. The comparisons show that significant modal damping of the rotor vibration and radiated noise can be achieved through the use of the coated metallic insert. A methodology is developed and applied to evaluate the damping of different metallic inserts and coatings from only the radiated sound pressure response.

According to characteristics of force and displacement of welded turnout on bridge, the turnout-bridge-platform integration computation model was established; the model was solved by finite element method. Taking the Meichi No.1bridge on Zhejiang-Jiangxi railway line as the example, the force and the displacement characteristics of the welded turnout on bridge were analyzed. The temperature force and the displacement of welded turnout on bridge was measured, the site test proves that the calculated results are consistent with the measurements. The analysis and the test prove that the turnout -bridge-platform integration computation model to solve the longitudinal force and displacement of welded turnout on bridge was feasible; the forces and displacements of welded turnout on bridge and CWR on bridge were different, Some parameters Influencing the longitudinal force and displacement of the welded turnout on bridge should be calculated, such as the temperature of rail, the disposal of turnout, the location of turnout and bridge, and so on; in dense turnout area, such as throat zone, the interaction between turnouts was considerable, for the sake of calculating the force and displacement of turnout on the bridge well, the integration computation model including all the turnouts and bridges should be established.
