Introduction Over the last decade, China has constructed the largest high- speed railway network around the world. e mileage of high- speed railway with train running speed from 200 km/h to 350 km/h in China exceeds 29,000 km. Moreover, China plans to construct 38,000 km of passenger dedicated high-speed railway lines by 2025. However, a series of severe challenges including the wear problems of the high-speed wheel/rail systems have to be faced during the operation stage of Chinese high-speed railways. e wear problems of the Chinese high- speed railway include the wheel polygons, rail corrugation, wheel hollow wear, wheel flange wear, rail side wear, and uneven welds, among which the wheel uneven wear is of great concern [1]. With the aggravation of wheel hollow wear, the wheel-rail contact characteristics inevitably change, which then intensifies the high-speed wheel-rail interaction. Railway corridors in high-speed railways are extensively straightened through the addition of bridges. So, the train- track-bridge dynamic interaction is of great interest in research field of high-speed railways. In fact, the train, the track, and the bridge are an integrated dynamic system, in which the train and the track are coupled by the wheel-rail contact relationship, and the track and the bridge are linked through the track-bridge interaction. As a link connecting the train and the railway infrastructure, the wheel-rail contact relationship plays a crucial role in the high-speed train-track-bridge dynamic interaction. erefore, the wheel-rail uneven wear not only affects the quality of train operation, but also influences the vibration characteristics of tracks and bridges. Herein, we present a study of the high- speed train-track-bridge dynamic interaction due to the wheel hollow wear, where the wheel-rail contact non- linearities caused by wheel uneven wear are fully considered. “Using bridge instead of subgrade” has been widely used in the construction of Chinese high-speed railway. Bridges play a vital role in high-speed railway infrastructure, ac- counting for more than 50% of total high-speed railway mileage in China, because the use of bridges can avoid the interruption of existing lines and occupy land.

1 Introduction

Over the last decade China has constructed the largest high-speed railway network around the world(emileage of high-speed railway with train running speed from 200 kmh to350 kmh in China exceeds 29000 kmMoreover China plansto construct 38000 km of passenger dedicated high-speedrailway lines by 2025 However a series of severe challengesincluding the wear problems of the high-speed wheelrailsystems have to be faced during the operation stage of Chinesehigh-speed railways (e wear problems of the Chinese high-speed railway include the wheel polygons rail corrugationwheel hollow wear wheel flange wear rail side wear anduneven welds among which the wheel uneven wear is of greatconcern [1] With the aggravation of wheel hollow wear thewheel-rail contact characteristics inevitably change whichthen intensifies the high-speed wheel-rail interaction

Railway corridors in high-speed railways are extensivelystraightened through the addition of bridges So the train-track-bridge dynamic interaction is of great interest in

research field of high-speed railways In fact the train thetrack and the bridge are an integrated dynamic system inwhich the train and the track are coupled by the wheel-railcontact relationship and the track and the bridge are linkedthrough the track-bridge interaction As a link connectingthe train and the railway infrastructure the wheel-railcontact relationship plays a crucial role in the high-speedtrain-track-bridge dynamic interaction (erefore thewheel-rail uneven wear not only affects the quality of trainoperation but also influences the vibration characteristics oftracks and bridges Herein we present a study of the high-speed train-track-bridge dynamic interaction due to thewheel hollow wear where the wheel-rail contact non-linearities caused by wheel uneven wear are fully considered

increase of speed of passenger trains and because of the factthat taller and longer bridges are being built the consid-eration of train-track-bridge interaction becomes moresignificant [2] Growing attentions have been paid to thestudy of train-track-bridge coupled vibration for the last fewyears [3ndash10] For example Zhai et al [2] proposed an ef-ficient and practical theoretical model for the analysis of thetrain-track-bridge interaction which takes into account avariety of nonlinear factors aiming to provide a method foranalyzing and assessing the running safety and the comfortof high-speed trains passing through bridges [2ndash4] Zhanget al [5 6] reported a new intersystem iteration method fordynamic analysis of the coupled train-bridge system In thismethod the dynamic responses of train subsystem andbridge subsystem are solved separately the iteration withintime-step is avoided the computation memory is saved andit is convenient to use the commercial structural analysissoftware for bridge subsystem Li et al [8] put forward theinteractive method by using the commercial finite-element(FE) software ANSYS and multibody dynamics (MBD)software SIMPACK to simulate the vehicle-bridge coupledvibration It is shown that the interactive method has highcomputational efficiency and good convergence rate forvarious bridge and the vehicle-bridge coupled vibrationanalysis can be conducted well and followed conveniently byother researchers Melo et al [9] developed a numericalvibration prediction scheme for train-bridge systems withFE software ABAQUS and numerical software MATLABAnd the experimental response obtained from a dynamictest under railway traffic revealed a good agreement with thenumerical response Antolın et al [10] compared four dif-ferent wheel-rail contact models (nonlinear linear rigidand virtual path) in vehicle-bridge coupling vibration (enumerical investigation found that the forces obtained bynon-linear wheel-rail contact model are generally larger thanthose of other three models mainly because frictional slipexist in the real wheel-rail contact conditions Arvidssonet al [11] established a 2D train-track-bridge interactionmodel that allows for wheel-rail contact loss to analyze thedynamic performance of high-speed trains running onnonballasted bridges in Europe

More and more research focus on train-track-bridgesafety performance Dhanasekar et al [12 13] studied theimpact coefficient and local deformation of long-span sus-pension bridges and other bridges under actual train loadsZhang et al [14] carried out a detailed study on the safety oftrain operation due to the settlement of high-speed railwaybridges and put forward the corresponding safety limit ofpier settlement Zeng et al [15ndash18] applied the actualrecorded seismic wave data or pseudo-excitation method(PEM) to analyze the responses of train-track-bridge systemunder the excitation of seismic waves Accordingly somepeople have studied how to reduce bridge vibration such astuned mass damper (TMD) [19 20] install fluid viscousdampers [21 22] and magnetorheological damper equip-ment on bridge structure [23] Ling et al [24 25] predictedthe post-derailment behavior of a freight train composed ofone locomotive and several wagons on bridge caused bytrack irregularity based on a coupled finite-element-

multibody dynamics (FE-MBD) theory Rocha et al [26 27]assessed the train running safety passing through bridgesbased on the probability density evolution method Otherstudies include train-bridge coupled simulation of a com-posite structure bridge [28] train-bridge coupled vibrationanalysis considering environmental wind loads [29 30] andthe interaction between the train-bridge system and thefoundation-soil system by the substructure method [31]

Besides numerous scholars have done a lot of work onthe wheel wear and its influence on railway vehicle dy-namics Polach and Nicklisch [32] presented a new standardto identify wheel-rail contact geometry parameters related tovehicle behavior (e new parameter called contact con-centration index makes up for the shortcomings of tradi-tional equivalent conicity and assess new proposals for wheeland rail profiles regarding their wear in service Shi et al [33]demonstrated the wheel wear evolution and related vehicledynamics of Chinese high-speed trains with an operatingdistance of around two million kilometers by a long-termexperimental test Ren [34] proposed a three-dimensionalwheel flat model considering the length width and depth ofthe flat spot (us it is more in line with the real wheeldamage state (e results indicated that the width the lengthof the wheel flat and the widthlength ratio have an obviousinfluence on the wheelrail impact dynamics

However few scholars pay attention to the influence ofwheel uneven wear on the dynamic response of high-speedtrain-track-bridge system In the traditional studies of train-track-bridge interaction the wheel and rail profiles wereconsidered as new profiles (is is because the wheel-railrolling contact algorithms adopted in the traditional train-track-bridge interaction models are difficult to consider thenonlinear contact characteristics of uneven worn wheel andrail profiles (erefore a nonlinear rigid-flexible coupledmodel of high-speed train-track-bridge interaction is for-mulated (is modelling is based on the train-track-bridgeinteraction theory the wheel-rail nonelliptical multipointcontact theory and the modified CraigndashBampton modalsynthesis method (e effects of wheel-rail multipoint andconformal contact behaviors caused by the wheel hollowwear are fully considered (e proposed model is thenapplied to predict the vertical and lateral responses of thehigh-speed train-track-bridge system under new and wornwheel profiles in which a high-speed train passing through along-span continuous girder bridge at speed of 350 kmh isconsidered Based on the measured high-speed train wornwheel profiles the wheel-rail contact geometry of wheelprofiles at different mileage was analyzed (e influences ofwheel hollow wear on vibration responses of the high-speedtrain-track-bridge system are reported

21 High-Speed Train Model A high-speed train funda-mentally consists of car bodies bogies and wheel sets ewheel sets are connected with the bogie frame by springs anddampers of the primary suspension system and the bogie isconnected to the car body by a joint through the secondarysuspension system including air springs lateral and verticaldampers antihunting dampers and lateral stop Figure 2depicts the dimension of wheelbase bogie center distanceand adjacent wheelbase of CRH2C high-speed train used inthis paper

After obtaining the clearance and normal contact forceof the wheel-rail contact the calculation of tangential creepforces is carried out based on the FASTSIM algorithm byKalker [41] e use of FASTSIM is not only limited toelliptical contact patch but also can obtain good results inmultipoint contact conditions

242 Track-Bridge Contact Model For a nonballasted trackthe bridge supports the track structure via the cement as-phalt layers under the track slabs In this study the cementasphalt layers were represented by uniformly distributednonlinear spring and damper elements (refer to Figure 1(b))erefore the track-bridge contact force ftb can be calculatedby

In the above equation Ksh is the nonlinear stinessmatrix of the cement asphalt layer Csh is the nonlinearviscous damping matrix and uts is the track slab displace-ment vector e detailed derivation process has been givenin reference [2]

25 Validation of the Model To verify the accuracy of theproposed train-track-bridge model the simulation dataobtained with the current model is compared with the ledmeasured data as shown in Figures 6ndash8 e eld tests werecarried out on the Tianjin-Qinhuangdao passenger high-speed railway in China A total of 13 trains have beenmeasured e rail displacement and acceleration weremeasured at the middle span of the 32m double-tracksimply supported PC girders with box sections e trainsare reorganized and the speed range is 200ndash350 kmh Be-cause the track irregularities of the tested lines were notobtained the German low-disturbance track spectrum wasapplied in the simulations Considering the dierence be-tween track irregularity samples used in simulation and theactual track irregularities the accelerations of axle box andbogie frame are processed by low-pass ltering and the cut-o frequency is 300Hz From the comparison of simulationand test results of the bogie frame acceleration and axle box

Figure 10 shows the wear distribution along the wheelwidth for dierent travelling distances It indicates that themain wear region on the wheel tread concentrates on thearea ranging from minus 20 to 20mm around the nominal rollingcircle and the wear in the ange area is relatively light isregion is the main contact region between the wheel and therail With the train travelling distance increase the wheelwear depth in this region aggravates gradually According tothe eld measurement results the maximum wheel weardepth of the train with travelling distances of 83000 km132000 km 169000 km and 192000 km attain 034mm052mm 064mm and 072mm respectively as shown in

Figure 10 e region of the worn wheel proles near thenominal rolling circle presents an obvious concave shapewhich substantially aects the wheel-rail contact geometrye location of the maximum wheel hollow wear depthappears at about +3mm from the nominal rolling circleradius of the wheel prole

It should be noted that the wheel hollow wear hasreached the limit regulated by Railway Electric MultipleUnits Operation and Maintaining Regulation [43] aftertravelling about 210000 km and the wheel tread of the testedhigh-speed train is required to be reproled at that time

and new profiles were carried out respectively (e newCHN60 profile was applied in these analyses Figure 11shows the location and layout of contact points of newand worn wheel profiles under different travel mileage Inactual operation of high-speed trains the wheel set lateraldisplacement is generally within the range of 10mm so thelateral displacement in Figure 11 was set at minus 10sim10mm

It is easy to see that the distribution of wheel-rail contactpoints is concentrated when the new wheel profile matcheswith the new CHN60 profile In this case the distribution ofwheel-rail contact points near the wheel flange side is sparseand uniform which is an ideal one-point contact situationBut when the wheel travel distance is increased to 83000 kmthe wheel-rail contact status evolved from the one-pointcontact to the multipoint contact and the distribution ofwheel-rail contact points appears in a larger area (e wornwheel-rail contact situations of the wheel travel distanceincreased to 132000 and 169000 km are similar to that of83000 km Compared with the new wheel-rail contact sit-uation the worn wheel-rail contact points are more dis-persed and nonuniform (e contact points at the wheelflange area increase which also slightly shift to the insidecorner of the railsWhen the wheel travel distance is increasedto 192000 km the worn wheel-rail system has an obvioustwo-point contact trend Two concentrated wheel-rail contact

point areas appear in the center and inside corner of the rails(is means the wheel hollow wear greatly changes the wheel-rail contact status resulting in a very dispersed and non-uniform distribution of wheel-rail contact points Under sucha severe condition the wheel-rail two-point contact behaviorwill occurr frequently It should be noted that the wheel-railtwo-point contact or multipoint contact behavior will in-tensify wheel-rail interaction and then increase the wear anddamage of wheel and rail profiles

(e rolling radius difference equivalent conicity contactangle and contact angle parameters are other four importantwheel-rail rolling contact geometric parameters It can beseen from Figure 12(a) that when the new wheel-rail profileis matched the rolling radius difference increases slowlywith wheel set lateral displacement less than 7mm Whenthe wheel set displacement is greater than 7mm the rollingradius difference increases sharply At this time the wheel-rail contact point approaches the wheel flange and the curveof rolling circle radius difference presents a nonlinear changelaw But for the worn wheels the fluctuation of rolling radiusdifference increases obviously when the lateral wheel setdisplacement is in the range of 1ndash9mm (e variationtendency of the rolling radius difference of the wheels withtravel distances of 83000 and 169000 km are similar andthe fluctuation of the case with travel distances of192000 km is the most intense

For the new profile the equivalent conicity Figure 12(b))keeps within 01 and changes smoothly when the wheel setdisplacement is less than 8mm But the equivalent conicityof the worn wheel profiles are obviously larger than that ofthe new profile when the wheel set displacement is largerthan 1mm(e equivalent conicity of the worn wheel profilewith travel distances of 192000 km is larger than that ofother cases when the wheel set displacement is in the rangeof 1ndash9mm (e equivalent conicity with a wheel set dis-placement of 15mm is equal to 028 According to theKlingel principle when lateral span and rolling radius of awheel set are kept constant an increasing equivalent conicitywill increase the bogie hunting motion frequency and finallydecrease the vehicle running stability

(e variation of contact angle and contact angle pa-rameter are shown in Figures 12(c) and 12(d) (e contactangle parameter ε is used for linear approximation of thefunction E(y) on the interval of the lateral shift of the wheelset

range of contact angle becomes larger and there are manysudden changes when the lateral wheel set displacement isnegative With the increasing train travel mileage thecontact characteristics between wheel and rail deterioratewhich led to the increase in the wheel-rail contact angle evariation trend of wheel-rail contact angle parameters issimilar to that of the contact angle

e above results show that the wheel hollow wear has agreat inuence on the geometric parameters of the wheel-railcontact which can aggravate the wheel-rail interaction andnally aect the train-track-bridge interactions

4 Results and Discussions

e proposed model shown in Section 2 was applied topredict the vertical and lateral responses of the high-speedtrain-track-bridge system under new and worn wheel pro-les in which a Chinese high-speed train passing through along-span continuous girder bridge (see Figure 13) at thespeed of 350 kmh was considered Based on the measuredhigh-speed train worn wheel proles shown in Section 3 andnumerical simulations the inuences of wheel hollow wearon vibration responses of the high-speed train-track-bridgesystem are discussed

41 Illustration of the Bridge e Chengjiang bridge locatedin Hechi City of China was selected as example It is a super-large continuous concrete girder bridge on the Nanning-Guizhou high-speed railway in which the bridge span is(915 + 180 + 915) m and the approach bridge is a 24-mprestressed concrete simply supported bridge A double-track railway is positioned on the bridge and the transversedistance between the railway lines is 50m e bridge bodyis mainly made of C55 concrete and the arch ribs are madeof composite materials and steel cables e overall size ofthe bridge is shown in Figure 13e second span box girderof the bridge contains transverse webs which can enhance

the stiness of the whole bridge structure e cross sectionand the main dimensions of the girder are shown inFigure 14

42 FE Model of the Chengjiang Bridge In the FE modellingof the Chengjiang bridge several types of elements wereapplied to simulate the distinct parts of the bridge Specif-ically 3D two-node EulerndashBernoulli beam elements(BEAM188) were used to simulate the arch ribs transversestructures and diagonal structures based on the actual shapeand geometric dimensions of the cross-section propertiesTwo-node uniaxial link (LINKl0) elements were used tomodel the bridge cables with three translational DOFs (pernode x y and z) Elastic four-node axisymmetric quadri-lateral shell elements (SHELL63) with both membrane andbending capabilities were used to simulate the bridge webdeck and other structures Shell element is not suitable forthe middle and two ends because of their large thickness Sosolid element (SOLID185) is used to simulate these partsConnection between dierent types of cells is accomplishedby coupling nodes with CERIGmethod which can eliminatethe calculation error caused by dierent types of elementsDOFs inconsistency

According to the constraints prescribed in the bridgebearing arrangement (see Figure 15) the girder body and pierare connected by the node coupled method e arrow rep-resents the release direction of the DOFs whereas the DOF inthe arrow direction is not constrained For example a singleldquordquo represents that both horizontal and vertical DOFs areconstrained and xed e overall layout of the bridge FEmodel is shown in Figure 16 e model consists of 98118elements and 99938 nodes which meets the requirement ofcalculation accuracy through the numerical testse two endsof the bridge were connected to the 24 m-length simplesupported beam bridges ree-span simple supported beambridges were arranged on each side which can be simulated asconventional beam elements and coupled with the nodes at

43 Results Discussion and Comparisons Based on theproposed high-speed train-track-bridgemodel the influenceof wheel hollow wear on the vibration characteristics of thetrain-track-bridge system is investigated and presented inthis section Here the new profile and the worn profile withtravel distance of 192000 km were taken as the input wheelprofiles Since the highest operational speed of high-speedtrains in China is 350 kmh at present the train speed in thesimulations was also set to this value (e time domainsample of track irregularity obtained from the spectraltransformation of low-disturbance track of German high-speed railway was applied

Figures 17ndash19 show the wheel-rail forces of high-speedtrains with new and worn profiles in time and frequencydomains Figure 17(a) shows that wheel wear has a certaineffect on wheel-rail force After severe wheel wear it willincrease the impact between wheel and rail leading to asharp increase in some peak values of wheel-rail forceFigure 17(b) shows that wheel wear has a greater impact onthe lateral force of wheel and rail than the vertical force ofwheel and rail (e amplitude of the lateral force of wheeland rail wearing wheel increases obviously (e maximumwheel-rail vertical force before and after wheel wear changedfrom 22158 kN to 23490 kN which increased by 601(emaximum wheel-rail lateral force before and after wheelwear increased from 984 kN to 1438 kN which increased by461

In the frequency domain wheel wear results in a slightincrease in the high frequency of wheel-rail vertical force as

shown in Figure 18 In the meanwhile the increase in wheel-rail lateral force is mainly reflected in the middle and highfrequencies from Figure 19 (is shows that the wear ofwheel material mainly affects the wheel-rail force in themiddle and high frequencies domain but has little effect onthe low frequency wheel-rail force

(e dynamic responses of the bridge with initial (new)wheel profile and worn profile at 350 kmh speed are plottedin Figures 20ndash25 (e vertical and lateral displacements ofthe midsection of the main span are shown in Figure 20 Itreveals that wheel wear has little effect on the bridge dis-placement as the bridge displacement of the cases with wornand new profiles are basically the same (e vertical dis-placement curves are basically the same before and after thewheel profile changes and the maximum values maintain atabout 36mm (e lateral displacement curves fluctuateslightly but the amplitudes are quite small the maximumvalues are stable around 011mm

Figures 21 and 22 depict the time histories of bridgevertical and lateral displacement of the left and right-sidespans Similar to the dynamic response of the main spanwheel wear has no obvious effect on the vertical displace-ment of the bridge while small difference is found in thelateral displacements (e vertical displacement peak valuesof left and right span attain about 2mm and the lateraldisplacement peak values fluctuates around 006mm

Figures 23 and 24 display the time domain diagram ofbridge vertical and lateral acceleration of the main span Itis not difficult to observe that the wheel wear has obviouseffects on the vibration acceleration of the bridge (emaximum vertical accelerations of the cases with new andworn profiles were 00525ms2 and 00643ms2 re-spectively which increased by 231 (e maximumvalues of lateral accelerations of the cases with new andworn profiles are 00138ms2 and 00222ms2 re-spectively with an increase of 609(e results show thatthe responses of bridge accelerations obtained with themodels considering the wheel worn profiles are higherthan those obtained by the models without consideringwheel wear

Figure 25 shows the PSD diagram of the bridge verticaland lateral accelerations presented in Figures 23 and 24 Forthe vertical acceleration the main frequencies appeararound 053Hz 759Hz 229Hz and 269Hz But there isno obvious difference between the PSDs of the cases withnew and worn profiles (is means that the wheel hollow

bridge under different wheel worn profiles can be sum-marized as follows

(1) (e wheel hollow wear has little effect on the dy-namic displacement of the long-span bridge (ereason should be that the bridge main girder has alarge overall stiffness as it is made of high-strengthconcrete material thus the displacement of thebridge is mainly related to the axle load and dis-tribution characteristics of the train

(2) (e maximum bridge accelerations increase fast inlateral and vertical directions with the wheel weardepth increase It shows that both vertical and lateralbridge accelerations are greatly affected by thechange of wheel profile

