摘要
The purpose of present work is to obtain a further understanding of rail corrugation on tight curved tracks. The stability of a wheelset-track system is studied using the finite element complex eigenvalue method. Based on the viewpoint of friction-coupling self-excited vibration causing rail corrugation, an elastic vibration model of the leading wheelset-track system is established. It is assumed that the creep forces at the inner and outer wheels of the leading wheelset are saturated when a vehicle negotiates a tight curved track, so the tangential forces are equal to the normal forces times the dynamic coefficient of friction. The simulation results demonstrate that the saturated creep force can induce self-excited vibration of the wheelset-track system, which is able to cause rail corrugation. The effects of the contact angle and the direction of the saturated creep force on the self-excited vibration of the leading wheelset-track system are studied. Parameter sensitivity analysis shows that the contact angle and the direction of the saturated creep force have significant effects on self-excited vibration of the leading wheelset-track system. Rail corrugation easily occurs when the contact angle is small. The saturated creep force in the lateral direction more easily produces rail corrugation than the saturated creep force in the longitudinal direction of the track does. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.
