Abstract

Regarding double block ballastless track as research subject, three mechanical models were established, which include steel bar and concrete interaction mechanical model, spatial finite element static model of double block ballastless track, train-double block ballastless track vertical coupling dynamics model. According to concrete and steel bar stress time-dependant curves under axial even temperature and shrinkage load, temperature grads load and train load, fatigue load spectrum under coupling loads was obtained by using rain-flow counting method. Based on steel bar and concrete S-N curve, and Palmgren-Miner linear fatigue damage accumulation rule, track concrete layer fatigue life predicting model of double block ballastless track was established. Taking Changsha climatic condition for an example, the fatigue life of double block ballastless track is predicted, and the effects of design parameters to fatigue life are analyzed.
