Summary
This paper investigates the dynamic response of the key components on vehicle and
track of ballastless high-speed railways under the excitation of short wavelength rail
corrugation. A high-speed vehicle-track coupled dynamic model is established with
vertical and lateral motion considered. The vehicle model is built with the
parameters of a high-speed vehicle. The track model is a ballastless track, in which
the vibration of slab is determined by modal superposition. Field measured rail
irregularity on corrugated rail is used in the simulation to introduce the high
frequency rail excitation. The model is used to simulate effects of the severity of
corrugation on the dynamic response of the vehicle-track system. The effect of
corrugation growth on rail/wheel contact force, wheelset acceleration, and dynamic
load on fastener are investigated to evaluate the effect of corrugation on vehicle and
track. Simulation results show that corrugation has a significant effect on the
dynamic response of the wheel and rail, bogie frame, and the fasteners.
