Abstract. In order to effectively prevent and control the generation and development of rail corrugation, according to the actual line condition of the small radius curve section, the vehicle (with flexible wheel sets)–track space coupled model was established by using the multi-body dynamic software UM (Universal Mechanism), which could consider the coupled relationship in three directions of space, and the dynamic analysis for the corrugation section was carried out by using the model. Then, based on the theory of friction self-excited vibration, the three-dimensional model of a wheel–rail system was established by using the finite-element software ABAQUS, and the complex eigenvalue analysis of influence factors of rail corrugation was conducted based on wheel–rail contact parameters obtained by dynamic calculation. Through the stability analysis of the wheel–rail system with different fastener vertical and lateral stiffnesses, friction coefficients, and superelevation states, we find that properly increasing the fastener vertical and lateral stiffnesses, controlling the wheel–rail friction coefficient below 0.4, and keeping the balanced superelevation state of the track structure can effectively reduce the occurrence possibility of unstable vibration of the wheel–rail system, thus inhibiting the generation and development of rail corrugation. The excess superelevation state of the track structure results in the unstable friction self-excited vibration of the wheel–rail system at the inner wheel–inner rail, while the deficient superelevation state results in the unstable friction self-excited vibration of the wheel–rail system at the outer wheel–outer rail, which shows that the superelevation state of the track structure directly affects the formation of rail corrugation and determines the development order of corrugation of inner and outer rails. This conclusion can well explain the cause of corrugation appearing on only one side rail.

Changing the track support structure is an effective method to suppress or eliminate rail corrugation in practical engineering. Rail corrugation on small-radius curves with booted short sleepers is the main research object in the present paper. A relevant finite element model of the wheelset-track system supported by booted short sleepers is built combined with the dynamic analysis of the vehicle-track system. The effects of various parameters of booted short sleeper structure on the wheel–rail friction-induced vibration are investigated by complex eigenvalue analysis. Considering the interaction of multiple parameters in the booted short sleeper structure, the multi-parameter fitting equation forecasting the possibility of rail corrugation is obtained using the least squares algorithm. Results show that wheel–rail friction-induced oscillation is a contributing factor in the formation of rail corrugation. Controlling wheel–rail friction-induced oscillation with a frequency of about 300 Hz is beneficial to suppress the possibility of rail corrugation in sections with booted short sleepers. Lower fastener stiffness or greater vertical fastener damping make it less likely that rail corrugation will occur. Rail corrugation is not generated when the vertical stiffness of the fastener is controlled below 20 MN/m in the booted short sleeper.

Supporting Frame

New full hall scaffolds with pulley-clip style formwork support system is adopted in the concert hall of Changsha. This paper presents the concept of the complete equivalent initial imperfection according to the characteristics of too many influential factors on the high formwork supporting frame，then makes the complete equivalent initial imperfectione equivalent to assumed equivalent horizontal load in order to ensure the safety of the frame. At the same time, it gets a three-dimensional model by the general finite element software ANSYS 10.0. Based on the results of experiment and finite element analysis, it gets the recommended value of assumed equivalent horizontal load. The study on the high formwork supporting frame with pulley-clip style provides some reference for other similar projects.

The finite element software ANSYS is used to build the asphalt pavement three-dimensional model and to carry through transient analysis. The z-direction displacement time history curves of asphalt pavement under half wave sine load are obtained. The curves reveal that the dynamic load influence on pavement structure Z-direction displacement is complex; The z-direction displacement always reaches its peak value when the load reaches this point, and it decreases rapidly to zero after the load leaves; The Z-direction displacement influence of dynamic load increases with the increase of depth. These conclusions can provide a reference for asphalt pavement under half wave sinusoidal dynamic load.

Purpose Anchorage with concrete bearing pad is commonly used in Iran for stabilization of excavations because of the ease of construction, less costs and less time consumption than the soldier pile method. In this method, a wall facing which includes the concrete bearing pads at the location of the anchors and a shotcrete layer between the bearing pads is constructed parallel to the excavation operation similar to the nailing method. Design/methodology/approach In this paper, using the finite element software Abaqus, a three-dimensional model of the above-mentioned type of wall is constructed, and the effect of spacing and size of bearing pads on the wall behavior is discussed. Findings According to the obtained results, the size of the concrete bearing pads has little effect on wall deformations, but the internal forces and bending moments developed in the shotcrete layer between the bearing pads are greatly influenced by the bearing pads dimensions and spacing. Originality/value Owing to the discrete elements of the wall facing, the behavior of this system is completely three-dimensional.

Foundation settlement of high-speed turnouts has a significant impact on its security serve status. Based on the general finite element software ABQUS, a vehicle-turnout-roadbed coupled dynamic model was built, and the dynamic properties of NO.18 movable-point turnout were analyzed in this paper. The result shows that: the acceleration of switch rail and nose rail is larger than that of track in common section under foundation settlement; large vibration and deformation of the track structure arise when the vehicle is going through, meanwhile the peak of foundation lateral vibration response is higher than that of vibration caused by the vehicle passing switch rail. The derailment coefficient, rate of rail load reduction, the acceleration and displacement of track plate and foundation all increase with the settlement of foundation. On the contrary, they reduce as the length of subtense. Also, the dynamic response of high-speed turnout grows along with the speed of the increasing under foundation settlement.
