Dynamic Analysis of CRTS II Ballastless Track-Vehicle System Based on Moving Unit Method

Abstract

On account of the influence of the discontinuity of CRTS II ballastless track slabs and the discrete support of track pads on the high-speed rail vehicle-ballastless track system, a vibration analysis calculation model of the ballastless track-vehicle coupling system was established on the basis of the moving unit method. The dynamic response of the system at different travel speeds and with and without consideration of the track plate discontinuities was investigated. The effect of the random process discontinuity on the dynamic response of the steel rails was analyzed by Fourier inverse transform on the high and low discontinuity spectra of ballastless rails on China’s high-speed rail. We also generated time domain samples of the track discontinuity corresponding to the three percentile spectra. The results show that the dynamic response of the track structure increases with the speed of the train under the condition of track unevenness, with the dynamic response of the steel rail being the most significant, while the dynamic response of the track slab and concrete foundation decreases step by step compared with that of the steel rail; the discontinuity of the track slab has a low impact on the vertical acceleration of the vehicle and does not affect the smoothness of the train; the magnitude of the dynamic response of the rail increases as the amplitude of the irregularities increases or the wavelength decreases. In the wavelength of 2~30 m, the maximum and as the wavelength of the discontinuity sample increases, the oscillation of the power response time curve decreases significantly and tends to be smooth.