5 Conclusions

(is paper reported a study of the high-speed train-track-bridge dynamic interactions considering the wheel-railcontact nonlinearity due to hollow worn wheel profiles Anonlinear rigid-flexible coupled model of a high-speed traintravelling on a long-span continuous girder bridge wasestablished (e accuracy of the model is validated bycomparing with the measured data (e vertical and lateraldynamic responses of the high-speed train-track-bridgesystem under new and worn wheel profiles were discussed

(e simulation results have shown that the wheel hollowwear of high-speed trains has a great influence on thegeometric parameters of the wheel-rail contact which canaggravate the wheel-rail interaction and finally deterioratesthe train-track-bridge interactions (e wheel wear has littleeffect on the bridge dynamic displacement However thebridge vertical and lateral accelerations increase with theaccumulation of the wheel hollow wear It is suggested thatthe influence of worn wheel-rail profiles should be con-sidered in the dynamic analysis of train-track-bridge in-teraction during the stage of bridge structure design andsafety assessment

increase of speed of passenger trains and because of the factthat taller and longer bridges are being built the consid-eration of train-track-bridge interaction becomes moresignificant [2] Growing attentions have been paid to thestudy of train-track-bridge coupled vibration for the last fewyears [3ndash10] For example Zhai et al [2] proposed an ef-ficient and practical theoretical model for the analysis of thetrain-track-bridge interaction which takes into account avariety of nonlinear factors aiming to provide a method foranalyzing and assessing the running safety and the comfortof high-speed trains passing through bridges [2ndash4] Zhanget al [5 6] reported a new intersystem iteration method fordynamic analysis of the coupled train-bridge system In thismethod the dynamic responses of train subsystem andbridge subsystem are solved separately the iteration withintime-step is avoided the computation memory is saved andit is convenient to use the commercial structural analysissoftware for bridge subsystem Li et al [8] put forward theinteractive method by using the commercial finite-element(FE) software ANSYS and multibody dynamics (MBD)software SIMPACK to simulate the vehicle-bridge coupledvibration It is shown that the interactive method has highcomputational efficiency and good convergence rate forvarious bridge and the vehicle-bridge coupled vibrationanalysis can be conducted well and followed conveniently byother researchers Melo et al [9] developed a numericalvibration prediction scheme for train-bridge systems withFE software ABAQUS and numerical software MATLABAnd the experimental response obtained from a dynamictest under railway traffic revealed a good agreement with thenumerical response Antolın et al [10] compared four dif-ferent wheel-rail contact models (nonlinear linear rigidand virtual path) in vehicle-bridge coupling vibration (enumerical investigation found that the forces obtained bynon-linear wheel-rail contact model are generally larger thanthose of other three models mainly because frictional slipexist in the real wheel-rail contact conditions Arvidssonet al [11] established a 2D train-track-bridge interactionmodel that allows for wheel-rail contact loss to analyze thedynamic performance of high-speed trains running onnonballasted bridges in Europe

More and more research focus on train-track-bridgesafety performance Dhanasekar et al [12 13] studied theimpact coefficient and local deformation of long-span sus-pension bridges and other bridges under actual train loadsZhang et al [14] carried out a detailed study on the safety oftrain operation due to the settlement of high-speed railwaybridges and put forward the corresponding safety limit ofpier settlement Zeng et al [15ndash18] applied the actualrecorded seismic wave data or pseudo-excitation method(PEM) to analyze the responses of train-track-bridge systemunder the excitation of seismic waves Accordingly somepeople have studied how to reduce bridge vibration such astuned mass damper (TMD) [19 20] install fluid viscousdampers [21 22] and magnetorheological damper equip-ment on bridge structure [23] Ling et al [24 25] predictedthe post-derailment behavior of a freight train composed ofone locomotive and several wagons on bridge caused bytrack irregularity based on a coupled finite-element-

multibody dynamics (FE-MBD) theory Rocha et al [26 27]assessed the train running safety passing through bridgesbased on the probability density evolution method Otherstudies include train-bridge coupled simulation of a com-posite structure bridge [28] train-bridge coupled vibrationanalysis considering environmental wind loads [29 30] andthe interaction between the train-bridge system and thefoundation-soil system by the substructure method [31]

Besides numerous scholars have done a lot of work onthe wheel wear and its influence on railway vehicle dy-namics Polach and Nicklisch [32] presented a new standardto identify wheel-rail contact geometry parameters related tovehicle behavior (e new parameter called contact con-centration index makes up for the shortcomings of tradi-tional equivalent conicity and assess new proposals for wheeland rail profiles regarding their wear in service Shi et al [33]demonstrated the wheel wear evolution and related vehicledynamics of Chinese high-speed trains with an operatingdistance of around two million kilometers by a long-termexperimental test Ren [34] proposed a three-dimensionalwheel flat model considering the length width and depth ofthe flat spot (us it is more in line with the real wheeldamage state (e results indicated that the width the lengthof the wheel flat and the widthlength ratio have an obviousinfluence on the wheelrail impact dynamics

However few scholars pay attention to the influence ofwheel uneven wear on the dynamic response of high-speedtrain-track-bridge system In the traditional studies of train-track-bridge interaction the wheel and rail profiles wereconsidered as new profiles (is is because the wheel-railrolling contact algorithms adopted in the traditional train-track-bridge interaction models are difficult to consider thenonlinear contact characteristics of uneven worn wheel andrail profiles (erefore a nonlinear rigid-flexible coupledmodel of high-speed train-track-bridge interaction is for-mulated (is modelling is based on the train-track-bridgeinteraction theory the wheel-rail nonelliptical multipointcontact theory and the modified CraigndashBampton modalsynthesis method (e effects of wheel-rail multipoint andconformal contact behaviors caused by the wheel hollowwear are fully considered (e proposed model is thenapplied to predict the vertical and lateral responses of thehigh-speed train-track-bridge system under new and wornwheel profiles in which a high-speed train passing through along-span continuous girder bridge at speed of 350 kmh isconsidered Based on the measured high-speed train wornwheel profiles the wheel-rail contact geometry of wheelprofiles at different mileage was analyzed (e influences ofwheel hollow wear on vibration responses of the high-speedtrain-track-bridge system are reported

2 Numerical Model

21 High-Speed Train Model A high-speed train funda-mentally consists of car bodies bogies and wheel sets ewheel sets are connected with the bogie frame by springs anddampers of the primary suspension system and the bogie isconnected to the car body by a joint through the secondarysuspension system including air springs lateral and verticaldampers antihunting dampers and lateral stop Figure 2depicts the dimension of wheelbase bogie center distanceand adjacent wheelbase of CRH2C high-speed train used inthis paper

24 Contact Models

241 Wheel-Rail Contact Model A wheel-rail nonellipticalmultipoint contact model proposed by Kik-Piotrowski[39 40] is applied to connect the vehicle subsystem and thetrack subsystem (e Kik-Piotrowski method is a non-Hertzian wheel-rail contact approach based on the virtualpenetration theory It is assumed that the shape of the wheel-rail contact patch can be directly determined by the wheeland rail profiles and the amount of interpenetration (ismethod can deal with the complex contact situations such asthe multipoints and conformal contact conditions caused bywheel-rail profile wear It is assumed that the normal contactstress pz is the semielliptical in the rolling direction of thewheel set

After obtaining the clearance and normal contact forceof the wheel-rail contact the calculation of tangential creepforces is carried out based on the FASTSIM algorithm byKalker [41] e use of FASTSIM is not only limited toelliptical contact patch but also can obtain good results inmultipoint contact conditions

242 Track-Bridge Contact Model For a nonballasted trackthe bridge supports the track structure via the cement as-phalt layers under the track slabs In this study the cementasphalt layers were represented by uniformly distributednonlinear spring and damper elements (refer to Figure 1(b))erefore the track-bridge contact force ftb can be calculatedby

f tb Ksh uts minus ub( ) + Csh _uts minus _ub( ) (17)

In the above equation Ksh is the nonlinear stinessmatrix of the cement asphalt layer Csh is the nonlinearviscous damping matrix and uts is the track slab displace-ment vector e detailed derivation process has been givenin reference [2]

25 Validation of the Model To verify the accuracy of theproposed train-track-bridge model the simulation dataobtained with the current model is compared with the ledmeasured data as shown in Figures 6ndash8 e eld tests werecarried out on the Tianjin-Qinhuangdao passenger high-speed railway in China A total of 13 trains have beenmeasured e rail displacement and acceleration weremeasured at the middle span of the 32m double-tracksimply supported PC girders with box sections e trainsare reorganized and the speed range is 200ndash350 kmh Be-cause the track irregularities of the tested lines were notobtained the German low-disturbance track spectrum wasapplied in the simulations Considering the dierence be-tween track irregularity samples used in simulation and theactual track irregularities the accelerations of axle box andbogie frame are processed by low-pass ltering and the cut-o frequency is 300Hz From the comparison of simulationand test results of the bogie frame acceleration and axle box

acceleration (Figures 6 and 7) the simulation results are ingood agreement with the test results Figure 8 is the com-parison of the measured and calculated displacement andacceleration of the rails e simulation results are close tothe measured data Overall the errors between the resultsobtained by eld test and simulation are negligible andhence the proposed model can be reliable and reasonable

3 Variation of Wheel-Rail ContactGeometry due to Wheel Hollow Wear

31 Evolution of the Hollow Wear e evolution of wheelproles of a Chinese high-speed train is rst investigatedbased on the data from a long-term tracking tests con-centrating on the natural wear process of high-speed trainwheels [42] Figure 9 compares several typical worn wheelproles with dierent travelling distances From the changesof the proles at the nominal rolling circle radius it can beclearly observed that the wheel hollow wear depth graduallyincreases with an increase in train operating mileage e

Figure 10 shows the wear distribution along the wheelwidth for dierent travelling distances It indicates that themain wear region on the wheel tread concentrates on thearea ranging from minus 20 to 20mm around the nominal rollingcircle and the wear in the ange area is relatively light isregion is the main contact region between the wheel and therail With the train travelling distance increase the wheelwear depth in this region aggravates gradually According tothe eld measurement results the maximum wheel weardepth of the train with travelling distances of 83000 km132000 km 169000 km and 192000 km attain 034mm052mm 064mm and 072mm respectively as shown in

Figure 10 e region of the worn wheel proles near thenominal rolling circle presents an obvious concave shapewhich substantially aects the wheel-rail contact geometrye location of the maximum wheel hollow wear depthappears at about +3mm from the nominal rolling circleradius of the wheel prole

It should be noted that the wheel hollow wear hasreached the limit regulated by Railway Electric MultipleUnits Operation and Maintaining Regulation [43] aftertravelling about 210000 km and the wheel tread of the testedhigh-speed train is required to be reproled at that time

and new profiles were carried out respectively (e newCHN60 profile was applied in these analyses Figure 11shows the location and layout of contact points of newand worn wheel profiles under different travel mileage Inactual operation of high-speed trains the wheel set lateraldisplacement is generally within the range of 10mm so thelateral displacement in Figure 11 was set at minus 10sim10mm

It is easy to see that the distribution of wheel-rail contactpoints is concentrated when the new wheel profile matcheswith the new CHN60 profile In this case the distribution ofwheel-rail contact points near the wheel flange side is sparseand uniform which is an ideal one-point contact situationBut when the wheel travel distance is increased to 83000 kmthe wheel-rail contact status evolved from the one-pointcontact to the multipoint contact and the distribution ofwheel-rail contact points appears in a larger area (e wornwheel-rail contact situations of the wheel travel distanceincreased to 132000 and 169000 km are similar to that of83000 km Compared with the new wheel-rail contact sit-uation the worn wheel-rail contact points are more dis-persed and nonuniform (e contact points at the wheelflange area increase which also slightly shift to the insidecorner of the railsWhen the wheel travel distance is increasedto 192000 km the worn wheel-rail system has an obvioustwo-point contact trend Two concentrated wheel-rail contact

point areas appear in the center and inside corner of the rails(is means the wheel hollow wear greatly changes the wheel-rail contact status resulting in a very dispersed and non-uniform distribution of wheel-rail contact points Under sucha severe condition the wheel-rail two-point contact behaviorwill occurr frequently It should be noted that the wheel-railtwo-point contact or multipoint contact behavior will in-tensify wheel-rail interaction and then increase the wear anddamage of wheel and rail profiles

(e rolling radius difference equivalent conicity contactangle and contact angle parameters are other four importantwheel-rail rolling contact geometric parameters It can beseen from Figure 12(a) that when the new wheel-rail profileis matched the rolling radius difference increases slowlywith wheel set lateral displacement less than 7mm Whenthe wheel set displacement is greater than 7mm the rollingradius difference increases sharply At this time the wheel-rail contact point approaches the wheel flange and the curveof rolling circle radius difference presents a nonlinear changelaw But for the worn wheels the fluctuation of rolling radiusdifference increases obviously when the lateral wheel setdisplacement is in the range of 1ndash9mm (e variationtendency of the rolling radius difference of the wheels withtravel distances of 83000 and 169000 km are similar andthe fluctuation of the case with travel distances of192000 km is the most intense

For the new profile the equivalent conicity Figure 12(b))keeps within 01 and changes smoothly when the wheel setdisplacement is less than 8mm But the equivalent conicityof the worn wheel profiles are obviously larger than that ofthe new profile when the wheel set displacement is largerthan 1mm(e equivalent conicity of the worn wheel profilewith travel distances of 192000 km is larger than that ofother cases when the wheel set displacement is in the rangeof 1ndash9mm (e equivalent conicity with a wheel set dis-placement of 15mm is equal to 028 According to theKlingel principle when lateral span and rolling radius of awheel set are kept constant an increasing equivalent conicitywill increase the bogie hunting motion frequency and finallydecrease the vehicle running stability

(e variation of contact angle and contact angle pa-rameter are shown in Figures 12(c) and 12(d) (e contactangle parameter ε is used for linear approximation of thefunction E(y) on the interval of the lateral shift of the wheelset

E(y) βl(y) minus βl(y)

range of contact angle becomes larger and there are manysudden changes when the lateral wheel set displacement isnegative With the increasing train travel mileage thecontact characteristics between wheel and rail deterioratewhich led to the increase in the wheel-rail contact angle evariation trend of wheel-rail contact angle parameters issimilar to that of the contact angle

e above results show that the wheel hollow wear has agreat inuence on the geometric parameters of the wheel-railcontact which can aggravate the wheel-rail interaction andnally aect the train-track-bridge interactions

4 Results and Discussions

e proposed model shown in Section 2 was applied topredict the vertical and lateral responses of the high-speedtrain-track-bridge system under new and worn wheel pro-les in which a Chinese high-speed train passing through along-span continuous girder bridge (see Figure 13) at thespeed of 350 kmh was considered Based on the measuredhigh-speed train worn wheel proles shown in Section 3 andnumerical simulations the inuences of wheel hollow wearon vibration responses of the high-speed train-track-bridgesystem are discussed

41 Illustration of the Bridge e Chengjiang bridge locatedin Hechi City of China was selected as example It is a super-large continuous concrete girder bridge on the Nanning-Guizhou high-speed railway in which the bridge span is(915 + 180 + 915) m and the approach bridge is a 24-mprestressed concrete simply supported bridge A double-track railway is positioned on the bridge and the transversedistance between the railway lines is 50m e bridge bodyis mainly made of C55 concrete and the arch ribs are madeof composite materials and steel cables e overall size ofthe bridge is shown in Figure 13e second span box girderof the bridge contains transverse webs which can enhance

the stiness of the whole bridge structure e cross sectionand the main dimensions of the girder are shown inFigure 14

42 FE Model of the Chengjiang Bridge In the FE modellingof the Chengjiang bridge several types of elements wereapplied to simulate the distinct parts of the bridge Specif-ically 3D two-node EulerndashBernoulli beam elements(BEAM188) were used to simulate the arch ribs transversestructures and diagonal structures based on the actual shapeand geometric dimensions of the cross-section propertiesTwo-node uniaxial link (LINKl0) elements were used tomodel the bridge cables with three translational DOFs (pernode x y and z) Elastic four-node axisymmetric quadri-lateral shell elements (SHELL63) with both membrane andbending capabilities were used to simulate the bridge webdeck and other structures Shell element is not suitable forthe middle and two ends because of their large thickness Sosolid element (SOLID185) is used to simulate these partsConnection between dierent types of cells is accomplishedby coupling nodes with CERIGmethod which can eliminatethe calculation error caused by dierent types of elementsDOFs inconsistency

According to the constraints prescribed in the bridgebearing arrangement (see Figure 15) the girder body and pierare connected by the node coupled method e arrow rep-resents the release direction of the DOFs whereas the DOF inthe arrow direction is not constrained For example a singleldquordquo represents that both horizontal and vertical DOFs areconstrained and xed e overall layout of the bridge FEmodel is shown in Figure 16 e model consists of 98118elements and 99938 nodes which meets the requirement ofcalculation accuracy through the numerical testse two endsof the bridge were connected to the 24 m-length simplesupported beam bridges ree-span simple supported beambridges were arranged on each side which can be simulated asconventional beam elements and coupled with the nodes at

43 Results Discussion and Comparisons Based on theproposed high-speed train-track-bridgemodel the influenceof wheel hollow wear on the vibration characteristics of thetrain-track-bridge system is investigated and presented inthis section Here the new profile and the worn profile withtravel distance of 192000 km were taken as the input wheelprofiles Since the highest operational speed of high-speedtrains in China is 350 kmh at present the train speed in thesimulations was also set to this value (e time domainsample of track irregularity obtained from the spectraltransformation of low-disturbance track of German high-speed railway was applied

Figures 17ndash19 show the wheel-rail forces of high-speedtrains with new and worn profiles in time and frequencydomains Figure 17(a) shows that wheel wear has a certaineffect on wheel-rail force After severe wheel wear it willincrease the impact between wheel and rail leading to asharp increase in some peak values of wheel-rail forceFigure 17(b) shows that wheel wear has a greater impact onthe lateral force of wheel and rail than the vertical force ofwheel and rail (e amplitude of the lateral force of wheeland rail wearing wheel increases obviously (e maximumwheel-rail vertical force before and after wheel wear changedfrom 22158 kN to 23490 kN which increased by 601(emaximum wheel-rail lateral force before and after wheelwear increased from 984 kN to 1438 kN which increased by461

In the frequency domain wheel wear results in a slightincrease in the high frequency of wheel-rail vertical force as

shown in Figure 18 In the meanwhile the increase in wheel-rail lateral force is mainly reflected in the middle and highfrequencies from Figure 19 (is shows that the wear ofwheel material mainly affects the wheel-rail force in themiddle and high frequencies domain but has little effect onthe low frequency wheel-rail force

(e dynamic responses of the bridge with initial (new)wheel profile and worn profile at 350 kmh speed are plottedin Figures 20ndash25 (e vertical and lateral displacements ofthe midsection of the main span are shown in Figure 20 Itreveals that wheel wear has little effect on the bridge dis-placement as the bridge displacement of the cases with wornand new profiles are basically the same (e vertical dis-placement curves are basically the same before and after thewheel profile changes and the maximum values maintain atabout 36mm (e lateral displacement curves fluctuateslightly but the amplitudes are quite small the maximumvalues are stable around 011mm

Figures 21 and 22 depict the time histories of bridgevertical and lateral displacement of the left and right-sidespans Similar to the dynamic response of the main spanwheel wear has no obvious effect on the vertical displace-ment of the bridge while small difference is found in thelateral displacements (e vertical displacement peak valuesof left and right span attain about 2mm and the lateraldisplacement peak values fluctuates around 006mm

Figures 23 and 24 display the time domain diagram ofbridge vertical and lateral acceleration of the main span Itis not difficult to observe that the wheel wear has obviouseffects on the vibration acceleration of the bridge (emaximum vertical accelerations of the cases with new andworn profiles were 00525ms2 and 00643ms2 re-spectively which increased by 231 (e maximumvalues of lateral accelerations of the cases with new andworn profiles are 00138ms2 and 00222ms2 re-spectively with an increase of 609(e results show thatthe responses of bridge accelerations obtained with themodels considering the wheel worn profiles are higherthan those obtained by the models without consideringwheel wear

Figure 25 shows the PSD diagram of the bridge verticaland lateral accelerations presented in Figures 23 and 24 Forthe vertical acceleration the main frequencies appeararound 053Hz 759Hz 229Hz and 269Hz But there isno obvious difference between the PSDs of the cases withnew and worn profiles (is means that the wheel hollow

bridge under different wheel worn profiles can be sum-marized as follows

(1) (e wheel hollow wear has little effect on the dy-namic displacement of the long-span bridge (ereason should be that the bridge main girder has alarge overall stiffness as it is made of high-strengthconcrete material thus the displacement of thebridge is mainly related to the axle load and dis-tribution characteristics of the train

(2) (e maximum bridge accelerations increase fast inlateral and vertical directions with the wheel weardepth increase It shows that both vertical and lateralbridge accelerations are greatly affected by thechange of wheel profile

5 Conclusions

(is paper reported a study of the high-speed train-track-bridge dynamic interactions considering the wheel-railcontact nonlinearity due to hollow worn wheel profiles Anonlinear rigid-flexible coupled model of a high-speed traintravelling on a long-span continuous girder bridge wasestablished (e accuracy of the model is validated bycomparing with the measured data (e vertical and lateraldynamic responses of the high-speed train-track-bridgesystem under new and worn wheel profiles were discussed

(e simulation results have shown that the wheel hollowwear of high-speed trains has a great influence on thegeometric parameters of the wheel-rail contact which canaggravate the wheel-rail interaction and finally deterioratesthe train-track-bridge interactions (e wheel wear has littleeffect on the bridge dynamic displacement However thebridge vertical and lateral accelerations increase with theaccumulation of the wheel hollow wear It is suggested thatthe influence of worn wheel-rail profiles should be con-sidered in the dynamic analysis of train-track-bridge in-teraction during the stage of bridge structure design andsafety assessment

