Rail vehicle wheel wear prediction: a comparison between analytical and experimental approaches

There are a number of theoretical and practical techniques to compute rail vehicle wheel wear. For instance, the Archard equation is a well-known tool to determine the worn volume in sliding contact, as a function of normal load, sliding distance and the surface hardness. Of course, the wear coefficient (called K) used in this equation to differentiate the wear models implicitly comprises the conditions that govern the contact surface. Two situations can be taken into account when considering a sliding contact in a rail vehicle wheels, particularly along a curved track: (i) when the radial force prevails the lateral tangential force, which is mainly the frictional force but before flanging and (ii) during flange contact. Also, the Archard equation is employed within the tread and flange regions separately, both the regions being of interest in this paper. A number of approaches are then used to find the distance slid. The authors compare the field test results and the outcome of the analytical approaches. When the wheel wear results acquired from the two test bogies on Iranian Railways, all technical (rigid frame bogies with new assemblies and components) and operational items were identical, except for changing the bogie orientation in the second test trial for a short period. Good agreement was found between the analytical and practical investigations.     

Influence of creep forces on the risk of derailment of railway vehicles

The derailment mechanism in a railway vehicle is a complex mechanical phenomenon which has been, and still is, the subject of intense research activity due to the serious consequences it can entail. Since Nadal deduced his well-known formula, many researchers have put forward alternative equations which all attempt to move closer to the data obtained experimentally. This paper provides a summary of the best known and draws up a new formulation based on the theoretical 3-D study of creep forces emerging from the contact patch of the wheel likely to derail. It also provides an in-depth analysis of the role played by spin creepage, including its effect on obtaining theoretical derailment limits, which are more realistic than those obtained using Nadal's formula. Finally, a new derailment criterion is proposed. This new criterion leads to less conservative values than Nadal's equation for zero yaw angles. When the yaw angle is high enough, the results obtained are coincident with those predicted by Nadal's equation.

A new formulation of the understeer coefficient to relate yaw torque and vehicle handling

The handling behaviour of vehicles is an important property for its relation to performance and safety. In 1970s, Pacejka did the groundwork for an objective analysis introducing the handling diagram and the understeer coefficient. In more recent years, the understeer concept is still mentioned but the handling is actively managed by direct yaw control (DYC). In this paper an accurate analysis of the vehicle handling is carried out, considering also the effect of drive forces. This analysis brings to a new formulation of the understeer coefficient, which is almost equivalent to the classical one, but it can be obtained by quasi-steady-state manoeuvres. In addition, it relates the vehicle yaw torque to the understeer coefficient, filling up the gap between the classical handling approach and DYC. A multibody model of a Formula SAE car is then used to perform quasi-steady-state simulations in order to verify the effectiveness of the new formulation. Some vehicle set-ups and wheel drive arrangements are simulated and the results are discussed. In particular, the handling behaviours of the rear wheel drive (RWD) and the front wheel drive (FWD) architectures are compared, finding an apparently surprising result: for the analysed vehicle the FWD is less understeering than for RWD. The relation between the yaw torque and the understeer coefficient allows to understand this behaviour and opens-up the possibility for different yaw control strategies.     

Non-steady state modelling of wheel–rail contact problem

Among all the algorithms to solve the wheel–rail contact problem, Kalker's FastSim has become the most useful computation tool since it combines a low computational cost and enough precision for most of the typical railway dynamics problems. However, some types of dynamic problems require the use of a non-steady state analysis. Alonso and Giménez developed a non-stationary method based on FastSim, which provides both, sufficiently accurate results and a low computational cost. However, it presents some limitations; the method is developed for one time-dependent creepage and its accuracy for varying normal forces has not been checked. This article presents the required changes in order to deal with both problems and compares its results with those given by Kalker's Variational Method for rolling contact.     

A contact-area model for rail-pads connections in 2-D simulations: sensitivity analysis of train-induced vibrations

A numerical model to predict train-induced vibrations is presented. The dynamic computation considers mutual interactions in vehicle/track coupled systems by means of a finite and discrete elements method. The rail defects and the case of out-of-round wheels are considered. The dynamic interaction between the wheel-sets and the rail is accomplished by using the non-linear Hertzian model with hysteresis damping. A sensitivity analysis is done to evaluate the variables affecting more the maintenance costs. The rail–sleeper contact is assumed extended to an area-defined contact zone, rather than a single-point assumption which fits better real case studies. Experimental validations show how prediction fits well experimental data.
