Abstract
Wheel-rail interaction plays an important role in the study of railway engineering. The wheel-rail contact forces (WCFs) are the key factors in the models addressing wheel-rail interaction. However, it is sometimes difficult to be measured, so an indirect identification methodology is proposed in this paper. Based on an analytical model and measurement, the vertical WCF can be determined. Using measured rail accelerations as input data, a calculation program is developed. The vertical WCF and the excitation forces transmitted from the vehicle-rail system to the roadbed can be obtained. The latter forces are used to predict the train-induced ground-borne vibrations. A case study of predicting ground-borne vibration in Beijing Metro is presented to verify the effectiveness of this method. The results show that the vertical WCF can be obtained efficiently and accurately, and the predicted ground-borne vibrations have good agreement with the measured ones.