24 Contact Models

241 Wheel-Rail Contact Model A wheel-rail nonellipticalmultipoint contact model proposed by Kik-Piotrowski[39 40] is applied to connect the vehicle subsystem and thetrack subsystem (e Kik-Piotrowski method is a non-Hertzian wheel-rail contact approach based on the virtualpenetration theory It is assumed that the shape of the wheel-rail contact patch can be directly determined by the wheeland rail profiles and the amount of interpenetration (ismethod can deal with the complex contact situations such asthe multipoints and conformal contact conditions caused bywheel-rail profile wear It is assumed that the normal contactstress pz is the semielliptical in the rolling direction of thewheel set

After obtaining the clearance and normal contact forceof the wheel-rail contact the calculation of tangential creepforces is carried out based on the FASTSIM algorithm byKalker [41] e use of FASTSIM is not only limited toelliptical contact patch but also can obtain good results inmultipoint contact conditions

242 Track-Bridge Contact Model For a nonballasted trackthe bridge supports the track structure via the cement as-phalt layers under the track slabs In this study the cementasphalt layers were represented by uniformly distributednonlinear spring and damper elements (refer to Figure 1(b))erefore the track-bridge contact force ftb can be calculatedby

f tb Ksh uts minus ub( ) + Csh _uts minus _ub( ) (17)

In the above equation Ksh is the nonlinear stinessmatrix of the cement asphalt layer Csh is the nonlinearviscous damping matrix and uts is the track slab displace-ment vector e detailed derivation process has been givenin reference [2]

25 Validation of the Model To verify the accuracy of theproposed train-track-bridge model the simulation dataobtained with the current model is compared with the ledmeasured data as shown in Figures 6ndash8 e eld tests werecarried out on the Tianjin-Qinhuangdao passenger high-speed railway in China A total of 13 trains have beenmeasured e rail displacement and acceleration weremeasured at the middle span of the 32m double-tracksimply supported PC girders with box sections e trainsare reorganized and the speed range is 200ndash350 kmh Be-cause the track irregularities of the tested lines were notobtained the German low-disturbance track spectrum wasapplied in the simulations Considering the dierence be-tween track irregularity samples used in simulation and theactual track irregularities the accelerations of axle box andbogie frame are processed by low-pass ltering and the cut-o frequency is 300Hz From the comparison of simulationand test results of the bogie frame acceleration and axle box

acceleration (Figures 6 and 7) the simulation results are ingood agreement with the test results Figure 8 is the com-parison of the measured and calculated displacement andacceleration of the rails e simulation results are close tothe measured data Overall the errors between the resultsobtained by eld test and simulation are negligible andhence the proposed model can be reliable and reasonable

3 Variation of Wheel-Rail ContactGeometry due to Wheel Hollow Wear

31 Evolution of the Hollow Wear e evolution of wheelproles of a Chinese high-speed train is rst investigatedbased on the data from a long-term tracking tests con-centrating on the natural wear process of high-speed trainwheels [42] Figure 9 compares several typical worn wheelproles with dierent travelling distances From the changesof the proles at the nominal rolling circle radius it can beclearly observed that the wheel hollow wear depth graduallyincreases with an increase in train operating mileage e

Figure 10 shows the wear distribution along the wheelwidth for dierent travelling distances It indicates that themain wear region on the wheel tread concentrates on thearea ranging from minus 20 to 20mm around the nominal rollingcircle and the wear in the ange area is relatively light isregion is the main contact region between the wheel and therail With the train travelling distance increase the wheelwear depth in this region aggravates gradually According tothe eld measurement results the maximum wheel weardepth of the train with travelling distances of 83000 km132000 km 169000 km and 192000 km attain 034mm052mm 064mm and 072mm respectively as shown in

Figure 10 e region of the worn wheel proles near thenominal rolling circle presents an obvious concave shapewhich substantially aects the wheel-rail contact geometrye location of the maximum wheel hollow wear depthappears at about +3mm from the nominal rolling circleradius of the wheel prole

It should be noted that the wheel hollow wear hasreached the limit regulated by Railway Electric MultipleUnits Operation and Maintaining Regulation [43] aftertravelling about 210000 km and the wheel tread of the testedhigh-speed train is required to be reproled at that time

and new profiles were carried out respectively (e newCHN60 profile was applied in these analyses Figure 11shows the location and layout of contact points of newand worn wheel profiles under different travel mileage Inactual operation of high-speed trains the wheel set lateraldisplacement is generally within the range of 10mm so thelateral displacement in Figure 11 was set at minus 10sim10mm

It is easy to see that the distribution of wheel-rail contactpoints is concentrated when the new wheel profile matcheswith the new CHN60 profile In this case the distribution ofwheel-rail contact points near the wheel flange side is sparseand uniform which is an ideal one-point contact situationBut when the wheel travel distance is increased to 83000 kmthe wheel-rail contact status evolved from the one-pointcontact to the multipoint contact and the distribution ofwheel-rail contact points appears in a larger area (e wornwheel-rail contact situations of the wheel travel distanceincreased to 132000 and 169000 km are similar to that of83000 km Compared with the new wheel-rail contact sit-uation the worn wheel-rail contact points are more dis-persed and nonuniform (e contact points at the wheelflange area increase which also slightly shift to the insidecorner of the railsWhen the wheel travel distance is increasedto 192000 km the worn wheel-rail system has an obvioustwo-point contact trend Two concentrated wheel-rail contact

point areas appear in the center and inside corner of the rails(is means the wheel hollow wear greatly changes the wheel-rail contact status resulting in a very dispersed and non-uniform distribution of wheel-rail contact points Under sucha severe condition the wheel-rail two-point contact behaviorwill occurr frequently It should be noted that the wheel-railtwo-point contact or multipoint contact behavior will in-tensify wheel-rail interaction and then increase the wear anddamage of wheel and rail profiles

(e rolling radius difference equivalent conicity contactangle and contact angle parameters are other four importantwheel-rail rolling contact geometric parameters It can beseen from Figure 12(a) that when the new wheel-rail profileis matched the rolling radius difference increases slowlywith wheel set lateral displacement less than 7mm Whenthe wheel set displacement is greater than 7mm the rollingradius difference increases sharply At this time the wheel-rail contact point approaches the wheel flange and the curveof rolling circle radius difference presents a nonlinear changelaw But for the worn wheels the fluctuation of rolling radiusdifference increases obviously when the lateral wheel setdisplacement is in the range of 1ndash9mm (e variationtendency of the rolling radius difference of the wheels withtravel distances of 83000 and 169000 km are similar andthe fluctuation of the case with travel distances of192000 km is the most intense

For the new profile the equivalent conicity Figure 12(b))keeps within 01 and changes smoothly when the wheel setdisplacement is less than 8mm But the equivalent conicityof the worn wheel profiles are obviously larger than that ofthe new profile when the wheel set displacement is largerthan 1mm(e equivalent conicity of the worn wheel profilewith travel distances of 192000 km is larger than that ofother cases when the wheel set displacement is in the rangeof 1ndash9mm (e equivalent conicity with a wheel set dis-placement of 15mm is equal to 028 According to theKlingel principle when lateral span and rolling radius of awheel set are kept constant an increasing equivalent conicitywill increase the bogie hunting motion frequency and finallydecrease the vehicle running stability

(e variation of contact angle and contact angle pa-rameter are shown in Figures 12(c) and 12(d) (e contactangle parameter ε is used for linear approximation of thefunction E(y) on the interval of the lateral shift of the wheelset

E(y) βl(y) minus βl(y)

range of contact angle becomes larger and there are manysudden changes when the lateral wheel set displacement isnegative With the increasing train travel mileage thecontact characteristics between wheel and rail deterioratewhich led to the increase in the wheel-rail contact angle evariation trend of wheel-rail contact angle parameters issimilar to that of the contact angle

e above results show that the wheel hollow wear has agreat inuence on the geometric parameters of the wheel-railcontact which can aggravate the wheel-rail interaction andnally aect the train-track-bridge interactions

4 Results and Discussions

e proposed model shown in Section 2 was applied topredict the vertical and lateral responses of the high-speedtrain-track-bridge system under new and worn wheel pro-les in which a Chinese high-speed train passing through along-span continuous girder bridge (see Figure 13) at thespeed of 350 kmh was considered Based on the measuredhigh-speed train worn wheel proles shown in Section 3 andnumerical simulations the inuences of wheel hollow wearon vibration responses of the high-speed train-track-bridgesystem are discussed

41 Illustration of the Bridge e Chengjiang bridge locatedin Hechi City of China was selected as example It is a super-large continuous concrete girder bridge on the Nanning-Guizhou high-speed railway in which the bridge span is(915 + 180 + 915) m and the approach bridge is a 24-mprestressed concrete simply supported bridge A double-track railway is positioned on the bridge and the transversedistance between the railway lines is 50m e bridge bodyis mainly made of C55 concrete and the arch ribs are madeof composite materials and steel cables e overall size ofthe bridge is shown in Figure 13e second span box girderof the bridge contains transverse webs which can enhance

the stiness of the whole bridge structure e cross sectionand the main dimensions of the girder are shown inFigure 14

42 FE Model of the Chengjiang Bridge In the FE modellingof the Chengjiang bridge several types of elements wereapplied to simulate the distinct parts of the bridge Specif-ically 3D two-node EulerndashBernoulli beam elements(BEAM188) were used to simulate the arch ribs transversestructures and diagonal structures based on the actual shapeand geometric dimensions of the cross-section propertiesTwo-node uniaxial link (LINKl0) elements were used tomodel the bridge cables with three translational DOFs (pernode x y and z) Elastic four-node axisymmetric quadri-lateral shell elements (SHELL63) with both membrane andbending capabilities were used to simulate the bridge webdeck and other structures Shell element is not suitable forthe middle and two ends because of their large thickness Sosolid element (SOLID185) is used to simulate these partsConnection between dierent types of cells is accomplishedby coupling nodes with CERIGmethod which can eliminatethe calculation error caused by dierent types of elementsDOFs inconsistency

According to the constraints prescribed in the bridgebearing arrangement (see Figure 15) the girder body and pierare connected by the node coupled method e arrow rep-resents the release direction of the DOFs whereas the DOF inthe arrow direction is not constrained For example a singleldquordquo represents that both horizontal and vertical DOFs areconstrained and xed e overall layout of the bridge FEmodel is shown in Figure 16 e model consists of 98118elements and 99938 nodes which meets the requirement ofcalculation accuracy through the numerical testse two endsof the bridge were connected to the 24 m-length simplesupported beam bridges ree-span simple supported beambridges were arranged on each side which can be simulated asconventional beam elements and coupled with the nodes at

43 Results Discussion and Comparisons Based on theproposed high-speed train-track-bridgemodel the influenceof wheel hollow wear on the vibration characteristics of thetrain-track-bridge system is investigated and presented inthis section Here the new profile and the worn profile withtravel distance of 192000 km were taken as the input wheelprofiles Since the highest operational speed of high-speedtrains in China is 350 kmh at present the train speed in thesimulations was also set to this value (e time domainsample of track irregularity obtained from the spectraltransformation of low-disturbance track of German high-speed railway was applied

Figures 17ndash19 show the wheel-rail forces of high-speedtrains with new and worn profiles in time and frequencydomains Figure 17(a) shows that wheel wear has a certaineffect on wheel-rail force After severe wheel wear it willincrease the impact between wheel and rail leading to asharp increase in some peak values of wheel-rail forceFigure 17(b) shows that wheel wear has a greater impact onthe lateral force of wheel and rail than the vertical force ofwheel and rail (e amplitude of the lateral force of wheeland rail wearing wheel increases obviously (e maximumwheel-rail vertical force before and after wheel wear changedfrom 22158 kN to 23490 kN which increased by 601(emaximum wheel-rail lateral force before and after wheelwear increased from 984 kN to 1438 kN which increased by461

In the frequency domain wheel wear results in a slightincrease in the high frequency of wheel-rail vertical force as

shown in Figure 18 In the meanwhile the increase in wheel-rail lateral force is mainly reflected in the middle and highfrequencies from Figure 19 (is shows that the wear ofwheel material mainly affects the wheel-rail force in themiddle and high frequencies domain but has little effect onthe low frequency wheel-rail force

(e dynamic responses of the bridge with initial (new)wheel profile and worn profile at 350 kmh speed are plottedin Figures 20ndash25 (e vertical and lateral displacements ofthe midsection of the main span are shown in Figure 20 Itreveals that wheel wear has little effect on the bridge dis-placement as the bridge displacement of the cases with wornand new profiles are basically the same (e vertical dis-placement curves are basically the same before and after thewheel profile changes and the maximum values maintain atabout 36mm (e lateral displacement curves fluctuateslightly but the amplitudes are quite small the maximumvalues are stable around 011mm

Figures 21 and 22 depict the time histories of bridgevertical and lateral displacement of the left and right-sidespans Similar to the dynamic response of the main spanwheel wear has no obvious effect on the vertical displace-ment of the bridge while small difference is found in thelateral displacements (e vertical displacement peak valuesof left and right span attain about 2mm and the lateraldisplacement peak values fluctuates around 006mm

Figures 23 and 24 display the time domain diagram ofbridge vertical and lateral acceleration of the main span Itis not difficult to observe that the wheel wear has obviouseffects on the vibration acceleration of the bridge (emaximum vertical accelerations of the cases with new andworn profiles were 00525ms2 and 00643ms2 re-spectively which increased by 231 (e maximumvalues of lateral accelerations of the cases with new andworn profiles are 00138ms2 and 00222ms2 re-spectively with an increase of 609(e results show thatthe responses of bridge accelerations obtained with themodels considering the wheel worn profiles are higherthan those obtained by the models without consideringwheel wear

the wheel hollow wear may cause the amplitude of bridgevibration acceleration to change or shift in frequencydomain

bridge under different wheel worn profiles can be sum-marized as follows

(1) (e wheel hollow wear has little effect on the dy-namic displacement of the long-span bridge (ereason should be that the bridge main girder has alarge overall stiffness as it is made of high-strengthconcrete material thus the displacement of thebridge is mainly related to the axle load and dis-tribution characteristics of the train

(2) (e maximum bridge accelerations increase fast inlateral and vertical directions with the wheel weardepth increase It shows that both vertical and lateralbridge accelerations are greatly affected by thechange of wheel profile

5 Conclusions

(is paper reported a study of the high-speed train-track-bridge dynamic interactions considering the wheel-railcontact nonlinearity due to hollow worn wheel profiles Anonlinear rigid-flexible coupled model of a high-speed traintravelling on a long-span continuous girder bridge wasestablished (e accuracy of the model is validated bycomparing with the measured data (e vertical and lateraldynamic responses of the high-speed train-track-bridgesystem under new and worn wheel profiles were discussed

(e simulation results have shown that the wheel hollowwear of high-speed trains has a great influence on thegeometric parameters of the wheel-rail contact which canaggravate the wheel-rail interaction and finally deterioratesthe train-track-bridge interactions (e wheel wear has littleeffect on the bridge dynamic displacement However thebridge vertical and lateral accelerations increase with theaccumulation of the wheel hollow wear It is suggested thatthe influence of worn wheel-rail profiles should be con-sidered in the dynamic analysis of train-track-bridge in-teraction during the stage of bridge structure design andsafety assessment

After obtaining the clearance and normal contact forceof the wheel-rail contact the calculation of tangential creepforces is carried out based on the FASTSIM algorithm byKalker [41] e use of FASTSIM is not only limited toelliptical contact patch but also can obtain good results inmultipoint contact conditions

242 Track-Bridge Contact Model For a nonballasted trackthe bridge supports the track structure via the cement as-phalt layers under the track slabs In this study the cementasphalt layers were represented by uniformly distributednonlinear spring and damper elements (refer to Figure 1(b))erefore the track-bridge contact force ftb can be calculatedby

f tb Ksh uts minus ub( ) + Csh _uts minus _ub( ) (17)

In the above equation Ksh is the nonlinear stinessmatrix of the cement asphalt layer Csh is the nonlinearviscous damping matrix and uts is the track slab displace-ment vector e detailed derivation process has been givenin reference [2]

25 Validation of the Model To verify the accuracy of theproposed train-track-bridge model the simulation dataobtained with the current model is compared with the ledmeasured data as shown in Figures 6ndash8 e eld tests werecarried out on the Tianjin-Qinhuangdao passenger high-speed railway in China A total of 13 trains have beenmeasured e rail displacement and acceleration weremeasured at the middle span of the 32m double-tracksimply supported PC girders with box sections e trainsare reorganized and the speed range is 200ndash350 kmh Be-cause the track irregularities of the tested lines were notobtained the German low-disturbance track spectrum wasapplied in the simulations Considering the dierence be-tween track irregularity samples used in simulation and theactual track irregularities the accelerations of axle box andbogie frame are processed by low-pass ltering and the cut-o frequency is 300Hz From the comparison of simulationand test results of the bogie frame acceleration and axle box

acceleration (Figures 6 and 7) the simulation results are ingood agreement with the test results Figure 8 is the com-parison of the measured and calculated displacement andacceleration of the rails e simulation results are close tothe measured data Overall the errors between the resultsobtained by eld test and simulation are negligible andhence the proposed model can be reliable and reasonable

3 Variation of Wheel-Rail ContactGeometry due to Wheel Hollow Wear

31 Evolution of the Hollow Wear e evolution of wheelproles of a Chinese high-speed train is rst investigatedbased on the data from a long-term tracking tests con-centrating on the natural wear process of high-speed trainwheels [42] Figure 9 compares several typical worn wheelproles with dierent travelling distances From the changesof the proles at the nominal rolling circle radius it can beclearly observed that the wheel hollow wear depth graduallyincreases with an increase in train operating mileage e

Figure 10 shows the wear distribution along the wheelwidth for dierent travelling distances It indicates that themain wear region on the wheel tread concentrates on thearea ranging from minus 20 to 20mm around the nominal rollingcircle and the wear in the ange area is relatively light isregion is the main contact region between the wheel and therail With the train travelling distance increase the wheelwear depth in this region aggravates gradually According tothe eld measurement results the maximum wheel weardepth of the train with travelling distances of 83000 km132000 km 169000 km and 192000 km attain 034mm052mm 064mm and 072mm respectively as shown in

Figure 10 e region of the worn wheel proles near thenominal rolling circle presents an obvious concave shapewhich substantially aects the wheel-rail contact geometrye location of the maximum wheel hollow wear depthappears at about +3mm from the nominal rolling circleradius of the wheel prole

It should be noted that the wheel hollow wear hasreached the limit regulated by Railway Electric MultipleUnits Operation and Maintaining Regulation [43] aftertravelling about 210000 km and the wheel tread of the testedhigh-speed train is required to be reproled at that time

and new profiles were carried out respectively (e newCHN60 profile was applied in these analyses Figure 11shows the location and layout of contact points of newand worn wheel profiles under different travel mileage Inactual operation of high-speed trains the wheel set lateraldisplacement is generally within the range of 10mm so thelateral displacement in Figure 11 was set at minus 10sim10mm

It is easy to see that the distribution of wheel-rail contactpoints is concentrated when the new wheel profile matcheswith the new CHN60 profile In this case the distribution ofwheel-rail contact points near the wheel flange side is sparseand uniform which is an ideal one-point contact situationBut when the wheel travel distance is increased to 83000 kmthe wheel-rail contact status evolved from the one-pointcontact to the multipoint contact and the distribution ofwheel-rail contact points appears in a larger area (e wornwheel-rail contact situations of the wheel travel distanceincreased to 132000 and 169000 km are similar to that of83000 km Compared with the new wheel-rail contact sit-uation the worn wheel-rail contact points are more dis-persed and nonuniform (e contact points at the wheelflange area increase which also slightly shift to the insidecorner of the railsWhen the wheel travel distance is increasedto 192000 km the worn wheel-rail system has an obvioustwo-point contact trend Two concentrated wheel-rail contact

point areas appear in the center and inside corner of the rails(is means the wheel hollow wear greatly changes the wheel-rail contact status resulting in a very dispersed and non-uniform distribution of wheel-rail contact points Under sucha severe condition the wheel-rail two-point contact behaviorwill occurr frequently It should be noted that the wheel-railtwo-point contact or multipoint contact behavior will in-tensify wheel-rail interaction and then increase the wear anddamage of wheel and rail profiles

(e rolling radius difference equivalent conicity contactangle and contact angle parameters are other four importantwheel-rail rolling contact geometric parameters It can beseen from Figure 12(a) that when the new wheel-rail profileis matched the rolling radius difference increases slowlywith wheel set lateral displacement less than 7mm Whenthe wheel set displacement is greater than 7mm the rollingradius difference increases sharply At this time the wheel-rail contact point approaches the wheel flange and the curveof rolling circle radius difference presents a nonlinear changelaw But for the worn wheels the fluctuation of rolling radiusdifference increases obviously when the lateral wheel setdisplacement is in the range of 1ndash9mm (e variationtendency of the rolling radius difference of the wheels withtravel distances of 83000 and 169000 km are similar andthe fluctuation of the case with travel distances of192000 km is the most intense

For the new profile the equivalent conicity Figure 12(b))keeps within 01 and changes smoothly when the wheel setdisplacement is less than 8mm But the equivalent conicityof the worn wheel profiles are obviously larger than that ofthe new profile when the wheel set displacement is largerthan 1mm(e equivalent conicity of the worn wheel profilewith travel distances of 192000 km is larger than that ofother cases when the wheel set displacement is in the rangeof 1ndash9mm (e equivalent conicity with a wheel set dis-placement of 15mm is equal to 028 According to theKlingel principle when lateral span and rolling radius of awheel set are kept constant an increasing equivalent conicitywill increase the bogie hunting motion frequency and finallydecrease the vehicle running stability

