Study on the influence of wheel polygon on the vibration characteristics of bogie system

Abstract

As one of the important core components of train running parts, the wheel rail related force will directly affect the vehicle running performance and passenger comfort. Take a high-speed train as the research object, the vehicle track coupling dynamic model is established. The influence of wheel polygon on the vibration characteristics of bogie system is analyzed through simulation. The results show that when the wheel polygon wear occurs, the effective value of lateral acceleration of polygonal wheel set axle box is about 18.9 % higher than that of normal wheel set axle box; at the same speed, with the increase of the wave depth of the wheel polygon, the effective values of the transverse and vertical acceleration of the axle box gradually increase; the effective value of axle box vertical vibration acceleration caused by wheel polygon with different amplitude increases first, then decreases and then increases with the change of vehicle speed. The effective value of axle box transverse and vertical acceleration caused by wheel polygon increases with the increase of wave depth or polygon order; the analysis shows that the polygonal wear of the wheel has a great impact on the vibration characteristics of the axle box and can cause the high-frequency vibration of the axle box.
