复杂机车振动环境下牵引电机轴承服役寿命评估

牵引电机是铁路机车的动力源, 其关键零部件(支承轴承等)的服役性能直接影响机车传动系统的稳定性和可靠性. 对于重载机车, 传统轴承服役寿命评估方法主要基于定载荷工况, 难以准确评估轨道不平顺等复杂外部激励作用下电机轴承的服役寿命. 因此, 本文根据车辆-轨道耦合动力学理论, 考虑轨道车辆运行过程中的轮轨相互作用和齿轮啮合作用, 建立了具有牵引动力传动系统的机车-轨道耦合动力学模型; 采用线性损伤累积准则和ISO 281标准计算方法, 评估了复杂机车振动环境下牵引电机轴承的服役寿命. 结果表明, 在轨道随机不平顺激励下, 机车轮轨垂向力、齿轮啮合力、牵引电机内部转子离心力、不平衡磁拉力等明显增大; 在复杂机车振动环境中, 电机轴承内部滚子-滚道相互作用加剧, 传动端与非传动端轴承的疲劳寿命缩短; 随着线路状态的不断恶化和机车运行速度的提高, 牵引电机轴承的预测寿命里程不断减小; 由于传动端轴承承受较大的外部动态载荷, 传动端轴承的服役寿命明显低于非传动端轴承. 本文提出的评估方法可为机车牵引电机轴承的设计、选型和寿命评估提供理论指导.

Track dynamic behavior at rail welds at high speed

As a vehicle passing through a track with different weld irregularities, the dynamic performance of track com- ponents is investigated in detail by using a coupled vehi- cle-track model. In the model, the vehicle is modeled as a multi-body system with 35 degrees of freedom, and a Timoshenko beam is used to model the rails which are dis- cretely supported by sleepers. In the track model, the sleepers are modeled as rigid bodies accounting for their vertical, lat- eral and rolling motions and assumed to move backward at a constant speed to simulate the vehicle running along the track at the same speed. In the study of the coupled vehicle and track dynamics, the Hertizian contact theory and the theory proposed by Shen-Hedrick-Elkins are, respectively, used to calculate normal and creep forces between the wheel and the rails. In the calculation of the normal forces, the coefficient of the normal contact stiffness is determined by transient contact condition of the wheel and rail surface. In the calcu- lation of the creepages, the lateral, roll-over motions of the rail and the fact that the relative velocity between the wheel and rail in their common normal direction is equal to zero are simultaneously taken into account. The motion equations of the vehicle and track are solved by means of an explicit integration method, in which the rail weld irregularities are modeled as local track vertical deviations described by some ideal cosine functions. The effects of the train speed, the axle load, the wavelength and depth of the irregularities, and the weld center position in a sleeper span on the wheel-rail impact loading are analyzed. The numerical results obtained are greatly useful in the tolerance design of welded rail pro- file irregularity caused by hand-grinding after rail welding and track maintenances.     

Interaction between a moving two-mass oscillator and an infinite homogeneous structure: Green’s functions method

This paper deals with the interaction between a vehicle and a slab track using the model of moving wheel for both frequency and time-domain. The vehicle is reduced to a moving two-mass oscillator and the slab track is considered as an infinite structure consisting of elastically supported double Euler–Bernoulli beams. In order to perform the time-domain analysis, a semi-analytical method based on the outstanding properties of the time-domain Green’s functions of the slab track has been developed. The method allows the computing of the non-linear wheel/rail contact (the contact loss and the non-linear contact stiffness). The vehicle/track interaction due to the polygonal wheel and the corrugated rail has been investigated and the running velocity and non-linear wheel/rail contact influences have been pointed out.     

Interface damage and its effect on vibrations of slab track under temperature and vehicle dynamic loads

This paper presents a three-dimensional finite element model to investigate the interface damage occurred between prefabricated slab and CA (cement asphalt) mortar layer in the China Railway Track System (CRTS-II) slab track system. In the finite element model, a cohesive zone model with a non-linear constitutive law is introduced and utilized to model the damage, cracking and delamination at the interface. Combining with the temperature field database obtained from the three-dimensional transient heat transfer analysis, the interface damage evolution as a result of temperature change is analyzed. A three-dimensional coupled dynamic model of a vehicle and the slab track is then established to calculate the varying rail-supporting forces which are utilized as the inputs to the finite element model. The non-linearities of the wheel–rail contact geometry, the wheel–rail normal contact force and the wheel–rail tangential creep force are taken into account in the model. Setting the maximum interface damaged state calculated under temperature change as the initial condition, the interface damage evolution and its influence on the dynamic response of the slab track are investigated under the joint action of the temperature change and vehicle dynamic load. The analysis indicates that the proposed model is capable of predicting the initiation and propagation of cracks at the interface. The prefabricated slab presents lateral warping, resulting in severe interface damage on both the sides of the slab track along the longitudinal direction during temperature drop process, while the interface damage level does not change significantly under vehicle dynamic loads. The interface damage has great effects on the dynamic responses of the slab track.     

Effects of the dynamic wheel–rail interaction on the ground vibration generated by a moving train

Based on Biot’s fully dynamic poroelastic theory, the dynamic responses of the poroelastic half-space soil medium due to quasi-static and dynamic loads from a moving train are investigated semi-analytically. The dynamic loads are assumed to be generated from the rail surface irregularities. The vehicle dynamics model is used to simulate the axle loads (quasi-static loads) and the dynamic loads from a moving train. The compatibility of the displacements at wheel–rail contact points couple the vehicle and the track–ground subsystem, and yield equations for the dynamic wheel–rail loads. A linearized Hertzian contact spring between the wheel and rail is introduced to calculate the dynamic loads. Using the Fourier transform, the governing equations for the poroelastic half-space are then solved in the frequency–wavenumber domain. The time domain responses are evaluated by the fast inverse Fourier transform. Numerical results show that the dynamic loads can make important contribution to dynamic response of the poroelastic half-space for different train speed, and the dynamically induced responses lie in a higher frequency range. The ground vibrations caused by the moving train can be intensified as the primary suspension stiffness of the vehicle increases.