(e variation of contact angle and contact angle pa-rameter are shown in Figures 12(c) and 12(d) (e contactangle parameter ε is used for linear approximation of thefunction E(y) on the interval of the lateral shift of the wheelset

range of contact angle becomes larger and there are manysudden changes when the lateral wheel set displacement isnegative With the increasing train travel mileage thecontact characteristics between wheel and rail deterioratewhich led to the increase in the wheel-rail contact angle evariation trend of wheel-rail contact angle parameters issimilar to that of the contact angle

e above results show that the wheel hollow wear has agreat inuence on the geometric parameters of the wheel-railcontact which can aggravate the wheel-rail interaction andnally aect the train-track-bridge interactions

4 Results and Discussions

e proposed model shown in Section 2 was applied topredict the vertical and lateral responses of the high-speedtrain-track-bridge system under new and worn wheel pro-les in which a Chinese high-speed train passing through along-span continuous girder bridge (see Figure 13) at thespeed of 350 kmh was considered Based on the measuredhigh-speed train worn wheel proles shown in Section 3 andnumerical simulations the inuences of wheel hollow wearon vibration responses of the high-speed train-track-bridgesystem are discussed

41 Illustration of the Bridge e Chengjiang bridge locatedin Hechi City of China was selected as example It is a super-large continuous concrete girder bridge on the Nanning-Guizhou high-speed railway in which the bridge span is(915 + 180 + 915) m and the approach bridge is a 24-mprestressed concrete simply supported bridge A double-track railway is positioned on the bridge and the transversedistance between the railway lines is 50m e bridge bodyis mainly made of C55 concrete and the arch ribs are madeof composite materials and steel cables e overall size ofthe bridge is shown in Figure 13e second span box girderof the bridge contains transverse webs which can enhance

the stiness of the whole bridge structure e cross sectionand the main dimensions of the girder are shown inFigure 14

42 FE Model of the Chengjiang Bridge In the FE modellingof the Chengjiang bridge several types of elements wereapplied to simulate the distinct parts of the bridge Specif-ically 3D two-node EulerndashBernoulli beam elements(BEAM188) were used to simulate the arch ribs transversestructures and diagonal structures based on the actual shapeand geometric dimensions of the cross-section propertiesTwo-node uniaxial link (LINKl0) elements were used tomodel the bridge cables with three translational DOFs (pernode x y and z) Elastic four-node axisymmetric quadri-lateral shell elements (SHELL63) with both membrane andbending capabilities were used to simulate the bridge webdeck and other structures Shell element is not suitable forthe middle and two ends because of their large thickness Sosolid element (SOLID185) is used to simulate these partsConnection between dierent types of cells is accomplishedby coupling nodes with CERIGmethod which can eliminatethe calculation error caused by dierent types of elementsDOFs inconsistency

According to the constraints prescribed in the bridgebearing arrangement (see Figure 15) the girder body and pierare connected by the node coupled method e arrow rep-resents the release direction of the DOFs whereas the DOF inthe arrow direction is not constrained For example a singleldquordquo represents that both horizontal and vertical DOFs areconstrained and xed e overall layout of the bridge FEmodel is shown in Figure 16 e model consists of 98118elements and 99938 nodes which meets the requirement ofcalculation accuracy through the numerical testse two endsof the bridge were connected to the 24 m-length simplesupported beam bridges ree-span simple supported beambridges were arranged on each side which can be simulated asconventional beam elements and coupled with the nodes at

43 Results Discussion and Comparisons Based on theproposed high-speed train-track-bridgemodel the influenceof wheel hollow wear on the vibration characteristics of thetrain-track-bridge system is investigated and presented inthis section Here the new profile and the worn profile withtravel distance of 192000 km were taken as the input wheelprofiles Since the highest operational speed of high-speedtrains in China is 350 kmh at present the train speed in thesimulations was also set to this value (e time domainsample of track irregularity obtained from the spectraltransformation of low-disturbance track of German high-speed railway was applied

Figures 17ndash19 show the wheel-rail forces of high-speedtrains with new and worn profiles in time and frequencydomains Figure 17(a) shows that wheel wear has a certaineffect on wheel-rail force After severe wheel wear it willincrease the impact between wheel and rail leading to asharp increase in some peak values of wheel-rail forceFigure 17(b) shows that wheel wear has a greater impact onthe lateral force of wheel and rail than the vertical force ofwheel and rail (e amplitude of the lateral force of wheeland rail wearing wheel increases obviously (e maximumwheel-rail vertical force before and after wheel wear changedfrom 22158 kN to 23490 kN which increased by 601(emaximum wheel-rail lateral force before and after wheelwear increased from 984 kN to 1438 kN which increased by461

In the frequency domain wheel wear results in a slightincrease in the high frequency of wheel-rail vertical force as

shown in Figure 18 In the meanwhile the increase in wheel-rail lateral force is mainly reflected in the middle and highfrequencies from Figure 19 (is shows that the wear ofwheel material mainly affects the wheel-rail force in themiddle and high frequencies domain but has little effect onthe low frequency wheel-rail force

(e dynamic responses of the bridge with initial (new)wheel profile and worn profile at 350 kmh speed are plottedin Figures 20ndash25 (e vertical and lateral displacements ofthe midsection of the main span are shown in Figure 20 Itreveals that wheel wear has little effect on the bridge dis-placement as the bridge displacement of the cases with wornand new profiles are basically the same (e vertical dis-placement curves are basically the same before and after thewheel profile changes and the maximum values maintain atabout 36mm (e lateral displacement curves fluctuateslightly but the amplitudes are quite small the maximumvalues are stable around 011mm

Figures 21 and 22 depict the time histories of bridgevertical and lateral displacement of the left and right-sidespans Similar to the dynamic response of the main spanwheel wear has no obvious effect on the vertical displace-ment of the bridge while small difference is found in thelateral displacements (e vertical displacement peak valuesof left and right span attain about 2mm and the lateraldisplacement peak values fluctuates around 006mm

Figures 23 and 24 display the time domain diagram ofbridge vertical and lateral acceleration of the main span Itis not difficult to observe that the wheel wear has obviouseffects on the vibration acceleration of the bridge (emaximum vertical accelerations of the cases with new andworn profiles were 00525ms2 and 00643ms2 re-spectively which increased by 231 (e maximumvalues of lateral accelerations of the cases with new andworn profiles are 00138ms2 and 00222ms2 re-spectively with an increase of 609(e results show thatthe responses of bridge accelerations obtained with themodels considering the wheel worn profiles are higherthan those obtained by the models without consideringwheel wear

Figure 25 shows the PSD diagram of the bridge verticaland lateral accelerations presented in Figures 23 and 24 Forthe vertical acceleration the main frequencies appeararound 053Hz 759Hz 229Hz and 269Hz But there isno obvious difference between the PSDs of the cases withnew and worn profiles (is means that the wheel hollow

16 Shock and Vibration

bridge under different wheel worn profiles can be sum-marized as follows

(1) (e wheel hollow wear has little effect on the dy-namic displacement of the long-span bridge (ereason should be that the bridge main girder has alarge overall stiffness as it is made of high-strengthconcrete material thus the displacement of thebridge is mainly related to the axle load and dis-tribution characteristics of the train

(2) (e maximum bridge accelerations increase fast inlateral and vertical directions with the wheel weardepth increase It shows that both vertical and lateralbridge accelerations are greatly affected by thechange of wheel profile

5 Conclusions

(is paper reported a study of the high-speed train-track-bridge dynamic interactions considering the wheel-railcontact nonlinearity due to hollow worn wheel profiles Anonlinear rigid-flexible coupled model of a high-speed traintravelling on a long-span continuous girder bridge wasestablished (e accuracy of the model is validated bycomparing with the measured data (e vertical and lateraldynamic responses of the high-speed train-track-bridgesystem under new and worn wheel profiles were discussed

(e simulation results have shown that the wheel hollowwear of high-speed trains has a great influence on thegeometric parameters of the wheel-rail contact which canaggravate the wheel-rail interaction and finally deterioratesthe train-track-bridge interactions (e wheel wear has littleeffect on the bridge dynamic displacement However thebridge vertical and lateral accelerations increase with theaccumulation of the wheel hollow wear It is suggested thatthe influence of worn wheel-rail profiles should be con-sidered in the dynamic analysis of train-track-bridge in-teraction during the stage of bridge structure design andsafety assessment

241 Wheel-Rail Contact Model A wheel-rail nonellipticalmultipoint contact model proposed by Kik-Piotrowski[39 40] is applied to connect the vehicle subsystem and thetrack subsystem (e Kik-Piotrowski method is a non-Hertzian wheel-rail contact approach based on the virtualpenetration theory It is assumed that the shape of the wheel-rail contact patch can be directly determined by the wheeland rail profiles and the amount of interpenetration (ismethod can deal with the complex contact situations such asthe multipoints and conformal contact conditions caused bywheel-rail profile wear It is assumed that the normal contactstress pz is the semielliptical in the rolling direction of thewheel set

After obtaining the clearance and normal contact forceof the wheel-rail contact the calculation of tangential creepforces is carried out based on the FASTSIM algorithm byKalker [41] e use of FASTSIM is not only limited toelliptical contact patch but also can obtain good results inmultipoint contact conditions

242 Track-Bridge Contact Model For a nonballasted trackthe bridge supports the track structure via the cement as-phalt layers under the track slabs In this study the cementasphalt layers were represented by uniformly distributednonlinear spring and damper elements (refer to Figure 1(b))erefore the track-bridge contact force ftb can be calculatedby

In the above equation Ksh is the nonlinear stinessmatrix of the cement asphalt layer Csh is the nonlinearviscous damping matrix and uts is the track slab displace-ment vector e detailed derivation process has been givenin reference [2]

25 Validation of the Model To verify the accuracy of theproposed train-track-bridge model the simulation dataobtained with the current model is compared with the ledmeasured data as shown in Figures 6ndash8 e eld tests werecarried out on the Tianjin-Qinhuangdao passenger high-speed railway in China A total of 13 trains have beenmeasured e rail displacement and acceleration weremeasured at the middle span of the 32m double-tracksimply supported PC girders with box sections e trainsare reorganized and the speed range is 200ndash350 kmh Be-cause the track irregularities of the tested lines were notobtained the German low-disturbance track spectrum wasapplied in the simulations Considering the dierence be-tween track irregularity samples used in simulation and theactual track irregularities the accelerations of axle box andbogie frame are processed by low-pass ltering and the cut-o frequency is 300Hz From the comparison of simulationand test results of the bogie frame acceleration and axle box

acceleration (Figures 6 and 7) the simulation results are ingood agreement with the test results Figure 8 is the com-parison of the measured and calculated displacement andacceleration of the rails e simulation results are close tothe measured data Overall the errors between the resultsobtained by eld test and simulation are negligible andhence the proposed model can be reliable and reasonable

section of the worn wheel tread around nominal rollingcircle is consistent with the new wheel tread

Figure 10 shows the wear distribution along the wheelwidth for dierent travelling distances It indicates that themain wear region on the wheel tread concentrates on thearea ranging from minus 20 to 20mm around the nominal rollingcircle and the wear in the ange area is relatively light isregion is the main contact region between the wheel and therail With the train travelling distance increase the wheelwear depth in this region aggravates gradually According tothe eld measurement results the maximum wheel weardepth of the train with travelling distances of 83000 km132000 km 169000 km and 192000 km attain 034mm052mm 064mm and 072mm respectively as shown in

Figure 10 e region of the worn wheel proles near thenominal rolling circle presents an obvious concave shapewhich substantially aects the wheel-rail contact geometrye location of the maximum wheel hollow wear depthappears at about +3mm from the nominal rolling circleradius of the wheel prole

It should be noted that the wheel hollow wear hasreached the limit regulated by Railway Electric MultipleUnits Operation and Maintaining Regulation [43] aftertravelling about 210000 km and the wheel tread of the testedhigh-speed train is required to be reproled at that time

and new profiles were carried out respectively (e newCHN60 profile was applied in these analyses Figure 11shows the location and layout of contact points of newand worn wheel profiles under different travel mileage Inactual operation of high-speed trains the wheel set lateraldisplacement is generally within the range of 10mm so thelateral displacement in Figure 11 was set at minus 10sim10mm

It is easy to see that the distribution of wheel-rail contactpoints is concentrated when the new wheel profile matcheswith the new CHN60 profile In this case the distribution ofwheel-rail contact points near the wheel flange side is sparseand uniform which is an ideal one-point contact situationBut when the wheel travel distance is increased to 83000 kmthe wheel-rail contact status evolved from the one-pointcontact to the multipoint contact and the distribution ofwheel-rail contact points appears in a larger area (e wornwheel-rail contact situations of the wheel travel distanceincreased to 132000 and 169000 km are similar to that of83000 km Compared with the new wheel-rail contact sit-uation the worn wheel-rail contact points are more dis-persed and nonuniform (e contact points at the wheelflange area increase which also slightly shift to the insidecorner of the railsWhen the wheel travel distance is increasedto 192000 km the worn wheel-rail system has an obvioustwo-point contact trend Two concentrated wheel-rail contact

point areas appear in the center and inside corner of the rails(is means the wheel hollow wear greatly changes the wheel-rail contact status resulting in a very dispersed and non-uniform distribution of wheel-rail contact points Under sucha severe condition the wheel-rail two-point contact behaviorwill occurr frequently It should be noted that the wheel-railtwo-point contact or multipoint contact behavior will in-tensify wheel-rail interaction and then increase the wear anddamage of wheel and rail profiles

(e rolling radius difference equivalent conicity contactangle and contact angle parameters are other four importantwheel-rail rolling contact geometric parameters It can beseen from Figure 12(a) that when the new wheel-rail profileis matched the rolling radius difference increases slowlywith wheel set lateral displacement less than 7mm Whenthe wheel set displacement is greater than 7mm the rollingradius difference increases sharply At this time the wheel-rail contact point approaches the wheel flange and the curveof rolling circle radius difference presents a nonlinear changelaw But for the worn wheels the fluctuation of rolling radiusdifference increases obviously when the lateral wheel setdisplacement is in the range of 1ndash9mm (e variationtendency of the rolling radius difference of the wheels withtravel distances of 83000 and 169000 km are similar andthe fluctuation of the case with travel distances of192000 km is the most intense

For the new profile the equivalent conicity Figure 12(b))keeps within 01 and changes smoothly when the wheel setdisplacement is less than 8mm But the equivalent conicityof the worn wheel profiles are obviously larger than that ofthe new profile when the wheel set displacement is largerthan 1mm(e equivalent conicity of the worn wheel profilewith travel distances of 192000 km is larger than that ofother cases when the wheel set displacement is in the rangeof 1ndash9mm (e equivalent conicity with a wheel set dis-placement of 15mm is equal to 028 According to theKlingel principle when lateral span and rolling radius of awheel set are kept constant an increasing equivalent conicitywill increase the bogie hunting motion frequency and finallydecrease the vehicle running stability

(e variation of contact angle and contact angle pa-rameter are shown in Figures 12(c) and 12(d) (e contactangle parameter ε is used for linear approximation of thefunction E(y) on the interval of the lateral shift of the wheelset

range of contact angle becomes larger and there are manysudden changes when the lateral wheel set displacement isnegative With the increasing train travel mileage thecontact characteristics between wheel and rail deterioratewhich led to the increase in the wheel-rail contact angle evariation trend of wheel-rail contact angle parameters issimilar to that of the contact angle

e above results show that the wheel hollow wear has agreat inuence on the geometric parameters of the wheel-railcontact which can aggravate the wheel-rail interaction andnally aect the train-track-bridge interactions

4 Results and Discussions

e proposed model shown in Section 2 was applied topredict the vertical and lateral responses of the high-speedtrain-track-bridge system under new and worn wheel pro-les in which a Chinese high-speed train passing through along-span continuous girder bridge (see Figure 13) at thespeed of 350 kmh was considered Based on the measuredhigh-speed train worn wheel proles shown in Section 3 andnumerical simulations the inuences of wheel hollow wearon vibration responses of the high-speed train-track-bridgesystem are discussed

41 Illustration of the Bridge e Chengjiang bridge locatedin Hechi City of China was selected as example It is a super-large continuous concrete girder bridge on the Nanning-Guizhou high-speed railway in which the bridge span is(915 + 180 + 915) m and the approach bridge is a 24-mprestressed concrete simply supported bridge A double-track railway is positioned on the bridge and the transversedistance between the railway lines is 50m e bridge bodyis mainly made of C55 concrete and the arch ribs are madeof composite materials and steel cables e overall size ofthe bridge is shown in Figure 13e second span box girderof the bridge contains transverse webs which can enhance

the stiness of the whole bridge structure e cross sectionand the main dimensions of the girder are shown inFigure 14

42 FE Model of the Chengjiang Bridge In the FE modellingof the Chengjiang bridge several types of elements wereapplied to simulate the distinct parts of the bridge Specif-ically 3D two-node EulerndashBernoulli beam elements(BEAM188) were used to simulate the arch ribs transversestructures and diagonal structures based on the actual shapeand geometric dimensions of the cross-section propertiesTwo-node uniaxial link (LINKl0) elements were used tomodel the bridge cables with three translational DOFs (pernode x y and z) Elastic four-node axisymmetric quadri-lateral shell elements (SHELL63) with both membrane andbending capabilities were used to simulate the bridge webdeck and other structures Shell element is not suitable forthe middle and two ends because of their large thickness Sosolid element (SOLID185) is used to simulate these partsConnection between dierent types of cells is accomplishedby coupling nodes with CERIGmethod which can eliminatethe calculation error caused by dierent types of elementsDOFs inconsistency

According to the constraints prescribed in the bridgebearing arrangement (see Figure 15) the girder body and pierare connected by the node coupled method e arrow rep-resents the release direction of the DOFs whereas the DOF inthe arrow direction is not constrained For example a singleldquordquo represents that both horizontal and vertical DOFs areconstrained and xed e overall layout of the bridge FEmodel is shown in Figure 16 e model consists of 98118elements and 99938 nodes which meets the requirement ofcalculation accuracy through the numerical testse two endsof the bridge were connected to the 24 m-length simplesupported beam bridges ree-span simple supported beambridges were arranged on each side which can be simulated asconventional beam elements and coupled with the nodes at

43 Results Discussion and Comparisons Based on theproposed high-speed train-track-bridgemodel the influenceof wheel hollow wear on the vibration characteristics of thetrain-track-bridge system is investigated and presented inthis section Here the new profile and the worn profile withtravel distance of 192000 km were taken as the input wheelprofiles Since the highest operational speed of high-speedtrains in China is 350 kmh at present the train speed in thesimulations was also set to this value (e time domainsample of track irregularity obtained from the spectraltransformation of low-disturbance track of German high-speed railway was applied

Figures 17ndash19 show the wheel-rail forces of high-speedtrains with new and worn profiles in time and frequencydomains Figure 17(a) shows that wheel wear has a certaineffect on wheel-rail force After severe wheel wear it willincrease the impact between wheel and rail leading to asharp increase in some peak values of wheel-rail forceFigure 17(b) shows that wheel wear has a greater impact onthe lateral force of wheel and rail than the vertical force ofwheel and rail (e amplitude of the lateral force of wheeland rail wearing wheel increases obviously (e maximumwheel-rail vertical force before and after wheel wear changedfrom 22158 kN to 23490 kN which increased by 601(emaximum wheel-rail lateral force before and after wheelwear increased from 984 kN to 1438 kN which increased by461

In the frequency domain wheel wear results in a slightincrease in the high frequency of wheel-rail vertical force as

shown in Figure 18 In the meanwhile the increase in wheel-rail lateral force is mainly reflected in the middle and highfrequencies from Figure 19 (is shows that the wear ofwheel material mainly affects the wheel-rail force in themiddle and high frequencies domain but has little effect onthe low frequency wheel-rail force

(e dynamic responses of the bridge with initial (new)wheel profile and worn profile at 350 kmh speed are plottedin Figures 20ndash25 (e vertical and lateral displacements ofthe midsection of the main span are shown in Figure 20 Itreveals that wheel wear has little effect on the bridge dis-placement as the bridge displacement of the cases with wornand new profiles are basically the same (e vertical dis-placement curves are basically the same before and after thewheel profile changes and the maximum values maintain atabout 36mm (e lateral displacement curves fluctuateslightly but the amplitudes are quite small the maximumvalues are stable around 011mm

Figures 21 and 22 depict the time histories of bridgevertical and lateral displacement of the left and right-sidespans Similar to the dynamic response of the main spanwheel wear has no obvious effect on the vertical displace-ment of the bridge while small difference is found in thelateral displacements (e vertical displacement peak valuesof left and right span attain about 2mm and the lateraldisplacement peak values fluctuates around 006mm

Figures 23 and 24 display the time domain diagram ofbridge vertical and lateral acceleration of the main span Itis not difficult to observe that the wheel wear has obviouseffects on the vibration acceleration of the bridge (emaximum vertical accelerations of the cases with new andworn profiles were 00525ms2 and 00643ms2 re-spectively which increased by 231 (e maximumvalues of lateral accelerations of the cases with new andworn profiles are 00138ms2 and 00222ms2 re-spectively with an increase of 609(e results show thatthe responses of bridge accelerations obtained with themodels considering the wheel worn profiles are higherthan those obtained by the models without consideringwheel wear

Figure 25 shows the PSD diagram of the bridge verticaland lateral accelerations presented in Figures 23 and 24 Forthe vertical acceleration the main frequencies appeararound 053Hz 759Hz 229Hz and 269Hz But there isno obvious difference between the PSDs of the cases withnew and worn profiles (is means that the wheel hollow

bridge under different wheel worn profiles can be sum-marized as follows

(1) (e wheel hollow wear has little effect on the dy-namic displacement of the long-span bridge (ereason should be that the bridge main girder has alarge overall stiffness as it is made of high-strengthconcrete material thus the displacement of thebridge is mainly related to the axle load and dis-tribution characteristics of the train

