MR-TMD is a new type of semi-active control device which combines with Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) and a Magnetorheological (MR) Damper. Taking German ICE3 high-speed railway train through 32meters simply supported box girder bridge for example, a dynamical model of Train-Bridge coupling vibration system is established by considering track irregularities. The relations between the bridge vibration and track irregularities with dampers are studied and the effects of vibration control with TMD and MR-TMD on the bridge are comparatively analyzed. The results show that the effects of track irregularities on vertical displacement of the bridge are relatively small, but on vibration acceleration are relatively large. As the train speed increases, the effects of track irregularities on the vibration acceleration is lager. As the track irregularities increase, the accelerations are greater. MR-TMD is able to inhibit vibration of bridge effectively, and has a wider control range and frequency bandwidth.

AbstractThe aerodynamic performance of high-speed trains passing each other was investigated on a simply supported box girder bridge, with a span of 32 m, under crosswinds. The bridge and train models, modeled at a geometric scale ratio of 1:30, were used to test the aerodynamic forces of the train, with the help of a designed moving test rig in the XNJD-3 wind tunnel. The effects of wind speed, train speed, and yaw angle on the aerodynamic coefficients of the train were analyzed. The static and moving model tests were compared to demonstrate how the movement of the train influences its aerodynamic characteristics. The results show that the sheltering effect introduced by trains passing each other can cause a sudden change in force on the leeward train, which is further influenced by the wind and running speeds. Detailed analyses related to the effect of wind and train speeds on the aerodynamic coefficients were conducted. The relationship between the change in aerodynamic coefficients and yaw angle was finally described by a series of proposed fitting formulas.

In order to study the stress distribution law of simply-supported box girder bridge deck pavement under the effect of triangular concrete cushion, finite element analysis program is used to analyze distribution regularity of stress among asphalt and cement concrete cushion at the thinnest thickness of concrete cushion and transverse slope degree under the action of eccentric load which is applied in the most critical position. The result indicates that the first principal stress in asphalt pavement, the interface normal tensile stress and interface shear stress will reduce when the cushion layer thickness and transverse slope degree increase, however, the thinnest thickness of cushion should not be less than 3 cm. Considering the total weight of structure, cushion thickness should not be too large either. The thinnest cushion thickness of simply supported box girder bridge pavement layer is recommended for 3-4cm while transverse slope for 2-3%.

In order to study and analyze the vibration response of simply supported box girder bridge-maglev vehicle, a 25 m span simply supported box girder bridge of Changsha Maglev Express was selected as the research object. Field tests were carried out to explore the dynamic response of maglev vehicle running on the bridge. Firstly, the dynamic characteristics of the bridge under the action of medium-low speed maglev train at different speeds were analyzed, and the vibration response of vehicle and bridge was studied at the design speed of 60∼130 km/h. Among them, the longitudinal acceleration of simply supported box girder ranged from 60 km/h to 130 km/h, which increased linearly with the speed of the train and reached the maximum 0.59 m/s2. Its longitudinal deflection also increased with the increase in train speed, which reached the maximum 1.605 mm at 130 km/h. When the speed is 130 km/h, the suspension gap of the maglev vehicle was concentrated in the range of 7.24∼11.50 mm. Through the test analysis, this study provides a basis for the vibration response analysis of simply supported box girder bridge-maglev train. It also provides a reference for the modification and formulation of relevant specifications and experimental verification for the acceleration work of medium-low speed maglev train in the future.
