A robust and efficient computational method to solve the dynamic interaction of a high-speed train and railway structure including derailment during an earthquake is given. Mechanical models to express contact–impact behaviors during and after derailment are described. A modal reduction has been developed to solve nonlinear equations of motions of the train and railway structure effectively. The exact time integration in the modal coordinate is given that is free from the round-off error normally appeared in the numerical time integration for very small time increments to solve the interaction including derailment during an earthquake. Some examples are demonstrated.

High Speed Train

The computational method to solve for the dynamic interaction between a high-speed train and the railway structure including derailment during an earthquake is given. The motion of the train is expressed in multibody dynamics. Efficient mechanical models to express contact-impact behaviors between wheel and the track structure including derailment during an earthquake are given. Rail and track elements with multibody dynamics and FEM combined have been developed. A nonlinear spring element based on a trilinear elastic-plastic material model with the kinematic hardening is given for a concrete railway structure under cyclic loads during an earthquake. The motion of a railway structure is modeled with various finite elements and also with rail and track elements. A modal reduction is applied to solve the problem effectively. An exact time integration scheme has been developed that is free from the round-off error for very small time increments needed to solve the interaction between wheel and railway structure including derailment during an earthquake. Numerical examples are demonstrated.

This work contains the results of a research of the dynamic processes in the “bridge-train” system while passenger trains move over a bridge structure (overpass) in high-speed. The article presents the methodology of mathematic modelling, and the basic differential equations of the studied system elements motion are provided. Also there is a description of dynamic interaction of the bridge-train system numerical model based on the FEM. In general, taking into account in the design scheme of the “bridge” system not only spans, but also piers with a foundation, it is possible to more accurately determine the values of the bridge natural frequencies, which is a key factor in assessing the dynamic response of a structure when passing a high-speed train.

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.
