PROBLEM : 1

1.Modifying the main parameters of the vehicle (bogie wheelbase, masses, primary and secondary stiffness / damping parameters) so to meet the following requirements.

a)Axle load in tare condition <= 110 kN

b)Linear critical speed at full load with wheel conicity 0.40 >= 140 km/h. Consider a maximum payload of 280 kN

An increase in the primary suspension stiffness increases the diagonal terms of the stiffness matrix.

Therefore, this measure is generally increasing the critical speed of the vehicle.

A higher wheel conicity lowers the critical speed of the vehicle.

PROBLEM : 2

Run one Multi Body Simulation (MBS) with the vehicle running in tare condition at 5-10 km/h on a curve with radius R=150m and track twist g=1‰ (1E-3)

Check that Nadal’s criterion is satisfied across the entire curve.

Y/Q DERAILMENT CRITERIA

Nadal’s criterion is widely used for flange derailment which generally occurs in curves. The wheels on the outer rail experience higher lateral forces to vertical forces. The poor vertical load equalization can be caused by large track twists and roll resonances. The derailment also gets aided by track irregularities.

PROBLEM 3

Analyse the running behaviour of the vehicle at full load in straight track at speed 60km/h and in a curve with radius R=150m , super elevation h=150 mm, considering the standard track irregularity in Sim-pack and wheel/rail profiles ORE S1002/UIC60 1:40. 

  • Check that the statistical maximum of the Y/Q ratio and ΣY remain within the limits prescribed by EN14363.

  • Check the wear number and analyse the effect of changing the longitudinal stiffness of the primary suspension.

WEAR NUMBER :

The wear number increases with increase in longitudinal stiffness and shows a trend of reduction for lower values of longitudinal stiffness of the primary suspension. Hence we can conclude that the wear number is directly proportional to the longitudinal stiffness of the primary suspension.

Lifetime for rail welded joints

We investigate rail lifetime in presence of crack at the rail web in the middle of two sleepers. The crack is in the neutral axis and it propagates according to mode KII, namely under high values of shear load.
