A full information expression model for track irregularity based on stochastic harmonic functions in vehicle–turnout structure stochastic vibration analysis
摘要
Turnout irregularity significantly affects the stochastic vibration behavior of vehicle–turnout structures. This study proposes a fitting formula for the turnout irregularity spectrum and develops a turnout irregularity full information expression model (TIFIEM) using a stochastic harmonic function. The model is applied to vehicle–turnout structure stochastic vibration and reliability analysis. Findings suggest that the Hamming window method, with a window length of 4096 points, is optimal for estimating the turnout irregularity spectrum. It is recommended to fit the power spectral density (PSD) using a 5th-order polynomial for better accuracy. The TIFIEM effectively addresses randomness in amplitude, frequency, and phase. An analysis of 250 irregularity samples is sufficient for the desired accuracy. Additionally, the PSD amplitude at various frequency points follows a Chi-square distribution with 2° of freedom. Regions 3–7 m from the tip of the switch rail on the straight switch rail and 53–54 m on the point rail are most susceptible to wear. When the vehicle passes through the turnout at 300 km/h, the reliability of vehicle–turnout structures at the crossing panel decreases to 95.8%.