(2) (e maximum bridge accelerations increase fast inlateral and vertical directions with the wheel weardepth increase It shows that both vertical and lateralbridge accelerations are greatly affected by thechange of wheel profile

5 Conclusions

(is paper reported a study of the high-speed train-track-bridge dynamic interactions considering the wheel-railcontact nonlinearity due to hollow worn wheel profiles Anonlinear rigid-flexible coupled model of a high-speed traintravelling on a long-span continuous girder bridge wasestablished (e accuracy of the model is validated bycomparing with the measured data (e vertical and lateraldynamic responses of the high-speed train-track-bridgesystem under new and worn wheel profiles were discussed

(e simulation results have shown that the wheel hollowwear of high-speed trains has a great influence on thegeometric parameters of the wheel-rail contact which canaggravate the wheel-rail interaction and finally deterioratesthe train-track-bridge interactions (e wheel wear has littleeffect on the bridge dynamic displacement However thebridge vertical and lateral accelerations increase with theaccumulation of the wheel hollow wear It is suggested thatthe influence of worn wheel-rail profiles should be con-sidered in the dynamic analysis of train-track-bridge in-teraction during the stage of bridge structure design andsafety assessment

24 Contact Models

241 Wheel-Rail Contact Model A wheel-rail nonellipticalmultipoint contact model proposed by Kik-Piotrowski[39 40] is applied to connect the vehicle subsystem and thetrack subsystem (e Kik-Piotrowski method is a non-Hertzian wheel-rail contact approach based on the virtualpenetration theory It is assumed that the shape of the wheel-rail contact patch can be directly determined by the wheeland rail profiles and the amount of interpenetration (ismethod can deal with the complex contact situations such asthe multipoints and conformal contact conditions caused bywheel-rail profile wear It is assumed that the normal contactstress pz is the semielliptical in the rolling direction of thewheel set

After obtaining the clearance and normal contact forceof the wheel-rail contact the calculation of tangential creepforces is carried out based on the FASTSIM algorithm byKalker [41] e use of FASTSIM is not only limited toelliptical contact patch but also can obtain good results inmultipoint contact conditions

242 Track-Bridge Contact Model For a nonballasted trackthe bridge supports the track structure via the cement as-phalt layers under the track slabs In this study the cementasphalt layers were represented by uniformly distributednonlinear spring and damper elements (refer to Figure 1(b))erefore the track-bridge contact force ftb can be calculatedby

f tb Ksh uts minus ub( ) + Csh _uts minus _ub( ) (17)

In the above equation Ksh is the nonlinear stinessmatrix of the cement asphalt layer Csh is the nonlinearviscous damping matrix and uts is the track slab displace-ment vector e detailed derivation process has been givenin reference [2]

25 Validation of the Model To verify the accuracy of theproposed train-track-bridge model the simulation dataobtained with the current model is compared with the ledmeasured data as shown in Figures 6ndash8 e eld tests werecarried out on the Tianjin-Qinhuangdao passenger high-speed railway in China A total of 13 trains have beenmeasured e rail displacement and acceleration weremeasured at the middle span of the 32m double-tracksimply supported PC girders with box sections e trainsare reorganized and the speed range is 200ndash350 kmh Be-cause the track irregularities of the tested lines were notobtained the German low-disturbance track spectrum wasapplied in the simulations Considering the dierence be-tween track irregularity samples used in simulation and theactual track irregularities the accelerations of axle box andbogie frame are processed by low-pass ltering and the cut-o frequency is 300Hz From the comparison of simulationand test results of the bogie frame acceleration and axle box

acceleration (Figures 6 and 7) the simulation results are ingood agreement with the test results Figure 8 is the com-parison of the measured and calculated displacement andacceleration of the rails e simulation results are close tothe measured data Overall the errors between the resultsobtained by eld test and simulation are negligible andhence the proposed model can be reliable and reasonable

3 Variation of Wheel-Rail ContactGeometry due to Wheel Hollow Wear

31 Evolution of the Hollow Wear e evolution of wheelproles of a Chinese high-speed train is rst investigatedbased on the data from a long-term tracking tests con-centrating on the natural wear process of high-speed trainwheels [42] Figure 9 compares several typical worn wheelproles with dierent travelling distances From the changesof the proles at the nominal rolling circle radius it can beclearly observed that the wheel hollow wear depth graduallyincreases with an increase in train operating mileage e

section of the worn wheel tread around nominal rollingcircle is consistent with the new wheel tread

Figure 10 shows the wear distribution along the wheelwidth for dierent travelling distances It indicates that themain wear region on the wheel tread concentrates on thearea ranging from minus 20 to 20mm around the nominal rollingcircle and the wear in the ange area is relatively light isregion is the main contact region between the wheel and therail With the train travelling distance increase the wheelwear depth in this region aggravates gradually According tothe eld measurement results the maximum wheel weardepth of the train with travelling distances of 83000 km132000 km 169000 km and 192000 km attain 034mm052mm 064mm and 072mm respectively as shown in

Figure 10 e region of the worn wheel proles near thenominal rolling circle presents an obvious concave shapewhich substantially aects the wheel-rail contact geometrye location of the maximum wheel hollow wear depthappears at about +3mm from the nominal rolling circleradius of the wheel prole

It should be noted that the wheel hollow wear hasreached the limit regulated by Railway Electric MultipleUnits Operation and Maintaining Regulation [43] aftertravelling about 210000 km and the wheel tread of the testedhigh-speed train is required to be reproled at that time

and new profiles were carried out respectively (e newCHN60 profile was applied in these analyses Figure 11shows the location and layout of contact points of newand worn wheel profiles under different travel mileage Inactual operation of high-speed trains the wheel set lateraldisplacement is generally within the range of 10mm so thelateral displacement in Figure 11 was set at minus 10sim10mm

It is easy to see that the distribution of wheel-rail contactpoints is concentrated when the new wheel profile matcheswith the new CHN60 profile In this case the distribution ofwheel-rail contact points near the wheel flange side is sparseand uniform which is an ideal one-point contact situationBut when the wheel travel distance is increased to 83000 kmthe wheel-rail contact status evolved from the one-pointcontact to the multipoint contact and the distribution ofwheel-rail contact points appears in a larger area (e wornwheel-rail contact situations of the wheel travel distanceincreased to 132000 and 169000 km are similar to that of83000 km Compared with the new wheel-rail contact sit-uation the worn wheel-rail contact points are more dis-persed and nonuniform (e contact points at the wheelflange area increase which also slightly shift to the insidecorner of the railsWhen the wheel travel distance is increasedto 192000 km the worn wheel-rail system has an obvioustwo-point contact trend Two concentrated wheel-rail contact

point areas appear in the center and inside corner of the rails(is means the wheel hollow wear greatly changes the wheel-rail contact status resulting in a very dispersed and non-uniform distribution of wheel-rail contact points Under sucha severe condition the wheel-rail two-point contact behaviorwill occurr frequently It should be noted that the wheel-railtwo-point contact or multipoint contact behavior will in-tensify wheel-rail interaction and then increase the wear anddamage of wheel and rail profiles

(e rolling radius difference equivalent conicity contactangle and contact angle parameters are other four importantwheel-rail rolling contact geometric parameters It can beseen from Figure 12(a) that when the new wheel-rail profileis matched the rolling radius difference increases slowlywith wheel set lateral displacement less than 7mm Whenthe wheel set displacement is greater than 7mm the rollingradius difference increases sharply At this time the wheel-rail contact point approaches the wheel flange and the curveof rolling circle radius difference presents a nonlinear changelaw But for the worn wheels the fluctuation of rolling radiusdifference increases obviously when the lateral wheel setdisplacement is in the range of 1ndash9mm (e variationtendency of the rolling radius difference of the wheels withtravel distances of 83000 and 169000 km are similar andthe fluctuation of the case with travel distances of192000 km is the most intense

For the new profile the equivalent conicity Figure 12(b))keeps within 01 and changes smoothly when the wheel setdisplacement is less than 8mm But the equivalent conicityof the worn wheel profiles are obviously larger than that ofthe new profile when the wheel set displacement is largerthan 1mm(e equivalent conicity of the worn wheel profilewith travel distances of 192000 km is larger than that ofother cases when the wheel set displacement is in the rangeof 1ndash9mm (e equivalent conicity with a wheel set dis-placement of 15mm is equal to 028 According to theKlingel principle when lateral span and rolling radius of awheel set are kept constant an increasing equivalent conicitywill increase the bogie hunting motion frequency and finallydecrease the vehicle running stability

(e variation of contact angle and contact angle pa-rameter are shown in Figures 12(c) and 12(d) (e contactangle parameter ε is used for linear approximation of thefunction E(y) on the interval of the lateral shift of the wheelset

E(y) βl(y) minus βl(y)

(e designation βl(y) βr(y) are introduced for thecontact angles of the left and right wheels depending on thewheel set shift If the left and right pairs of profiles are equalthe value βl(0) βr(0) β0 corresponds to the contact anglefor symmetric position of the wheel set (e dependence onthe lateral shift is used for definition of the contact angleparameter Here S is the distance between the wheel setrolling radius

Figure 12 shows that the change of contact angle is gentlefor the new wheels when the lateral displacement is in therange of minus 7ndash8mm But for the worn wheels the fluctuation

range of contact angle becomes larger and there are manysudden changes when the lateral wheel set displacement isnegative With the increasing train travel mileage thecontact characteristics between wheel and rail deterioratewhich led to the increase in the wheel-rail contact angle evariation trend of wheel-rail contact angle parameters issimilar to that of the contact angle

e above results show that the wheel hollow wear has agreat inuence on the geometric parameters of the wheel-railcontact which can aggravate the wheel-rail interaction andnally aect the train-track-bridge interactions

4 Results and Discussions

e proposed model shown in Section 2 was applied topredict the vertical and lateral responses of the high-speedtrain-track-bridge system under new and worn wheel pro-les in which a Chinese high-speed train passing through along-span continuous girder bridge (see Figure 13) at thespeed of 350 kmh was considered Based on the measuredhigh-speed train worn wheel proles shown in Section 3 andnumerical simulations the inuences of wheel hollow wearon vibration responses of the high-speed train-track-bridgesystem are discussed

41 Illustration of the Bridge e Chengjiang bridge locatedin Hechi City of China was selected as example It is a super-large continuous concrete girder bridge on the Nanning-Guizhou high-speed railway in which the bridge span is(915 + 180 + 915) m and the approach bridge is a 24-mprestressed concrete simply supported bridge A double-track railway is positioned on the bridge and the transversedistance between the railway lines is 50m e bridge bodyis mainly made of C55 concrete and the arch ribs are madeof composite materials and steel cables e overall size ofthe bridge is shown in Figure 13e second span box girderof the bridge contains transverse webs which can enhance

the stiness of the whole bridge structure e cross sectionand the main dimensions of the girder are shown inFigure 14

42 FE Model of the Chengjiang Bridge In the FE modellingof the Chengjiang bridge several types of elements wereapplied to simulate the distinct parts of the bridge Specif-ically 3D two-node EulerndashBernoulli beam elements(BEAM188) were used to simulate the arch ribs transversestructures and diagonal structures based on the actual shapeand geometric dimensions of the cross-section propertiesTwo-node uniaxial link (LINKl0) elements were used tomodel the bridge cables with three translational DOFs (pernode x y and z) Elastic four-node axisymmetric quadri-lateral shell elements (SHELL63) with both membrane andbending capabilities were used to simulate the bridge webdeck and other structures Shell element is not suitable forthe middle and two ends because of their large thickness Sosolid element (SOLID185) is used to simulate these partsConnection between dierent types of cells is accomplishedby coupling nodes with CERIGmethod which can eliminatethe calculation error caused by dierent types of elementsDOFs inconsistency

According to the constraints prescribed in the bridgebearing arrangement (see Figure 15) the girder body and pierare connected by the node coupled method e arrow rep-resents the release direction of the DOFs whereas the DOF inthe arrow direction is not constrained For example a singleldquordquo represents that both horizontal and vertical DOFs areconstrained and xed e overall layout of the bridge FEmodel is shown in Figure 16 e model consists of 98118elements and 99938 nodes which meets the requirement ofcalculation accuracy through the numerical testse two endsof the bridge were connected to the 24 m-length simplesupported beam bridges ree-span simple supported beambridges were arranged on each side which can be simulated asconventional beam elements and coupled with the nodes at

43 Results Discussion and Comparisons Based on theproposed high-speed train-track-bridgemodel the influenceof wheel hollow wear on the vibration characteristics of thetrain-track-bridge system is investigated and presented inthis section Here the new profile and the worn profile withtravel distance of 192000 km were taken as the input wheelprofiles Since the highest operational speed of high-speedtrains in China is 350 kmh at present the train speed in thesimulations was also set to this value (e time domainsample of track irregularity obtained from the spectraltransformation of low-disturbance track of German high-speed railway was applied

Figures 17ndash19 show the wheel-rail forces of high-speedtrains with new and worn profiles in time and frequencydomains Figure 17(a) shows that wheel wear has a certaineffect on wheel-rail force After severe wheel wear it willincrease the impact between wheel and rail leading to asharp increase in some peak values of wheel-rail forceFigure 17(b) shows that wheel wear has a greater impact onthe lateral force of wheel and rail than the vertical force ofwheel and rail (e amplitude of the lateral force of wheeland rail wearing wheel increases obviously (e maximumwheel-rail vertical force before and after wheel wear changedfrom 22158 kN to 23490 kN which increased by 601(emaximum wheel-rail lateral force before and after wheelwear increased from 984 kN to 1438 kN which increased by461

In the frequency domain wheel wear results in a slightincrease in the high frequency of wheel-rail vertical force as

shown in Figure 18 In the meanwhile the increase in wheel-rail lateral force is mainly reflected in the middle and highfrequencies from Figure 19 (is shows that the wear ofwheel material mainly affects the wheel-rail force in themiddle and high frequencies domain but has little effect onthe low frequency wheel-rail force

(e dynamic responses of the bridge with initial (new)wheel profile and worn profile at 350 kmh speed are plottedin Figures 20ndash25 (e vertical and lateral displacements ofthe midsection of the main span are shown in Figure 20 Itreveals that wheel wear has little effect on the bridge dis-placement as the bridge displacement of the cases with wornand new profiles are basically the same (e vertical dis-placement curves are basically the same before and after thewheel profile changes and the maximum values maintain atabout 36mm (e lateral displacement curves fluctuateslightly but the amplitudes are quite small the maximumvalues are stable around 011mm

Figures 21 and 22 depict the time histories of bridgevertical and lateral displacement of the left and right-sidespans Similar to the dynamic response of the main spanwheel wear has no obvious effect on the vertical displace-ment of the bridge while small difference is found in thelateral displacements (e vertical displacement peak valuesof left and right span attain about 2mm and the lateraldisplacement peak values fluctuates around 006mm

Figures 23 and 24 display the time domain diagram ofbridge vertical and lateral acceleration of the main span Itis not difficult to observe that the wheel wear has obviouseffects on the vibration acceleration of the bridge (emaximum vertical accelerations of the cases with new andworn profiles were 00525ms2 and 00643ms2 re-spectively which increased by 231 (e maximumvalues of lateral accelerations of the cases with new andworn profiles are 00138ms2 and 00222ms2 re-spectively with an increase of 609(e results show thatthe responses of bridge accelerations obtained with themodels considering the wheel worn profiles are higherthan those obtained by the models without consideringwheel wear

Figure 25 shows the PSD diagram of the bridge verticaland lateral accelerations presented in Figures 23 and 24 Forthe vertical acceleration the main frequencies appeararound 053Hz 759Hz 229Hz and 269Hz But there isno obvious difference between the PSDs of the cases withnew and worn profiles (is means that the wheel hollow

the wheel hollow wear may cause the amplitude of bridgevibration acceleration to change or shift in frequencydomain

bridge under different wheel worn profiles can be sum-marized as follows

(1) (e wheel hollow wear has little effect on the dy-namic displacement of the long-span bridge (ereason should be that the bridge main girder has alarge overall stiffness as it is made of high-strengthconcrete material thus the displacement of thebridge is mainly related to the axle load and dis-tribution characteristics of the train

(2) (e maximum bridge accelerations increase fast inlateral and vertical directions with the wheel weardepth increase It shows that both vertical and lateralbridge accelerations are greatly affected by thechange of wheel profile

5 Conclusions

(is paper reported a study of the high-speed train-track-bridge dynamic interactions considering the wheel-railcontact nonlinearity due to hollow worn wheel profiles Anonlinear rigid-flexible coupled model of a high-speed traintravelling on a long-span continuous girder bridge wasestablished (e accuracy of the model is validated bycomparing with the measured data (e vertical and lateraldynamic responses of the high-speed train-track-bridgesystem under new and worn wheel profiles were discussed

(e simulation results have shown that the wheel hollowwear of high-speed trains has a great influence on thegeometric parameters of the wheel-rail contact which canaggravate the wheel-rail interaction and finally deterioratesthe train-track-bridge interactions (e wheel wear has littleeffect on the bridge dynamic displacement However thebridge vertical and lateral accelerations increase with theaccumulation of the wheel hollow wear It is suggested thatthe influence of worn wheel-rail profiles should be con-sidered in the dynamic analysis of train-track-bridge in-teraction during the stage of bridge structure design andsafety assessment

After obtaining the clearance and normal contact forceof the wheel-rail contact the calculation of tangential creepforces is carried out based on the FASTSIM algorithm byKalker [41] e use of FASTSIM is not only limited toelliptical contact patch but also can obtain good results inmultipoint contact conditions

242 Track-Bridge Contact Model For a nonballasted trackthe bridge supports the track structure via the cement as-phalt layers under the track slabs In this study the cementasphalt layers were represented by uniformly distributednonlinear spring and damper elements (refer to Figure 1(b))erefore the track-bridge contact force ftb can be calculatedby

f tb Ksh uts minus ub( ) + Csh _uts minus _ub( ) (17)

In the above equation Ksh is the nonlinear stinessmatrix of the cement asphalt layer Csh is the nonlinearviscous damping matrix and uts is the track slab displace-ment vector e detailed derivation process has been givenin reference [2]

25 Validation of the Model To verify the accuracy of theproposed train-track-bridge model the simulation dataobtained with the current model is compared with the ledmeasured data as shown in Figures 6ndash8 e eld tests werecarried out on the Tianjin-Qinhuangdao passenger high-speed railway in China A total of 13 trains have beenmeasured e rail displacement and acceleration weremeasured at the middle span of the 32m double-tracksimply supported PC girders with box sections e trainsare reorganized and the speed range is 200ndash350 kmh Be-cause the track irregularities of the tested lines were notobtained the German low-disturbance track spectrum wasapplied in the simulations Considering the dierence be-tween track irregularity samples used in simulation and theactual track irregularities the accelerations of axle box andbogie frame are processed by low-pass ltering and the cut-o frequency is 300Hz From the comparison of simulationand test results of the bogie frame acceleration and axle box

acceleration (Figures 6 and 7) the simulation results are ingood agreement with the test results Figure 8 is the com-parison of the measured and calculated displacement andacceleration of the rails e simulation results are close tothe measured data Overall the errors between the resultsobtained by eld test and simulation are negligible andhence the proposed model can be reliable and reasonable

3 Variation of Wheel-Rail ContactGeometry due to Wheel Hollow Wear

31 Evolution of the Hollow Wear e evolution of wheelproles of a Chinese high-speed train is rst investigatedbased on the data from a long-term tracking tests con-centrating on the natural wear process of high-speed trainwheels [42] Figure 9 compares several typical worn wheelproles with dierent travelling distances From the changesof the proles at the nominal rolling circle radius it can beclearly observed that the wheel hollow wear depth graduallyincreases with an increase in train operating mileage e

section of the worn wheel tread around nominal rollingcircle is consistent with the new wheel tread

Figure 10 shows the wear distribution along the wheelwidth for dierent travelling distances It indicates that themain wear region on the wheel tread concentrates on thearea ranging from minus 20 to 20mm around the nominal rollingcircle and the wear in the ange area is relatively light isregion is the main contact region between the wheel and therail With the train travelling distance increase the wheelwear depth in this region aggravates gradually According tothe eld measurement results the maximum wheel weardepth of the train with travelling distances of 83000 km132000 km 169000 km and 192000 km attain 034mm052mm 064mm and 072mm respectively as shown in

Figure 10 e region of the worn wheel proles near thenominal rolling circle presents an obvious concave shapewhich substantially aects the wheel-rail contact geometrye location of the maximum wheel hollow wear depthappears at about +3mm from the nominal rolling circleradius of the wheel prole

It should be noted that the wheel hollow wear hasreached the limit regulated by Railway Electric MultipleUnits Operation and Maintaining Regulation [43] aftertravelling about 210000 km and the wheel tread of the testedhigh-speed train is required to be reproled at that time

and new profiles were carried out respectively (e newCHN60 profile was applied in these analyses Figure 11shows the location and layout of contact points of newand worn wheel profiles under different travel mileage Inactual operation of high-speed trains the wheel set lateraldisplacement is generally within the range of 10mm so thelateral displacement in Figure 11 was set at minus 10sim10mm

It is easy to see that the distribution of wheel-rail contactpoints is concentrated when the new wheel profile matcheswith the new CHN60 profile In this case the distribution ofwheel-rail contact points near the wheel flange side is sparseand uniform which is an ideal one-point contact situationBut when the wheel travel distance is increased to 83000 kmthe wheel-rail contact status evolved from the one-pointcontact to the multipoint contact and the distribution ofwheel-rail contact points appears in a larger area (e wornwheel-rail contact situations of the wheel travel distanceincreased to 132000 and 169000 km are similar to that of83000 km Compared with the new wheel-rail contact sit-uation the worn wheel-rail contact points are more dis-persed and nonuniform (e contact points at the wheelflange area increase which also slightly shift to the insidecorner of the railsWhen the wheel travel distance is increasedto 192000 km the worn wheel-rail system has an obvioustwo-point contact trend Two concentrated wheel-rail contact

point areas appear in the center and inside corner of the rails(is means the wheel hollow wear greatly changes the wheel-rail contact status resulting in a very dispersed and non-uniform distribution of wheel-rail contact points Under sucha severe condition the wheel-rail two-point contact behaviorwill occurr frequently It should be noted that the wheel-railtwo-point contact or multipoint contact behavior will in-tensify wheel-rail interaction and then increase the wear anddamage of wheel and rail profiles

