Track Irregularities

The study focuses on dynamic analysis of composite bridge / track structure / train systems (BTT systems) with random vertical track irregularities taken into consideration. The paper presents the results of numerical analysis of advanced virtual models of series-of-types of single-span simply-supported railway steel-concrete bridges (SCB) with symmetric platforms, located on lines with the ballasted track structure adapted to traffic of high-speed trains.

Track Irregularities

Long-wavelength track irregularities have obvious influence on ride comfort and running stability of high-speed trains. Meanwhile, it brings risk to the inspection of track irregularities since ordinary inspection equipment has difficulties in covering long wavelengths. Previous research on the effect of long-wavelength track irregularities is rare. In order to find the relationship between long-wavelength irregularities and vehicle dynamic responses, a numerical vehicle-track coupling dynamic model based on multibody dynamics and finite element theories is established by using a self-compiling program. One case study is given as an example to show the methodology of determining the sensitive long wavelength and management amplitude of track longitudinal-level irregularities in high-speed railway. The simulation results show that the sensitive long wavelength has a strong correlation with train speed and natural frequency. The simulation and field test results are in good agreement.

Track Deformation

Deformations of high-speed railways accumulate over time and affect the geometry of the track, thus affecting the running safety of trains. This article proposes a new method to map the relationship between dynamic responses of high-speed trains and additional bridge deformations. A train–track–bridge coupled model is established to determine relationship between the dynamic responses (e.g. accelerations and wheel–rail forces) of the high-speed trains and the track deformations caused by bridge pier settlement, girder end rotation, and girder camber. The dynamic responses are correlated with the track deformation. The mapping relationship between bridge deformations and running safety of trains is determined. To satisfy the requirements of safety and riding comfort, the suggested upper thresholds of pier settlement, girder end rotation, and girder camber are 22.6 mm, 0.92‰ rad, and 17.2 mm, respectively. This study provides a method that is convenient for engineers in evaluation and maintenance of high-speed railway bridges.
