Abstract: | Impacts occur when a railway wheel encounters discontinuities such as rail joints. A model is presented in which the wheel/rail impacts due to rail joints are simulated in the time domain. The impact forces are transformed into the frequency domain and converted into the form of an equivalent roughness input. Using Track-Wheel Interaction Noise Software (TWINS) and the equivalent roughness input, the impact noise radiation is predicted for different rail joints and at various train speeds. It is found that the impact noise radiation due to rail joints is related to the train speed, the joint geometry and the static wheel load. The overall impact noise level from a single joint increases with the speed V at a rate of roughly . |
