Wheel hollow wear is a common form of wheel-surface damage in high-speed trains, which is of great concern and a potential threat to the service performance and safety of the high-speed railway system. At the same time, rail corridors in high-speed railways are extensively straightened through the addition of bridges. However, only few studies paid attention to the influence of wheel-profile wear on the train-track-bridge dynamic interaction. This paper reports a study of the high-speed train-track-bridge dynamic interactions under new and hollow worn wheel profiles. A nonlinear rigid-flexible coupled model of a Chinese high-speed train travelling on nonballasted tracks supported by a long-span continuous girder bridge is formulated. This modelling is based on the train-track-bridge interaction theory, the wheel-rail nonelliptical multipoint contact theory, and the modified Craig–Bampton modal synthesis method. The effects of wheel-rail nonlinearity caused by the wheel hollow wear are fully considered. The proposed model is applied to predict the vertical and lateral dynamic responses of the high-speed train-track-bridge system under new and worn wheel profiles, in which a high-speed train passing through a long-span continuous girder bridge at a speed of 350 km/h is considered. The numerical results show that the wheel hollow wear changes the geometric parameters of the wheel-rail contact and then deteriorates the train-track-bridge interactions. The worn wheels can increase the vibration response of the high-speed railway bridges.

The Lanzhou-Xinjiang High-speed Railway runs through a region of over 500[Formula: see text]km that is amenable to frequent winds. The strong wind and rainfall pose a great threat to the safe operation of high-speed trains. To tackle the aforementioned climate challenges, this paper investigates the dynamic response of the high-speed train-track-bridge coupling system under the simultaneous action of winds and rains for the safe operation of trains. Specifically, there are four main objectives: (1) to develop a finite element model to analyze the dynamic response of the train-track-bridge system in windy and raining conditions; (2) to investigate the aerodynamic loads posed to the train-track-bridge system by winds and rains; (3) to evaluate the effects of wind speed and rainfall intensity on the train-track-bridge system; and (4) to assess the safety of trains at different train speeds and under various wind-rain conditions. To this end, this paper first establishes a train-track-bridge model via ANSYS and SIMPACK co-simulation and the aerodynamics models of the high-speed train and bridge through FLUENT to form a safety analysis system for high-speed trains running on the bridge under the wind-rain conditions. Then, the response of the train-track-bridge system under different wind speeds and rainfall intensities is studied. The results show that the effects of winds and rains are coupled. The rule of variation for the train dynamic response with respect to various wind and rain conditions is established, with practical suggestions provided for control of the safe operation of high-speed trains.

The Impact

In Northeast China and the areas along Sichuan-Tibet railway, collision between floating ice and piers of railway bridges seriously threatens the train operation safety. The safety of high-speed train running on the bridge subject to the impact of floating ice collision is rarely assessed considering the spatial interaction of the train-track-bridge-ice system. To evaluate the running safety and ride comfort of trains and the structural stability of railway bridges under the collision between floating ices and piers, a train-track-bridge (TTB) dynamic interaction model considering the impact of floating ice is established. Using the refined finite element model, the collision process of floating ice on bridge pier is simulated, and the impact loads are employed as the excitation input of the TTB dynamics model. Taking a 5 × 32 m simply-supported bridges as a case study, the influence of bridge structural parameters on the floating ice collision system is investigated, and then the dynamic responses of the TTB system induced by the floating ice impact loads are analyzed in detail. Finally, the effect of the ice impact loads on the running safety of the high-speed train is revealed. Results show that under the floating ice impact loads, the angle of the pier sharp-nose (APSN) and lateral stiffness of foundations are the key parameters that influence the dynamic responses of the bridge, and an improperly small lateral stiffness of foundation would lead to an instability of bridge structure. The influence of ice impact loads on the dynamic responses of the train is remarkable. The lateral vibration acceleration, derailment factor and lateral wheel rail force caused by the ice impact loads are all greater than those caused by the track irregularity, while the wheel unloading rate is slightly smaller. In addition, the running speed of train is also closely related to the running safety and ride comfort when the collision occurs. When the train speed exceeds 400 km/h, the train passing through the bridge would have the possibility of derailment.
