Post-derailment dynamic behavior of railway vehicles travelling on a railway bridge during an earthquake
2016
This study developed a post-derailment dynamic model of railway vehicles to investigate their post-derailment dynamic behavior when travelling on a railway bridge during an earthquake. The model is composed of three parts: multi-body dynamic model of the railway vehicle, a collision detection model, and a contact force model. The dynamic model considered all the various kinds of contacts that may occur during the derailment, such as wheel/track slab contacts, wheel/fastener contacts, and brake-disc/rail contacts. A collision detection model that was based on the tight-fitting oriented bounding box trees approach was adopted to detect the collision situations during the derailment. The contact force model was used to calculate the contact force based on a Hertz spring-damper and the Coulomb friction law. Using this model, the post-derailment dynamic behavior of railway vehicles travelling on a railway bridge experiencing earthquake excitations was investigated. First, a seismic response analysis of the rai...
