Abstract
Design reliability is analyzed for the interference fits of the railway wagon wheelset with 30 ton axle weigh. Aim focus on eliminating fretting fatigue damage of the wheelset. An extreme wheelset loads set is deduced by which can yields the thermal mechanical loads on the wheel same to the code AAR S 660. Integrated wheelset model of finite element method is applied to calculate the stresses on the fits to consider the physical fit relationship of wheelset, in which the rail pieces, wheels, axle, bearings, and adapters are fitted together by contact phases. It is revealed that the fits are all in the press stress states for the original design. But the stresses seem smaller than the least reasonable value for the reliable fits between wheels-axle. An improvement suggestion is provided to rise the fit scale to 0.23 mm equal to 0.01 percentage of the wheel-hub hole diameter. Calculation results verify that the press stresses have been controlled in the reasonable range.
