The paper describes the numerical simulation of the vertical random vibration of train-slab track-bridge interaction system by means of finite element method and pseudoexcitation method. Each vehicle is modeled as four-wheelset mass-spring-damper system with two-layer suspension systems. The rail, slab, and bridge girder are modeled by three-layer elastic Bernoulli-Euler beams connected with each other by spring and damper elements. The equations of motion for the entire system are derived according to energy principle. By regarding rail irregularity as a series of multipoint, different-phase random excitations, the random load vectors of the equations of motion are obtained by pseudoexcitation method. Taking a nine-span simply supported beam bridge traveled by a train consisting of 8 vehicles as an example, the vertical random vibration responses of the system are investigated. Firstly, the suitable number of discrete frequencies of rail irregularity is obtained by numerical experimentations. Secondly, the reliability and efficiency of pseudoexcitation method are verified through comparison with Monte Carlo method. Thirdly, the random vibration characteristics of train-slab track-bridge interaction system are analyzed by pseudoexcitation method. Finally, applying the 3σrule for Gaussian stochastic process, the maximum responses of train-slab track-bridge interaction system with respect to various train speeds are studied.

This paper presents a framework for the linear random vibration analysis of the coupled three-dimensional (3D) maglev vehicle-bridge system. Except for assembling the equation of motion of vehicle only via the principle of virtual work, the fully computerized approach is further expanded to assemble the governing equation of fluctuating current via the equilibrium relation. A state-space equation couples the equation of motion of the vehicle and the governing equation of fluctuating current. The equation of motion of a real three-span space continuous girder bridge is established by using finite element methods. A separated iteration method based on the precise integration method and the Newmark method is introduced to solve the state-space equation for the maglev vehicle and the equation of motion for the bridge. Moreover, a new scheme to application of the pseudoexcitation method (PEM) in random vibration analysis is proposed to maximize the computational efficiency of the random vibration analysis of the maglev vehicle-bridge system. Finally, the numerical simulation demonstrates that the proposed framework can efficiently obtain the mean value, root mean square (RMS), standard deviation (SD), and power spectral density (PSD) of dynamic response for the coupled 3D maglev vehicle-bridge system.