(e rolling radius difference equivalent conicity contactangle and contact angle parameters are other four importantwheel-rail rolling contact geometric parameters It can beseen from Figure 12(a) that when the new wheel-rail profileis matched the rolling radius difference increases slowlywith wheel set lateral displacement less than 7mm Whenthe wheel set displacement is greater than 7mm the rollingradius difference increases sharply At this time the wheel-rail contact point approaches the wheel flange and the curveof rolling circle radius difference presents a nonlinear changelaw But for the worn wheels the fluctuation of rolling radiusdifference increases obviously when the lateral wheel setdisplacement is in the range of 1ndash9mm (e variationtendency of the rolling radius difference of the wheels withtravel distances of 83000 and 169000 km are similar andthe fluctuation of the case with travel distances of192000 km is the most intense

For the new profile the equivalent conicity Figure 12(b))keeps within 01 and changes smoothly when the wheel setdisplacement is less than 8mm But the equivalent conicityof the worn wheel profiles are obviously larger than that ofthe new profile when the wheel set displacement is largerthan 1mm(e equivalent conicity of the worn wheel profilewith travel distances of 192000 km is larger than that ofother cases when the wheel set displacement is in the rangeof 1ndash9mm (e equivalent conicity with a wheel set dis-placement of 15mm is equal to 028 According to theKlingel principle when lateral span and rolling radius of awheel set are kept constant an increasing equivalent conicitywill increase the bogie hunting motion frequency and finallydecrease the vehicle running stability

(e variation of contact angle and contact angle pa-rameter are shown in Figures 12(c) and 12(d) (e contactangle parameter ε is used for linear approximation of thefunction E(y) on the interval of the lateral shift of the wheelset

Figure 12 shows that the change of contact angle is gentlefor the new wheels when the lateral displacement is in therange of minus 7ndash8mm But for the worn wheels the fluctuation

range of contact angle becomes larger and there are manysudden changes when the lateral wheel set displacement isnegative With the increasing train travel mileage thecontact characteristics between wheel and rail deterioratewhich led to the increase in the wheel-rail contact angle evariation trend of wheel-rail contact angle parameters issimilar to that of the contact angle

e above results show that the wheel hollow wear has agreat inuence on the geometric parameters of the wheel-railcontact which can aggravate the wheel-rail interaction andnally aect the train-track-bridge interactions

4 Results and Discussions

e proposed model shown in Section 2 was applied topredict the vertical and lateral responses of the high-speedtrain-track-bridge system under new and worn wheel pro-les in which a Chinese high-speed train passing through along-span continuous girder bridge (see Figure 13) at thespeed of 350 kmh was considered Based on the measuredhigh-speed train worn wheel proles shown in Section 3 andnumerical simulations the inuences of wheel hollow wearon vibration responses of the high-speed train-track-bridgesystem are discussed

41 Illustration of the Bridge e Chengjiang bridge locatedin Hechi City of China was selected as example It is a super-large continuous concrete girder bridge on the Nanning-Guizhou high-speed railway in which the bridge span is(915 + 180 + 915) m and the approach bridge is a 24-mprestressed concrete simply supported bridge A double-track railway is positioned on the bridge and the transversedistance between the railway lines is 50m e bridge bodyis mainly made of C55 concrete and the arch ribs are madeof composite materials and steel cables e overall size ofthe bridge is shown in Figure 13e second span box girderof the bridge contains transverse webs which can enhance

the stiness of the whole bridge structure e cross sectionand the main dimensions of the girder are shown inFigure 14

42 FE Model of the Chengjiang Bridge In the FE modellingof the Chengjiang bridge several types of elements wereapplied to simulate the distinct parts of the bridge Specif-ically 3D two-node EulerndashBernoulli beam elements(BEAM188) were used to simulate the arch ribs transversestructures and diagonal structures based on the actual shapeand geometric dimensions of the cross-section propertiesTwo-node uniaxial link (LINKl0) elements were used tomodel the bridge cables with three translational DOFs (pernode x y and z) Elastic four-node axisymmetric quadri-lateral shell elements (SHELL63) with both membrane andbending capabilities were used to simulate the bridge webdeck and other structures Shell element is not suitable forthe middle and two ends because of their large thickness Sosolid element (SOLID185) is used to simulate these partsConnection between dierent types of cells is accomplishedby coupling nodes with CERIGmethod which can eliminatethe calculation error caused by dierent types of elementsDOFs inconsistency

According to the constraints prescribed in the bridgebearing arrangement (see Figure 15) the girder body and pierare connected by the node coupled method e arrow rep-resents the release direction of the DOFs whereas the DOF inthe arrow direction is not constrained For example a singleldquordquo represents that both horizontal and vertical DOFs areconstrained and xed e overall layout of the bridge FEmodel is shown in Figure 16 e model consists of 98118elements and 99938 nodes which meets the requirement ofcalculation accuracy through the numerical testse two endsof the bridge were connected to the 24 m-length simplesupported beam bridges ree-span simple supported beambridges were arranged on each side which can be simulated asconventional beam elements and coupled with the nodes at

43 Results Discussion and Comparisons Based on theproposed high-speed train-track-bridgemodel the influenceof wheel hollow wear on the vibration characteristics of thetrain-track-bridge system is investigated and presented inthis section Here the new profile and the worn profile withtravel distance of 192000 km were taken as the input wheelprofiles Since the highest operational speed of high-speedtrains in China is 350 kmh at present the train speed in thesimulations was also set to this value (e time domainsample of track irregularity obtained from the spectraltransformation of low-disturbance track of German high-speed railway was applied

Figures 17ndash19 show the wheel-rail forces of high-speedtrains with new and worn profiles in time and frequencydomains Figure 17(a) shows that wheel wear has a certaineffect on wheel-rail force After severe wheel wear it willincrease the impact between wheel and rail leading to asharp increase in some peak values of wheel-rail forceFigure 17(b) shows that wheel wear has a greater impact onthe lateral force of wheel and rail than the vertical force ofwheel and rail (e amplitude of the lateral force of wheeland rail wearing wheel increases obviously (e maximumwheel-rail vertical force before and after wheel wear changedfrom 22158 kN to 23490 kN which increased by 601(emaximum wheel-rail lateral force before and after wheelwear increased from 984 kN to 1438 kN which increased by461

In the frequency domain wheel wear results in a slightincrease in the high frequency of wheel-rail vertical force as

shown in Figure 18 In the meanwhile the increase in wheel-rail lateral force is mainly reflected in the middle and highfrequencies from Figure 19 (is shows that the wear ofwheel material mainly affects the wheel-rail force in themiddle and high frequencies domain but has little effect onthe low frequency wheel-rail force

(e dynamic responses of the bridge with initial (new)wheel profile and worn profile at 350 kmh speed are plottedin Figures 20ndash25 (e vertical and lateral displacements ofthe midsection of the main span are shown in Figure 20 Itreveals that wheel wear has little effect on the bridge dis-placement as the bridge displacement of the cases with wornand new profiles are basically the same (e vertical dis-placement curves are basically the same before and after thewheel profile changes and the maximum values maintain atabout 36mm (e lateral displacement curves fluctuateslightly but the amplitudes are quite small the maximumvalues are stable around 011mm

Figures 21 and 22 depict the time histories of bridgevertical and lateral displacement of the left and right-sidespans Similar to the dynamic response of the main spanwheel wear has no obvious effect on the vertical displace-ment of the bridge while small difference is found in thelateral displacements (e vertical displacement peak valuesof left and right span attain about 2mm and the lateraldisplacement peak values fluctuates around 006mm

Figures 23 and 24 display the time domain diagram ofbridge vertical and lateral acceleration of the main span Itis not difficult to observe that the wheel wear has obviouseffects on the vibration acceleration of the bridge (emaximum vertical accelerations of the cases with new andworn profiles were 00525ms2 and 00643ms2 re-spectively which increased by 231 (e maximumvalues of lateral accelerations of the cases with new andworn profiles are 00138ms2 and 00222ms2 re-spectively with an increase of 609(e results show thatthe responses of bridge accelerations obtained with themodels considering the wheel worn profiles are higherthan those obtained by the models without consideringwheel wear

Figure 25 shows the PSD diagram of the bridge verticaland lateral accelerations presented in Figures 23 and 24 Forthe vertical acceleration the main frequencies appeararound 053Hz 759Hz 229Hz and 269Hz But there isno obvious difference between the PSDs of the cases withnew and worn profiles (is means that the wheel hollow

wear has little effect on frequency domain curves of bridgevertical acceleration in the range of 0sim30Hz For the lateralacceleration the PSD changes obviously After the wheelprofile wear occurring the peak frequency appearing at153Hz decreases significantly while the peak frequencynear 396Hz increases obviously It is noted that the peakfrequencies of 153Hz and 396Hz are corresponded to thelateral modal shapes of the bridge girders It indicates that

the wheel hollow wear may cause the amplitude of bridgevibration acceleration to change or shift in frequencydomain

bridge under different wheel worn profiles can be sum-marized as follows

(1) (e wheel hollow wear has little effect on the dy-namic displacement of the long-span bridge (ereason should be that the bridge main girder has alarge overall stiffness as it is made of high-strengthconcrete material thus the displacement of thebridge is mainly related to the axle load and dis-tribution characteristics of the train

(2) (e maximum bridge accelerations increase fast inlateral and vertical directions with the wheel weardepth increase It shows that both vertical and lateralbridge accelerations are greatly affected by thechange of wheel profile

5 Conclusions

(is paper reported a study of the high-speed train-track-bridge dynamic interactions considering the wheel-railcontact nonlinearity due to hollow worn wheel profiles Anonlinear rigid-flexible coupled model of a high-speed traintravelling on a long-span continuous girder bridge wasestablished (e accuracy of the model is validated bycomparing with the measured data (e vertical and lateraldynamic responses of the high-speed train-track-bridgesystem under new and worn wheel profiles were discussed

(e simulation results have shown that the wheel hollowwear of high-speed trains has a great influence on thegeometric parameters of the wheel-rail contact which canaggravate the wheel-rail interaction and finally deterioratesthe train-track-bridge interactions (e wheel wear has littleeffect on the bridge dynamic displacement However thebridge vertical and lateral accelerations increase with theaccumulation of the wheel hollow wear It is suggested thatthe influence of worn wheel-rail profiles should be con-sidered in the dynamic analysis of train-track-bridge in-teraction during the stage of bridge structure design andsafety assessment

section of the worn wheel tread around nominal rollingcircle is consistent with the new wheel tread

Figure 10 shows the wear distribution along the wheelwidth for dierent travelling distances It indicates that themain wear region on the wheel tread concentrates on thearea ranging from minus 20 to 20mm around the nominal rollingcircle and the wear in the ange area is relatively light isregion is the main contact region between the wheel and therail With the train travelling distance increase the wheelwear depth in this region aggravates gradually According tothe eld measurement results the maximum wheel weardepth of the train with travelling distances of 83000 km132000 km 169000 km and 192000 km attain 034mm052mm 064mm and 072mm respectively as shown in

Figure 10 e region of the worn wheel proles near thenominal rolling circle presents an obvious concave shapewhich substantially aects the wheel-rail contact geometrye location of the maximum wheel hollow wear depthappears at about +3mm from the nominal rolling circleradius of the wheel prole

It should be noted that the wheel hollow wear hasreached the limit regulated by Railway Electric MultipleUnits Operation and Maintaining Regulation [43] aftertravelling about 210000 km and the wheel tread of the testedhigh-speed train is required to be reproled at that time

and new profiles were carried out respectively (e newCHN60 profile was applied in these analyses Figure 11shows the location and layout of contact points of newand worn wheel profiles under different travel mileage Inactual operation of high-speed trains the wheel set lateraldisplacement is generally within the range of 10mm so thelateral displacement in Figure 11 was set at minus 10sim10mm

It is easy to see that the distribution of wheel-rail contactpoints is concentrated when the new wheel profile matcheswith the new CHN60 profile In this case the distribution ofwheel-rail contact points near the wheel flange side is sparseand uniform which is an ideal one-point contact situationBut when the wheel travel distance is increased to 83000 kmthe wheel-rail contact status evolved from the one-pointcontact to the multipoint contact and the distribution ofwheel-rail contact points appears in a larger area (e wornwheel-rail contact situations of the wheel travel distanceincreased to 132000 and 169000 km are similar to that of83000 km Compared with the new wheel-rail contact sit-uation the worn wheel-rail contact points are more dis-persed and nonuniform (e contact points at the wheelflange area increase which also slightly shift to the insidecorner of the railsWhen the wheel travel distance is increasedto 192000 km the worn wheel-rail system has an obvioustwo-point contact trend Two concentrated wheel-rail contact

point areas appear in the center and inside corner of the rails(is means the wheel hollow wear greatly changes the wheel-rail contact status resulting in a very dispersed and non-uniform distribution of wheel-rail contact points Under sucha severe condition the wheel-rail two-point contact behaviorwill occurr frequently It should be noted that the wheel-railtwo-point contact or multipoint contact behavior will in-tensify wheel-rail interaction and then increase the wear anddamage of wheel and rail profiles

(e rolling radius difference equivalent conicity contactangle and contact angle parameters are other four importantwheel-rail rolling contact geometric parameters It can beseen from Figure 12(a) that when the new wheel-rail profileis matched the rolling radius difference increases slowlywith wheel set lateral displacement less than 7mm Whenthe wheel set displacement is greater than 7mm the rollingradius difference increases sharply At this time the wheel-rail contact point approaches the wheel flange and the curveof rolling circle radius difference presents a nonlinear changelaw But for the worn wheels the fluctuation of rolling radiusdifference increases obviously when the lateral wheel setdisplacement is in the range of 1ndash9mm (e variationtendency of the rolling radius difference of the wheels withtravel distances of 83000 and 169000 km are similar andthe fluctuation of the case with travel distances of192000 km is the most intense

For the new profile the equivalent conicity Figure 12(b))keeps within 01 and changes smoothly when the wheel setdisplacement is less than 8mm But the equivalent conicityof the worn wheel profiles are obviously larger than that ofthe new profile when the wheel set displacement is largerthan 1mm(e equivalent conicity of the worn wheel profilewith travel distances of 192000 km is larger than that ofother cases when the wheel set displacement is in the rangeof 1ndash9mm (e equivalent conicity with a wheel set dis-placement of 15mm is equal to 028 According to theKlingel principle when lateral span and rolling radius of awheel set are kept constant an increasing equivalent conicitywill increase the bogie hunting motion frequency and finallydecrease the vehicle running stability

(e variation of contact angle and contact angle pa-rameter are shown in Figures 12(c) and 12(d) (e contactangle parameter ε is used for linear approximation of thefunction E(y) on the interval of the lateral shift of the wheelset

range of contact angle becomes larger and there are manysudden changes when the lateral wheel set displacement isnegative With the increasing train travel mileage thecontact characteristics between wheel and rail deterioratewhich led to the increase in the wheel-rail contact angle evariation trend of wheel-rail contact angle parameters issimilar to that of the contact angle

e above results show that the wheel hollow wear has agreat inuence on the geometric parameters of the wheel-railcontact which can aggravate the wheel-rail interaction andnally aect the train-track-bridge interactions

4 Results and Discussions

e proposed model shown in Section 2 was applied topredict the vertical and lateral responses of the high-speedtrain-track-bridge system under new and worn wheel pro-les in which a Chinese high-speed train passing through along-span continuous girder bridge (see Figure 13) at thespeed of 350 kmh was considered Based on the measuredhigh-speed train worn wheel proles shown in Section 3 andnumerical simulations the inuences of wheel hollow wearon vibration responses of the high-speed train-track-bridgesystem are discussed

41 Illustration of the Bridge e Chengjiang bridge locatedin Hechi City of China was selected as example It is a super-large continuous concrete girder bridge on the Nanning-Guizhou high-speed railway in which the bridge span is(915 + 180 + 915) m and the approach bridge is a 24-mprestressed concrete simply supported bridge A double-track railway is positioned on the bridge and the transversedistance between the railway lines is 50m e bridge bodyis mainly made of C55 concrete and the arch ribs are madeof composite materials and steel cables e overall size ofthe bridge is shown in Figure 13e second span box girderof the bridge contains transverse webs which can enhance

the stiness of the whole bridge structure e cross sectionand the main dimensions of the girder are shown inFigure 14

42 FE Model of the Chengjiang Bridge In the FE modellingof the Chengjiang bridge several types of elements wereapplied to simulate the distinct parts of the bridge Specif-ically 3D two-node EulerndashBernoulli beam elements(BEAM188) were used to simulate the arch ribs transversestructures and diagonal structures based on the actual shapeand geometric dimensions of the cross-section propertiesTwo-node uniaxial link (LINKl0) elements were used tomodel the bridge cables with three translational DOFs (pernode x y and z) Elastic four-node axisymmetric quadri-lateral shell elements (SHELL63) with both membrane andbending capabilities were used to simulate the bridge webdeck and other structures Shell element is not suitable forthe middle and two ends because of their large thickness Sosolid element (SOLID185) is used to simulate these partsConnection between dierent types of cells is accomplishedby coupling nodes with CERIGmethod which can eliminatethe calculation error caused by dierent types of elementsDOFs inconsistency

According to the constraints prescribed in the bridgebearing arrangement (see Figure 15) the girder body and pierare connected by the node coupled method e arrow rep-resents the release direction of the DOFs whereas the DOF inthe arrow direction is not constrained For example a singleldquordquo represents that both horizontal and vertical DOFs areconstrained and xed e overall layout of the bridge FEmodel is shown in Figure 16 e model consists of 98118elements and 99938 nodes which meets the requirement ofcalculation accuracy through the numerical testse two endsof the bridge were connected to the 24 m-length simplesupported beam bridges ree-span simple supported beambridges were arranged on each side which can be simulated asconventional beam elements and coupled with the nodes at

43 Results Discussion and Comparisons Based on theproposed high-speed train-track-bridgemodel the influenceof wheel hollow wear on the vibration characteristics of thetrain-track-bridge system is investigated and presented inthis section Here the new profile and the worn profile withtravel distance of 192000 km were taken as the input wheelprofiles Since the highest operational speed of high-speedtrains in China is 350 kmh at present the train speed in thesimulations was also set to this value (e time domainsample of track irregularity obtained from the spectraltransformation of low-disturbance track of German high-speed railway was applied

Figures 17ndash19 show the wheel-rail forces of high-speedtrains with new and worn profiles in time and frequencydomains Figure 17(a) shows that wheel wear has a certaineffect on wheel-rail force After severe wheel wear it willincrease the impact between wheel and rail leading to asharp increase in some peak values of wheel-rail forceFigure 17(b) shows that wheel wear has a greater impact onthe lateral force of wheel and rail than the vertical force ofwheel and rail (e amplitude of the lateral force of wheeland rail wearing wheel increases obviously (e maximumwheel-rail vertical force before and after wheel wear changedfrom 22158 kN to 23490 kN which increased by 601(emaximum wheel-rail lateral force before and after wheelwear increased from 984 kN to 1438 kN which increased by461

In the frequency domain wheel wear results in a slightincrease in the high frequency of wheel-rail vertical force as

shown in Figure 18 In the meanwhile the increase in wheel-rail lateral force is mainly reflected in the middle and highfrequencies from Figure 19 (is shows that the wear ofwheel material mainly affects the wheel-rail force in themiddle and high frequencies domain but has little effect onthe low frequency wheel-rail force

(e dynamic responses of the bridge with initial (new)wheel profile and worn profile at 350 kmh speed are plottedin Figures 20ndash25 (e vertical and lateral displacements ofthe midsection of the main span are shown in Figure 20 Itreveals that wheel wear has little effect on the bridge dis-placement as the bridge displacement of the cases with wornand new profiles are basically the same (e vertical dis-placement curves are basically the same before and after thewheel profile changes and the maximum values maintain atabout 36mm (e lateral displacement curves fluctuateslightly but the amplitudes are quite small the maximumvalues are stable around 011mm

Figures 21 and 22 depict the time histories of bridgevertical and lateral displacement of the left and right-sidespans Similar to the dynamic response of the main spanwheel wear has no obvious effect on the vertical displace-ment of the bridge while small difference is found in thelateral displacements (e vertical displacement peak valuesof left and right span attain about 2mm and the lateraldisplacement peak values fluctuates around 006mm

Figures 23 and 24 display the time domain diagram ofbridge vertical and lateral acceleration of the main span Itis not difficult to observe that the wheel wear has obviouseffects on the vibration acceleration of the bridge (emaximum vertical accelerations of the cases with new andworn profiles were 00525ms2 and 00643ms2 re-spectively which increased by 231 (e maximumvalues of lateral accelerations of the cases with new andworn profiles are 00138ms2 and 00222ms2 re-spectively with an increase of 609(e results show thatthe responses of bridge accelerations obtained with themodels considering the wheel worn profiles are higherthan those obtained by the models without consideringwheel wear

Figure 25 shows the PSD diagram of the bridge verticaland lateral accelerations presented in Figures 23 and 24 Forthe vertical acceleration the main frequencies appeararound 053Hz 759Hz 229Hz and 269Hz But there isno obvious difference between the PSDs of the cases withnew and worn profiles (is means that the wheel hollow

bridge under different wheel worn profiles can be sum-marized as follows

(1) (e wheel hollow wear has little effect on the dy-namic displacement of the long-span bridge (ereason should be that the bridge main girder has alarge overall stiffness as it is made of high-strengthconcrete material thus the displacement of thebridge is mainly related to the axle load and dis-tribution characteristics of the train

