Summary

Currently the Chinese Electrical Multiple Unit (EMU) CRH1/2/3/5/CRH380A/B vehicles use three kinds the wheel profiles of LMA, CN and XP55. In practical operation, these current wheel-rail pairs meet the dynamic performance requirements, but so many wheel-rail pairs increase the difficulties in operation and maintenance management. To choose a more appropriate wheel profile and geometric parameters, the considering the feasibility of the EMU adopting identical wheel profiles is an important issue facing the high-speed train. Based on vehicle track system dynamics and the wheel-rail normal clearance correction calculation of the semi-Hertz rolling contact theory, a vehicle-track coupling dynamics model is established. Using this model the wheel-rail contact geometry and dynamic characteristic of the three main kinds EMU CRH2/3/5 are analysed adopting respectively; LMA/CN/XP55 wheel profile matching with the CHN60/m rail profile. Comprehensive assessment of the feasibility of the EMU adopting the identical wheel profiles to reduce the number of standard wheel profiles. The results show that: LMA/CHN60 pairs have contact points with uniform distribution, CN/CHN60 pairs have discontinuous contact points, XP55/CHN60 pairs have a small range of distribution of the contact points and jump points of contact. Car lateral stability and the critical velocity decrease when the three kinds EMU of CRH2/3/5 use two other wheel-rail pairs. Car lateral stability of CRH5 is the most affected by different wheel-rail pairs among the three kinds EMU of CRH2/3/5, the overall vehicle running safety worsens, so unification of the standard wheel profile of the EMU of CRH2/3/5 is not feasible.
