In order to more accurately analyze the fatigue reliability of motor hanger for high-speed train and reduce the influence of uncertain factors, a Bayesian statistical method is introduced to propose a novel fatigue reliability analysis method based on Bayesian updating and subset simulation. First, considering the influence of various uncertain parameters on the first principal stress (FPS) of motor hanger, the ANSYS parametric design language (APDL) is used to establish the parametric model. The D-optimal design of experiment is carried out to calculate the FPS of the motor hanger. Second, the experimental data is fitted by the least square method to establish a polynomial response surface function which characterizes the FPS of the motor hanger, and analysis of variance (ANOVA) is carried out. On this basis, the variation trend of the FPS under parameter fluctuation is calculated, and its probability distribution characteristics are obtained. Based on the MATLAB platform, the Bayesian updating method is adopted to correct the probability and statistical characteristics of the FPS to improve the accuracy of prediction. Finally, the subset simulation (SS) method is used to calculate the fatigue failure probability of the motor hanger. The research results show that the proposed method helps to improve the accuracy and efficiency of fatigue reliability analysis.

In the cutting process, cutting force is one of the important physical parameters, which affects the generation of cutting heat, tool life and surface precision of workpiece directly. In this paper an orthogonal design of experiment and subsequent data is analyzed using high speed finish hard cutting GCr15 whose hardness is 65HRC. Cutting speed is 200-400m/min, to study the influence of cutting parameters on cutting force, cutting force empirical model has obtained from least square method.

This paper, aimed at the problems of high-speed train seat design standards that lack biomechanical analysis, analyzed the lumbar force of sitting position and verified the validity of the finite element model of human lumbar L1–L5 that had been built by reverse engineering technology. Based on the lumbar force distribution, the methods of exterior penalty and moving least square were adopted to establish a high-speed train seat equation that caters for physical ergonomics and a new high-speed train seat model was designed so as to improve the comfort for passengers.

In this study, we focus on the Acela Express, and try to find out how selected internal and external factors affect the Acela Express’s ridership. A two-stage least square regression model is introduced in order to eliminate the endogeneity problem caused by price and ridership. Also the Cochrane-Orcutt Procedure is adopted to solve autocorrelation. The result shows that ticket price and train on-time performances, which are used to being thought as important factors affect ridership become insignificant, while other factors like employment of business and professional in the Northeast Corridor areas have higher influence on high speed train ridership. The broader objective of this research is to provide policy suggestions for building of an efficient high-speed rail network that can both be profitable and solve practical problems that the contemporary transportation system faces.

For a vehicle operating under different line conditions, coupled with track irregularity and many other factors, the carbody is subjected to extremely complex random loads, and the load mainly exists in the form of an alternating load; therefore, the primary type of failure is fatigue failure. With the continuous improvement in train speed, lightweight designs of carbody structures and the application of high-strength aluminium alloy, the safety and reliability of a carbody require more attention. An investigation of the dynamic fatigue reliability of a full-scale carbody of a high-speed train under random load conditions is carried out. A dynamics model of the vehicle system has been established for acquiring the time history of forces acting on the carbody by each air spring (hereinafter referred to as ‘the load–time history’). A surrogate model (a simple model instead of a complex carbody model) of the carbody is established based on the Box–Behnken matrix design and the polynomial fitting method; then, the load–time history is transformed to the stress–time history of the points of concern, and the results are compared with the results of the transient analysis, which verify the accuracy and effectiveness of the surrogate model. Then, a stress block spectrum is obtained by rain flow counting, and the stress probability distribution is determined. Combined with the probability distribution of fatigue strength, a dynamic stress–strength interference model (the area of interference between strength and stress in the model changes over time) is established. The failure rate and dynamic reliability of the points of concern for two cases are analysed: without considering the strength degradation and considering the strength degradation. The results show that without considering the strength degradation during service, with increased service mileage, the fatigue strength reliability of the points of concern decreases continuously, and the corresponding failure rate of the points of concern decreases with time and reaches a steady value, which has the characteristics of the first two stages of the bathtub curve. By considering the strength degradation during service, the reliability of the points of concern decreases gradually, and the corresponding failure rate of the points of concern decreases and then increases, with all the features of the bathtub curve. In addition, compared with the base metal region, the fatigue resistance of the welded structure decreases due to welding. Under the same service conditions, the reliability of the welded region is relatively low, and fatigue failure is more likely to occur.

In designing the structures of railway rolling stocks, deterministic methods associated with the concept of a safety factor have been traditionally used. The deterministic approaches based on the mean values of applied loads and material properties have been used as safety verification for the design of the car body structures. The uncertainties in the applied loading for the high speed train and the strength of new materials in the structure require the application of probabilistic approaches to ensure fatigue safety in the desired system. Pressure loadings acting on the car body when the train passes through tunnels show reflected pressure waves for high-speed trains and they may cause a fatigue failure in vehicle bodies. In this paper, it is proposed that a fatigue design and assessment method based on a structural reliability that deals with the loading of pressure variations on a railway vehicle reflected in tunnels and the strength variations of material. Equation for the fatigue reliability index has been formulated to calculate the reliability assessment of a vehicle body under fluctuating pressure loadings in a tunnel. Considered in this formulation are the pressure distribution characteristics, the fatigue strength distribution characteristics, and the concept of stress-transfer functions due to the pressure loading.

To improve the manufacturing accuracy of NC machine tool, the thermal error model based on multivariate autoregressive method for a motorized high speed spindle is developed. The proposed model takes into account influences of the previous temperature rise and thermal deformation (input variables) on the thermal error (output variables). The linear trends of observed series are eliminated by the first difference. The order of multivariate autoregressive (MVAR) model is selected by using Akaike information criterion. The coefficients of the MVAR model are determined by the least square method. The established MVAR model is then used to forecast the thermal error and the experimental results have shown the validity and robustness of this model.

In order to explore the velocity attenuation law and model of φ6mm tungsten ball fragment, theory analysis combined with tests is employed to study its velocity experimental results. First of all, a fragment velocity measuring system including 12 groups of cutting device is established. Then the attenuation experiments of φ6mm tungsten ball fragment in high speed and low speed velocity are performed by the measuring system. Based on the least-square method, MATLAB software is adopted to analysis the experimental data and obtained the high speed and low speed velocity attenuation models. The results show that φ6mm tungsten ball fragment speed attenuation coefficient is consistent in high speed and low. Thus, the analysis on velocity experimental results verifies that the established model is reasonable.