(2) (e maximum bridge accelerations increase fast inlateral and vertical directions with the wheel weardepth increase It shows that both vertical and lateralbridge accelerations are greatly affected by thechange of wheel profile

5 Conclusions

(is paper reported a study of the high-speed train-track-bridge dynamic interactions considering the wheel-railcontact nonlinearity due to hollow worn wheel profiles Anonlinear rigid-flexible coupled model of a high-speed traintravelling on a long-span continuous girder bridge wasestablished (e accuracy of the model is validated bycomparing with the measured data (e vertical and lateraldynamic responses of the high-speed train-track-bridgesystem under new and worn wheel profiles were discussed

(e simulation results have shown that the wheel hollowwear of high-speed trains has a great influence on thegeometric parameters of the wheel-rail contact which canaggravate the wheel-rail interaction and finally deterioratesthe train-track-bridge interactions (e wheel wear has littleeffect on the bridge dynamic displacement However thebridge vertical and lateral accelerations increase with theaccumulation of the wheel hollow wear It is suggested thatthe influence of worn wheel-rail profiles should be con-sidered in the dynamic analysis of train-track-bridge in-teraction during the stage of bridge structure design andsafety assessment

and new profiles were carried out respectively (e newCHN60 profile was applied in these analyses Figure 11shows the location and layout of contact points of newand worn wheel profiles under different travel mileage Inactual operation of high-speed trains the wheel set lateraldisplacement is generally within the range of 10mm so thelateral displacement in Figure 11 was set at minus 10sim10mm

It is easy to see that the distribution of wheel-rail contactpoints is concentrated when the new wheel profile matcheswith the new CHN60 profile In this case the distribution ofwheel-rail contact points near the wheel flange side is sparseand uniform which is an ideal one-point contact situationBut when the wheel travel distance is increased to 83000 kmthe wheel-rail contact status evolved from the one-pointcontact to the multipoint contact and the distribution ofwheel-rail contact points appears in a larger area (e wornwheel-rail contact situations of the wheel travel distanceincreased to 132000 and 169000 km are similar to that of83000 km Compared with the new wheel-rail contact sit-uation the worn wheel-rail contact points are more dis-persed and nonuniform (e contact points at the wheelflange area increase which also slightly shift to the insidecorner of the railsWhen the wheel travel distance is increasedto 192000 km the worn wheel-rail system has an obvioustwo-point contact trend Two concentrated wheel-rail contact

point areas appear in the center and inside corner of the rails(is means the wheel hollow wear greatly changes the wheel-rail contact status resulting in a very dispersed and non-uniform distribution of wheel-rail contact points Under sucha severe condition the wheel-rail two-point contact behaviorwill occurr frequently It should be noted that the wheel-railtwo-point contact or multipoint contact behavior will in-tensify wheel-rail interaction and then increase the wear anddamage of wheel and rail profiles

(e rolling radius difference equivalent conicity contactangle and contact angle parameters are other four importantwheel-rail rolling contact geometric parameters It can beseen from Figure 12(a) that when the new wheel-rail profileis matched the rolling radius difference increases slowlywith wheel set lateral displacement less than 7mm Whenthe wheel set displacement is greater than 7mm the rollingradius difference increases sharply At this time the wheel-rail contact point approaches the wheel flange and the curveof rolling circle radius difference presents a nonlinear changelaw But for the worn wheels the fluctuation of rolling radiusdifference increases obviously when the lateral wheel setdisplacement is in the range of 1ndash9mm (e variationtendency of the rolling radius difference of the wheels withtravel distances of 83000 and 169000 km are similar andthe fluctuation of the case with travel distances of192000 km is the most intense

For the new profile the equivalent conicity Figure 12(b))keeps within 01 and changes smoothly when the wheel setdisplacement is less than 8mm But the equivalent conicityof the worn wheel profiles are obviously larger than that ofthe new profile when the wheel set displacement is largerthan 1mm(e equivalent conicity of the worn wheel profilewith travel distances of 192000 km is larger than that ofother cases when the wheel set displacement is in the rangeof 1ndash9mm (e equivalent conicity with a wheel set dis-placement of 15mm is equal to 028 According to theKlingel principle when lateral span and rolling radius of awheel set are kept constant an increasing equivalent conicitywill increase the bogie hunting motion frequency and finallydecrease the vehicle running stability

(e variation of contact angle and contact angle pa-rameter are shown in Figures 12(c) and 12(d) (e contactangle parameter ε is used for linear approximation of thefunction E(y) on the interval of the lateral shift of the wheelset

(e designation βl(y) βr(y) are introduced for thecontact angles of the left and right wheels depending on thewheel set shift If the left and right pairs of profiles are equalthe value βl(0) βr(0) β0 corresponds to the contact anglefor symmetric position of the wheel set (e dependence onthe lateral shift is used for definition of the contact angleparameter Here S is the distance between the wheel setrolling radius

Figure 12 shows that the change of contact angle is gentlefor the new wheels when the lateral displacement is in therange of minus 7ndash8mm But for the worn wheels the fluctuation

range of contact angle becomes larger and there are manysudden changes when the lateral wheel set displacement isnegative With the increasing train travel mileage thecontact characteristics between wheel and rail deterioratewhich led to the increase in the wheel-rail contact angle evariation trend of wheel-rail contact angle parameters issimilar to that of the contact angle

e above results show that the wheel hollow wear has agreat inuence on the geometric parameters of the wheel-railcontact which can aggravate the wheel-rail interaction andnally aect the train-track-bridge interactions

4 Results and Discussions

e proposed model shown in Section 2 was applied topredict the vertical and lateral responses of the high-speedtrain-track-bridge system under new and worn wheel pro-les in which a Chinese high-speed train passing through along-span continuous girder bridge (see Figure 13) at thespeed of 350 kmh was considered Based on the measuredhigh-speed train worn wheel proles shown in Section 3 andnumerical simulations the inuences of wheel hollow wearon vibration responses of the high-speed train-track-bridgesystem are discussed

41 Illustration of the Bridge e Chengjiang bridge locatedin Hechi City of China was selected as example It is a super-large continuous concrete girder bridge on the Nanning-Guizhou high-speed railway in which the bridge span is(915 + 180 + 915) m and the approach bridge is a 24-mprestressed concrete simply supported bridge A double-track railway is positioned on the bridge and the transversedistance between the railway lines is 50m e bridge bodyis mainly made of C55 concrete and the arch ribs are madeof composite materials and steel cables e overall size ofthe bridge is shown in Figure 13e second span box girderof the bridge contains transverse webs which can enhance

the stiness of the whole bridge structure e cross sectionand the main dimensions of the girder are shown inFigure 14

42 FE Model of the Chengjiang Bridge In the FE modellingof the Chengjiang bridge several types of elements wereapplied to simulate the distinct parts of the bridge Specif-ically 3D two-node EulerndashBernoulli beam elements(BEAM188) were used to simulate the arch ribs transversestructures and diagonal structures based on the actual shapeand geometric dimensions of the cross-section propertiesTwo-node uniaxial link (LINKl0) elements were used tomodel the bridge cables with three translational DOFs (pernode x y and z) Elastic four-node axisymmetric quadri-lateral shell elements (SHELL63) with both membrane andbending capabilities were used to simulate the bridge webdeck and other structures Shell element is not suitable forthe middle and two ends because of their large thickness Sosolid element (SOLID185) is used to simulate these partsConnection between dierent types of cells is accomplishedby coupling nodes with CERIGmethod which can eliminatethe calculation error caused by dierent types of elementsDOFs inconsistency

According to the constraints prescribed in the bridgebearing arrangement (see Figure 15) the girder body and pierare connected by the node coupled method e arrow rep-resents the release direction of the DOFs whereas the DOF inthe arrow direction is not constrained For example a singleldquordquo represents that both horizontal and vertical DOFs areconstrained and xed e overall layout of the bridge FEmodel is shown in Figure 16 e model consists of 98118elements and 99938 nodes which meets the requirement ofcalculation accuracy through the numerical testse two endsof the bridge were connected to the 24 m-length simplesupported beam bridges ree-span simple supported beambridges were arranged on each side which can be simulated asconventional beam elements and coupled with the nodes at

43 Results Discussion and Comparisons Based on theproposed high-speed train-track-bridgemodel the influenceof wheel hollow wear on the vibration characteristics of thetrain-track-bridge system is investigated and presented inthis section Here the new profile and the worn profile withtravel distance of 192000 km were taken as the input wheelprofiles Since the highest operational speed of high-speedtrains in China is 350 kmh at present the train speed in thesimulations was also set to this value (e time domainsample of track irregularity obtained from the spectraltransformation of low-disturbance track of German high-speed railway was applied

Figures 17ndash19 show the wheel-rail forces of high-speedtrains with new and worn profiles in time and frequencydomains Figure 17(a) shows that wheel wear has a certaineffect on wheel-rail force After severe wheel wear it willincrease the impact between wheel and rail leading to asharp increase in some peak values of wheel-rail forceFigure 17(b) shows that wheel wear has a greater impact onthe lateral force of wheel and rail than the vertical force ofwheel and rail (e amplitude of the lateral force of wheeland rail wearing wheel increases obviously (e maximumwheel-rail vertical force before and after wheel wear changedfrom 22158 kN to 23490 kN which increased by 601(emaximum wheel-rail lateral force before and after wheelwear increased from 984 kN to 1438 kN which increased by461

In the frequency domain wheel wear results in a slightincrease in the high frequency of wheel-rail vertical force as

shown in Figure 18 In the meanwhile the increase in wheel-rail lateral force is mainly reflected in the middle and highfrequencies from Figure 19 (is shows that the wear ofwheel material mainly affects the wheel-rail force in themiddle and high frequencies domain but has little effect onthe low frequency wheel-rail force

(e dynamic responses of the bridge with initial (new)wheel profile and worn profile at 350 kmh speed are plottedin Figures 20ndash25 (e vertical and lateral displacements ofthe midsection of the main span are shown in Figure 20 Itreveals that wheel wear has little effect on the bridge dis-placement as the bridge displacement of the cases with wornand new profiles are basically the same (e vertical dis-placement curves are basically the same before and after thewheel profile changes and the maximum values maintain atabout 36mm (e lateral displacement curves fluctuateslightly but the amplitudes are quite small the maximumvalues are stable around 011mm

Figures 21 and 22 depict the time histories of bridgevertical and lateral displacement of the left and right-sidespans Similar to the dynamic response of the main spanwheel wear has no obvious effect on the vertical displace-ment of the bridge while small difference is found in thelateral displacements (e vertical displacement peak valuesof left and right span attain about 2mm and the lateraldisplacement peak values fluctuates around 006mm

Figures 23 and 24 display the time domain diagram ofbridge vertical and lateral acceleration of the main span Itis not difficult to observe that the wheel wear has obviouseffects on the vibration acceleration of the bridge (emaximum vertical accelerations of the cases with new andworn profiles were 00525ms2 and 00643ms2 re-spectively which increased by 231 (e maximumvalues of lateral accelerations of the cases with new andworn profiles are 00138ms2 and 00222ms2 re-spectively with an increase of 609(e results show thatthe responses of bridge accelerations obtained with themodels considering the wheel worn profiles are higherthan those obtained by the models without consideringwheel wear

Figure 25 shows the PSD diagram of the bridge verticaland lateral accelerations presented in Figures 23 and 24 Forthe vertical acceleration the main frequencies appeararound 053Hz 759Hz 229Hz and 269Hz But there isno obvious difference between the PSDs of the cases withnew and worn profiles (is means that the wheel hollow

wear has little effect on frequency domain curves of bridgevertical acceleration in the range of 0sim30Hz For the lateralacceleration the PSD changes obviously After the wheelprofile wear occurring the peak frequency appearing at153Hz decreases significantly while the peak frequencynear 396Hz increases obviously It is noted that the peakfrequencies of 153Hz and 396Hz are corresponded to thelateral modal shapes of the bridge girders It indicates that

the wheel hollow wear may cause the amplitude of bridgevibration acceleration to change or shift in frequencydomain

bridge under different wheel worn profiles can be sum-marized as follows

(1) (e wheel hollow wear has little effect on the dy-namic displacement of the long-span bridge (ereason should be that the bridge main girder has alarge overall stiffness as it is made of high-strengthconcrete material thus the displacement of thebridge is mainly related to the axle load and dis-tribution characteristics of the train

(2) (e maximum bridge accelerations increase fast inlateral and vertical directions with the wheel weardepth increase It shows that both vertical and lateralbridge accelerations are greatly affected by thechange of wheel profile

5 Conclusions

(is paper reported a study of the high-speed train-track-bridge dynamic interactions considering the wheel-railcontact nonlinearity due to hollow worn wheel profiles Anonlinear rigid-flexible coupled model of a high-speed traintravelling on a long-span continuous girder bridge wasestablished (e accuracy of the model is validated bycomparing with the measured data (e vertical and lateraldynamic responses of the high-speed train-track-bridgesystem under new and worn wheel profiles were discussed

(e simulation results have shown that the wheel hollowwear of high-speed trains has a great influence on thegeometric parameters of the wheel-rail contact which canaggravate the wheel-rail interaction and finally deterioratesthe train-track-bridge interactions (e wheel wear has littleeffect on the bridge dynamic displacement However thebridge vertical and lateral accelerations increase with theaccumulation of the wheel hollow wear It is suggested thatthe influence of worn wheel-rail profiles should be con-sidered in the dynamic analysis of train-track-bridge in-teraction during the stage of bridge structure design andsafety assessment

range of contact angle becomes larger and there are manysudden changes when the lateral wheel set displacement isnegative With the increasing train travel mileage thecontact characteristics between wheel and rail deterioratewhich led to the increase in the wheel-rail contact angle evariation trend of wheel-rail contact angle parameters issimilar to that of the contact angle

e above results show that the wheel hollow wear has agreat inuence on the geometric parameters of the wheel-railcontact which can aggravate the wheel-rail interaction andnally aect the train-track-bridge interactions

4 Results and Discussions

e proposed model shown in Section 2 was applied topredict the vertical and lateral responses of the high-speedtrain-track-bridge system under new and worn wheel pro-les in which a Chinese high-speed train passing through along-span continuous girder bridge (see Figure 13) at thespeed of 350 kmh was considered Based on the measuredhigh-speed train worn wheel proles shown in Section 3 andnumerical simulations the inuences of wheel hollow wearon vibration responses of the high-speed train-track-bridgesystem are discussed

41 Illustration of the Bridge e Chengjiang bridge locatedin Hechi City of China was selected as example It is a super-large continuous concrete girder bridge on the Nanning-Guizhou high-speed railway in which the bridge span is(915 + 180 + 915) m and the approach bridge is a 24-mprestressed concrete simply supported bridge A double-track railway is positioned on the bridge and the transversedistance between the railway lines is 50m e bridge bodyis mainly made of C55 concrete and the arch ribs are madeof composite materials and steel cables e overall size ofthe bridge is shown in Figure 13e second span box girderof the bridge contains transverse webs which can enhance

the stiness of the whole bridge structure e cross sectionand the main dimensions of the girder are shown inFigure 14

42 FE Model of the Chengjiang Bridge In the FE modellingof the Chengjiang bridge several types of elements wereapplied to simulate the distinct parts of the bridge Specif-ically 3D two-node EulerndashBernoulli beam elements(BEAM188) were used to simulate the arch ribs transversestructures and diagonal structures based on the actual shapeand geometric dimensions of the cross-section propertiesTwo-node uniaxial link (LINKl0) elements were used tomodel the bridge cables with three translational DOFs (pernode x y and z) Elastic four-node axisymmetric quadri-lateral shell elements (SHELL63) with both membrane andbending capabilities were used to simulate the bridge webdeck and other structures Shell element is not suitable forthe middle and two ends because of their large thickness Sosolid element (SOLID185) is used to simulate these partsConnection between dierent types of cells is accomplishedby coupling nodes with CERIGmethod which can eliminatethe calculation error caused by dierent types of elementsDOFs inconsistency

According to the constraints prescribed in the bridgebearing arrangement (see Figure 15) the girder body and pierare connected by the node coupled method e arrow rep-resents the release direction of the DOFs whereas the DOF inthe arrow direction is not constrained For example a singleldquordquo represents that both horizontal and vertical DOFs areconstrained and xed e overall layout of the bridge FEmodel is shown in Figure 16 e model consists of 98118elements and 99938 nodes which meets the requirement ofcalculation accuracy through the numerical testse two endsof the bridge were connected to the 24 m-length simplesupported beam bridges ree-span simple supported beambridges were arranged on each side which can be simulated asconventional beam elements and coupled with the nodes at

43 Results Discussion and Comparisons Based on theproposed high-speed train-track-bridgemodel the influenceof wheel hollow wear on the vibration characteristics of thetrain-track-bridge system is investigated and presented inthis section Here the new profile and the worn profile withtravel distance of 192000 km were taken as the input wheelprofiles Since the highest operational speed of high-speedtrains in China is 350 kmh at present the train speed in thesimulations was also set to this value (e time domainsample of track irregularity obtained from the spectraltransformation of low-disturbance track of German high-speed railway was applied

Figures 17ndash19 show the wheel-rail forces of high-speedtrains with new and worn profiles in time and frequencydomains Figure 17(a) shows that wheel wear has a certaineffect on wheel-rail force After severe wheel wear it willincrease the impact between wheel and rail leading to asharp increase in some peak values of wheel-rail forceFigure 17(b) shows that wheel wear has a greater impact onthe lateral force of wheel and rail than the vertical force ofwheel and rail (e amplitude of the lateral force of wheeland rail wearing wheel increases obviously (e maximumwheel-rail vertical force before and after wheel wear changedfrom 22158 kN to 23490 kN which increased by 601(emaximum wheel-rail lateral force before and after wheelwear increased from 984 kN to 1438 kN which increased by461

In the frequency domain wheel wear results in a slightincrease in the high frequency of wheel-rail vertical force as

shown in Figure 18 In the meanwhile the increase in wheel-rail lateral force is mainly reflected in the middle and highfrequencies from Figure 19 (is shows that the wear ofwheel material mainly affects the wheel-rail force in themiddle and high frequencies domain but has little effect onthe low frequency wheel-rail force

(e dynamic responses of the bridge with initial (new)wheel profile and worn profile at 350 kmh speed are plottedin Figures 20ndash25 (e vertical and lateral displacements ofthe midsection of the main span are shown in Figure 20 Itreveals that wheel wear has little effect on the bridge dis-placement as the bridge displacement of the cases with wornand new profiles are basically the same (e vertical dis-placement curves are basically the same before and after thewheel profile changes and the maximum values maintain atabout 36mm (e lateral displacement curves fluctuateslightly but the amplitudes are quite small the maximumvalues are stable around 011mm

Figures 21 and 22 depict the time histories of bridgevertical and lateral displacement of the left and right-sidespans Similar to the dynamic response of the main spanwheel wear has no obvious effect on the vertical displace-ment of the bridge while small difference is found in thelateral displacements (e vertical displacement peak valuesof left and right span attain about 2mm and the lateraldisplacement peak values fluctuates around 006mm

Figures 23 and 24 display the time domain diagram ofbridge vertical and lateral acceleration of the main span Itis not difficult to observe that the wheel wear has obviouseffects on the vibration acceleration of the bridge (emaximum vertical accelerations of the cases with new andworn profiles were 00525ms2 and 00643ms2 re-spectively which increased by 231 (e maximumvalues of lateral accelerations of the cases with new andworn profiles are 00138ms2 and 00222ms2 re-spectively with an increase of 609(e results show thatthe responses of bridge accelerations obtained with themodels considering the wheel worn profiles are higherthan those obtained by the models without consideringwheel wear

Figure 25 shows the PSD diagram of the bridge verticaland lateral accelerations presented in Figures 23 and 24 Forthe vertical acceleration the main frequencies appeararound 053Hz 759Hz 229Hz and 269Hz But there isno obvious difference between the PSDs of the cases withnew and worn profiles (is means that the wheel hollow

wear has little effect on frequency domain curves of bridgevertical acceleration in the range of 0sim30Hz For the lateralacceleration the PSD changes obviously After the wheelprofile wear occurring the peak frequency appearing at153Hz decreases significantly while the peak frequencynear 396Hz increases obviously It is noted that the peakfrequencies of 153Hz and 396Hz are corresponded to thelateral modal shapes of the bridge girders It indicates that

the wheel hollow wear may cause the amplitude of bridgevibration acceleration to change or shift in frequencydomain

bridge under different wheel worn profiles can be sum-marized as follows

(1) (e wheel hollow wear has little effect on the dy-namic displacement of the long-span bridge (ereason should be that the bridge main girder has alarge overall stiffness as it is made of high-strengthconcrete material thus the displacement of thebridge is mainly related to the axle load and dis-tribution characteristics of the train

(2) (e maximum bridge accelerations increase fast inlateral and vertical directions with the wheel weardepth increase It shows that both vertical and lateralbridge accelerations are greatly affected by thechange of wheel profile

5 Conclusions

(is paper reported a study of the high-speed train-track-bridge dynamic interactions considering the wheel-railcontact nonlinearity due to hollow worn wheel profiles Anonlinear rigid-flexible coupled model of a high-speed traintravelling on a long-span continuous girder bridge wasestablished (e accuracy of the model is validated bycomparing with the measured data (e vertical and lateraldynamic responses of the high-speed train-track-bridgesystem under new and worn wheel profiles were discussed

(e simulation results have shown that the wheel hollowwear of high-speed trains has a great influence on thegeometric parameters of the wheel-rail contact which canaggravate the wheel-rail interaction and finally deterioratesthe train-track-bridge interactions (e wheel wear has littleeffect on the bridge dynamic displacement However thebridge vertical and lateral accelerations increase with theaccumulation of the wheel hollow wear It is suggested thatthe influence of worn wheel-rail profiles should be con-sidered in the dynamic analysis of train-track-bridge in-teraction during the stage of bridge structure design andsafety assessment

range of contact angle becomes larger and there are manysudden changes when the lateral wheel set displacement isnegative With the increasing train travel mileage thecontact characteristics between wheel and rail deterioratewhich led to the increase in the wheel-rail contact angle evariation trend of wheel-rail contact angle parameters issimilar to that of the contact angle

e above results show that the wheel hollow wear has agreat inuence on the geometric parameters of the wheel-railcontact which can aggravate the wheel-rail interaction andnally aect the train-track-bridge interactions

4 Results and Discussions

e proposed model shown in Section 2 was applied topredict the vertical and lateral responses of the high-speedtrain-track-bridge system under new and worn wheel pro-les in which a Chinese high-speed train passing through along-span continuous girder bridge (see Figure 13) at thespeed of 350 kmh was considered Based on the measuredhigh-speed train worn wheel proles shown in Section 3 andnumerical simulations the inuences of wheel hollow wearon vibration responses of the high-speed train-track-bridgesystem are discussed

41 Illustration of the Bridge e Chengjiang bridge locatedin Hechi City of China was selected as example It is a super-large continuous concrete girder bridge on the Nanning-Guizhou high-speed railway in which the bridge span is(915 + 180 + 915) m and the approach bridge is a 24-mprestressed concrete simply supported bridge A double-track railway is positioned on the bridge and the transversedistance between the railway lines is 50m e bridge bodyis mainly made of C55 concrete and the arch ribs are madeof composite materials and steel cables e overall size ofthe bridge is shown in Figure 13e second span box girderof the bridge contains transverse webs which can enhance

the stiness of the whole bridge structure e cross sectionand the main dimensions of the girder are shown inFigure 14

42 FE Model of the Chengjiang Bridge In the FE modellingof the Chengjiang bridge several types of elements wereapplied to simulate the distinct parts of the bridge Specif-ically 3D two-node EulerndashBernoulli beam elements(BEAM188) were used to simulate the arch ribs transversestructures and diagonal structures based on the actual shapeand geometric dimensions of the cross-section propertiesTwo-node uniaxial link (LINKl0) elements were used tomodel the bridge cables with three translational DOFs (pernode x y and z) Elastic four-node axisymmetric quadri-lateral shell elements (SHELL63) with both membrane andbending capabilities were used to simulate the bridge webdeck and other structures Shell element is not suitable forthe middle and two ends because of their large thickness Sosolid element (SOLID185) is used to simulate these partsConnection between dierent types of cells is accomplishedby coupling nodes with CERIGmethod which can eliminatethe calculation error caused by dierent types of elementsDOFs inconsistency

According to the constraints prescribed in the bridgebearing arrangement (see Figure 15) the girder body and pierare connected by the node coupled method e arrow rep-resents the release direction of the DOFs whereas the DOF inthe arrow direction is not constrained For example a singleldquordquo represents that both horizontal and vertical DOFs areconstrained and xed e overall layout of the bridge FEmodel is shown in Figure 16 e model consists of 98118elements and 99938 nodes which meets the requirement ofcalculation accuracy through the numerical testse two endsof the bridge were connected to the 24 m-length simplesupported beam bridges ree-span simple supported beambridges were arranged on each side which can be simulated asconventional beam elements and coupled with the nodes at

43 Results Discussion and Comparisons Based on theproposed high-speed train-track-bridgemodel the influenceof wheel hollow wear on the vibration characteristics of thetrain-track-bridge system is investigated and presented inthis section Here the new profile and the worn profile withtravel distance of 192000 km were taken as the input wheelprofiles Since the highest operational speed of high-speedtrains in China is 350 kmh at present the train speed in thesimulations was also set to this value (e time domainsample of track irregularity obtained from the spectraltransformation of low-disturbance track of German high-speed railway was applied

Figures 17ndash19 show the wheel-rail forces of high-speedtrains with new and worn profiles in time and frequencydomains Figure 17(a) shows that wheel wear has a certaineffect on wheel-rail force After severe wheel wear it willincrease the impact between wheel and rail leading to asharp increase in some peak values of wheel-rail forceFigure 17(b) shows that wheel wear has a greater impact onthe lateral force of wheel and rail than the vertical force ofwheel and rail (e amplitude of the lateral force of wheeland rail wearing wheel increases obviously (e maximumwheel-rail vertical force before and after wheel wear changedfrom 22158 kN to 23490 kN which increased by 601(emaximum wheel-rail lateral force before and after wheelwear increased from 984 kN to 1438 kN which increased by461

In the frequency domain wheel wear results in a slightincrease in the high frequency of wheel-rail vertical force as

shown in Figure 18 In the meanwhile the increase in wheel-rail lateral force is mainly reflected in the middle and highfrequencies from Figure 19 (is shows that the wear ofwheel material mainly affects the wheel-rail force in themiddle and high frequencies domain but has little effect onthe low frequency wheel-rail force

(e dynamic responses of the bridge with initial (new)wheel profile and worn profile at 350 kmh speed are plottedin Figures 20ndash25 (e vertical and lateral displacements ofthe midsection of the main span are shown in Figure 20 Itreveals that wheel wear has little effect on the bridge dis-placement as the bridge displacement of the cases with wornand new profiles are basically the same (e vertical dis-placement curves are basically the same before and after thewheel profile changes and the maximum values maintain atabout 36mm (e lateral displacement curves fluctuateslightly but the amplitudes are quite small the maximumvalues are stable around 011mm

Figures 21 and 22 depict the time histories of bridgevertical and lateral displacement of the left and right-sidespans Similar to the dynamic response of the main spanwheel wear has no obvious effect on the vertical displace-ment of the bridge while small difference is found in thelateral displacements (e vertical displacement peak valuesof left and right span attain about 2mm and the lateraldisplacement peak values fluctuates around 006mm

Figures 23 and 24 display the time domain diagram ofbridge vertical and lateral acceleration of the main span Itis not difficult to observe that the wheel wear has obviouseffects on the vibration acceleration of the bridge (emaximum vertical accelerations of the cases with new andworn profiles were 00525ms2 and 00643ms2 re-spectively which increased by 231 (e maximumvalues of lateral accelerations of the cases with new andworn profiles are 00138ms2 and 00222ms2 re-spectively with an increase of 609(e results show thatthe responses of bridge accelerations obtained with themodels considering the wheel worn profiles are higherthan those obtained by the models without consideringwheel wear

Figure 25 shows the PSD diagram of the bridge verticaland lateral accelerations presented in Figures 23 and 24 Forthe vertical acceleration the main frequencies appeararound 053Hz 759Hz 229Hz and 269Hz But there isno obvious difference between the PSDs of the cases withnew and worn profiles (is means that the wheel hollow

wear has little effect on frequency domain curves of bridgevertical acceleration in the range of 0sim30Hz For the lateralacceleration the PSD changes obviously After the wheelprofile wear occurring the peak frequency appearing at153Hz decreases significantly while the peak frequencynear 396Hz increases obviously It is noted that the peakfrequencies of 153Hz and 396Hz are corresponded to thelateral modal shapes of the bridge girders It indicates that

the wheel hollow wear may cause the amplitude of bridgevibration acceleration to change or shift in frequencydomain

bridge under different wheel worn profiles can be sum-marized as follows

(1) (e wheel hollow wear has little effect on the dy-namic displacement of the long-span bridge (ereason should be that the bridge main girder has alarge overall stiffness as it is made of high-strengthconcrete material thus the displacement of thebridge is mainly related to the axle load and dis-tribution characteristics of the train

(2) (e maximum bridge accelerations increase fast inlateral and vertical directions with the wheel weardepth increase It shows that both vertical and lateralbridge accelerations are greatly affected by thechange of wheel profile

5 Conclusions

(is paper reported a study of the high-speed train-track-bridge dynamic interactions considering the wheel-railcontact nonlinearity due to hollow worn wheel profiles Anonlinear rigid-flexible coupled model of a high-speed traintravelling on a long-span continuous girder bridge wasestablished (e accuracy of the model is validated bycomparing with the measured data (e vertical and lateraldynamic responses of the high-speed train-track-bridgesystem under new and worn wheel profiles were discussed

(e simulation results have shown that the wheel hollowwear of high-speed trains has a great influence on thegeometric parameters of the wheel-rail contact which canaggravate the wheel-rail interaction and finally deterioratesthe train-track-bridge interactions (e wheel wear has littleeffect on the bridge dynamic displacement However thebridge vertical and lateral accelerations increase with theaccumulation of the wheel hollow wear It is suggested thatthe influence of worn wheel-rail profiles should be con-sidered in the dynamic analysis of train-track-bridge in-teraction during the stage of bridge structure design andsafety assessment

43 Results Discussion and Comparisons Based on theproposed high-speed train-track-bridgemodel the influenceof wheel hollow wear on the vibration characteristics of thetrain-track-bridge system is investigated and presented inthis section Here the new profile and the worn profile withtravel distance of 192000 km were taken as the input wheelprofiles Since the highest operational speed of high-speedtrains in China is 350 kmh at present the train speed in thesimulations was also set to this value (e time domainsample of track irregularity obtained from the spectraltransformation of low-disturbance track of German high-speed railway was applied

Figures 17ndash19 show the wheel-rail forces of high-speedtrains with new and worn profiles in time and frequencydomains Figure 17(a) shows that wheel wear has a certaineffect on wheel-rail force After severe wheel wear it willincrease the impact between wheel and rail leading to asharp increase in some peak values of wheel-rail forceFigure 17(b) shows that wheel wear has a greater impact onthe lateral force of wheel and rail than the vertical force ofwheel and rail (e amplitude of the lateral force of wheeland rail wearing wheel increases obviously (e maximumwheel-rail vertical force before and after wheel wear changedfrom 22158 kN to 23490 kN which increased by 601(emaximum wheel-rail lateral force before and after wheelwear increased from 984 kN to 1438 kN which increased by461

In the frequency domain wheel wear results in a slightincrease in the high frequency of wheel-rail vertical force as

shown in Figure 18 In the meanwhile the increase in wheel-rail lateral force is mainly reflected in the middle and highfrequencies from Figure 19 (is shows that the wear ofwheel material mainly affects the wheel-rail force in themiddle and high frequencies domain but has little effect onthe low frequency wheel-rail force

(e dynamic responses of the bridge with initial (new)wheel profile and worn profile at 350 kmh speed are plottedin Figures 20ndash25 (e vertical and lateral displacements ofthe midsection of the main span are shown in Figure 20 Itreveals that wheel wear has little effect on the bridge dis-placement as the bridge displacement of the cases with wornand new profiles are basically the same (e vertical dis-placement curves are basically the same before and after thewheel profile changes and the maximum values maintain atabout 36mm (e lateral displacement curves fluctuateslightly but the amplitudes are quite small the maximumvalues are stable around 011mm

Figures 21 and 22 depict the time histories of bridgevertical and lateral displacement of the left and right-sidespans Similar to the dynamic response of the main spanwheel wear has no obvious effect on the vertical displace-ment of the bridge while small difference is found in thelateral displacements (e vertical displacement peak valuesof left and right span attain about 2mm and the lateraldisplacement peak values fluctuates around 006mm

Figures 23 and 24 display the time domain diagram ofbridge vertical and lateral acceleration of the main span Itis not difficult to observe that the wheel wear has obviouseffects on the vibration acceleration of the bridge (emaximum vertical accelerations of the cases with new andworn profiles were 00525ms2 and 00643ms2 re-spectively which increased by 231 (e maximumvalues of lateral accelerations of the cases with new andworn profiles are 00138ms2 and 00222ms2 re-spectively with an increase of 609(e results show thatthe responses of bridge accelerations obtained with themodels considering the wheel worn profiles are higherthan those obtained by the models without consideringwheel wear

Figure 25 shows the PSD diagram of the bridge verticaland lateral accelerations presented in Figures 23 and 24 Forthe vertical acceleration the main frequencies appeararound 053Hz 759Hz 229Hz and 269Hz But there isno obvious difference between the PSDs of the cases withnew and worn profiles (is means that the wheel hollow

wear has little effect on frequency domain curves of bridgevertical acceleration in the range of 0sim30Hz For the lateralacceleration the PSD changes obviously After the wheelprofile wear occurring the peak frequency appearing at153Hz decreases significantly while the peak frequencynear 396Hz increases obviously It is noted that the peakfrequencies of 153Hz and 396Hz are corresponded to thelateral modal shapes of the bridge girders It indicates that

the wheel hollow wear may cause the amplitude of bridgevibration acceleration to change or shift in frequencydomain

bridge under different wheel worn profiles can be sum-marized as follows

(1) (e wheel hollow wear has little effect on the dy-namic displacement of the long-span bridge (ereason should be that the bridge main girder has alarge overall stiffness as it is made of high-strengthconcrete material thus the displacement of thebridge is mainly related to the axle load and dis-tribution characteristics of the train

(2) (e maximum bridge accelerations increase fast inlateral and vertical directions with the wheel weardepth increase It shows that both vertical and lateralbridge accelerations are greatly affected by thechange of wheel profile

5 Conclusions

(is paper reported a study of the high-speed train-track-bridge dynamic interactions considering the wheel-railcontact nonlinearity due to hollow worn wheel profiles Anonlinear rigid-flexible coupled model of a high-speed traintravelling on a long-span continuous girder bridge wasestablished (e accuracy of the model is validated bycomparing with the measured data (e vertical and lateraldynamic responses of the high-speed train-track-bridgesystem under new and worn wheel profiles were discussed

(e simulation results have shown that the wheel hollowwear of high-speed trains has a great influence on thegeometric parameters of the wheel-rail contact which canaggravate the wheel-rail interaction and finally deterioratesthe train-track-bridge interactions (e wheel wear has littleeffect on the bridge dynamic displacement However thebridge vertical and lateral accelerations increase with theaccumulation of the wheel hollow wear It is suggested thatthe influence of worn wheel-rail profiles should be con-sidered in the dynamic analysis of train-track-bridge in-teraction during the stage of bridge structure design andsafety assessment

(e dynamic responses of the bridge with initial (new)wheel profile and worn profile at 350 kmh speed are plottedin Figures 20ndash25 (e vertical and lateral displacements ofthe midsection of the main span are shown in Figure 20 Itreveals that wheel wear has little effect on the bridge dis-placement as the bridge displacement of the cases with wornand new profiles are basically the same (e vertical dis-placement curves are basically the same before and after thewheel profile changes and the maximum values maintain atabout 36mm (e lateral displacement curves fluctuateslightly but the amplitudes are quite small the maximumvalues are stable around 011mm

Figures 21 and 22 depict the time histories of bridgevertical and lateral displacement of the left and right-sidespans Similar to the dynamic response of the main spanwheel wear has no obvious effect on the vertical displace-ment of the bridge while small difference is found in thelateral displacements (e vertical displacement peak valuesof left and right span attain about 2mm and the lateraldisplacement peak values fluctuates around 006mm

Figures 23 and 24 display the time domain diagram ofbridge vertical and lateral acceleration of the main span Itis not difficult to observe that the wheel wear has obviouseffects on the vibration acceleration of the bridge (emaximum vertical accelerations of the cases with new andworn profiles were 00525ms2 and 00643ms2 re-spectively which increased by 231 (e maximumvalues of lateral accelerations of the cases with new andworn profiles are 00138ms2 and 00222ms2 re-spectively with an increase of 609(e results show thatthe responses of bridge accelerations obtained with themodels considering the wheel worn profiles are higherthan those obtained by the models without consideringwheel wear

the wheel hollow wear may cause the amplitude of bridgevibration acceleration to change or shift in frequencydomain

bridge under different wheel worn profiles can be sum-marized as follows

(1) (e wheel hollow wear has little effect on the dy-namic displacement of the long-span bridge (ereason should be that the bridge main girder has alarge overall stiffness as it is made of high-strengthconcrete material thus the displacement of thebridge is mainly related to the axle load and dis-tribution characteristics of the train

(2) (e maximum bridge accelerations increase fast inlateral and vertical directions with the wheel weardepth increase It shows that both vertical and lateralbridge accelerations are greatly affected by thechange of wheel profile

5 Conclusions

(is paper reported a study of the high-speed train-track-bridge dynamic interactions considering the wheel-railcontact nonlinearity due to hollow worn wheel profiles Anonlinear rigid-flexible coupled model of a high-speed traintravelling on a long-span continuous girder bridge wasestablished (e accuracy of the model is validated bycomparing with the measured data (e vertical and lateraldynamic responses of the high-speed train-track-bridgesystem under new and worn wheel profiles were discussed

(e simulation results have shown that the wheel hollowwear of high-speed trains has a great influence on thegeometric parameters of the wheel-rail contact which canaggravate the wheel-rail interaction and finally deterioratesthe train-track-bridge interactions (e wheel wear has littleeffect on the bridge dynamic displacement However thebridge vertical and lateral accelerations increase with theaccumulation of the wheel hollow wear It is suggested thatthe influence of worn wheel-rail profiles should be con-sidered in the dynamic analysis of train-track-bridge in-teraction during the stage of bridge structure design andsafety assessment

bridge under different wheel worn profiles can be sum-marized as follows

(1) (e wheel hollow wear has little effect on the dy-namic displacement of the long-span bridge (ereason should be that the bridge main girder has alarge overall stiffness as it is made of high-strengthconcrete material thus the displacement of thebridge is mainly related to the axle load and dis-tribution characteristics of the train

(2) (e maximum bridge accelerations increase fast inlateral and vertical directions with the wheel weardepth increase It shows that both vertical and lateralbridge accelerations are greatly affected by thechange of wheel profile

5 Conclusions

(is paper reported a study of the high-speed train-track-bridge dynamic interactions considering the wheel-railcontact nonlinearity due to hollow worn wheel profiles Anonlinear rigid-flexible coupled model of a high-speed traintravelling on a long-span continuous girder bridge wasestablished (e accuracy of the model is validated bycomparing with the measured data (e vertical and lateraldynamic responses of the high-speed train-track-bridgesystem under new and worn wheel profiles were discussed

(e simulation results have shown that the wheel hollowwear of high-speed trains has a great influence on thegeometric parameters of the wheel-rail contact which canaggravate the wheel-rail interaction and finally deterioratesthe train-track-bridge interactions (e wheel wear has littleeffect on the bridge dynamic displacement However thebridge vertical and lateral accelerations increase with theaccumulation of the wheel hollow wear It is suggested thatthe influence of worn wheel-rail profiles should be con-sidered in the dynamic analysis of train-track-bridge in-teraction during the stage of bridge structure design andsafety assessment

bridge under different wheel worn profiles can be sum-marized as follows

(1) (e wheel hollow wear has little effect on the dy-namic displacement of the long-span bridge (ereason should be that the bridge main girder has alarge overall stiffness as it is made of high-strengthconcrete material thus the displacement of thebridge is mainly related to the axle load and dis-tribution characteristics of the train

(2) (e maximum bridge accelerations increase fast inlateral and vertical directions with the wheel weardepth increase It shows that both vertical and lateralbridge accelerations are greatly affected by thechange of wheel profile

5 Conclusions

(is paper reported a study of the high-speed train-track-bridge dynamic interactions considering the wheel-railcontact nonlinearity due to hollow worn wheel profiles Anonlinear rigid-flexible coupled model of a high-speed traintravelling on a long-span continuous girder bridge wasestablished (e accuracy of the model is validated bycomparing with the measured data (e vertical and lateraldynamic responses of the high-speed train-track-bridgesystem under new and worn wheel profiles were discussed

(e simulation results have shown that the wheel hollowwear of high-speed trains has a great influence on thegeometric parameters of the wheel-rail contact which canaggravate the wheel-rail interaction and finally deterioratesthe train-track-bridge interactions (e wheel wear has littleeffect on the bridge dynamic displacement However thebridge vertical and lateral accelerations increase with theaccumulation of the wheel hollow wear It is suggested thatthe influence of worn wheel-rail profiles should be con-sidered in the dynamic analysis of train-track-bridge in-teraction during the stage of bridge structure design andsafety assessment

bridge under different wheel worn profiles can be sum-marized as follows

(1) (e wheel hollow wear has little effect on the dy-namic displacement of the long-span bridge (ereason should be that the bridge main girder has alarge overall stiffness as it is made of high-strengthconcrete material thus the displacement of thebridge is mainly related to the axle load and dis-tribution characteristics of the train

(2) (e maximum bridge accelerations increase fast inlateral and vertical directions with the wheel weardepth increase It shows that both vertical and lateralbridge accelerations are greatly affected by thechange of wheel profile

5 Conclusions

(is paper reported a study of the high-speed train-track-bridge dynamic interactions considering the wheel-railcontact nonlinearity due to hollow worn wheel profiles Anonlinear rigid-flexible coupled model of a high-speed traintravelling on a long-span continuous girder bridge wasestablished (e accuracy of the model is validated bycomparing with the measured data (e vertical and lateraldynamic responses of the high-speed train-track-bridgesystem under new and worn wheel profiles were discussed

(e simulation results have shown that the wheel hollowwear of high-speed trains has a great influence on thegeometric parameters of the wheel-rail contact which canaggravate the wheel-rail interaction and finally deterioratesthe train-track-bridge interactions (e wheel wear has littleeffect on the bridge dynamic displacement However thebridge vertical and lateral accelerations increase with theaccumulation of the wheel hollow wear It is suggested thatthe influence of worn wheel-rail profiles should be con-sidered in the dynamic analysis of train-track-bridge in-teraction during the stage of bridge structure design andsafety assessment
