Identification of the technical state of suspension elements in railway systems

Vehicle System Dynamics, 2012

The running safety and passenger comfort levels in a vehicle are tightly related to the technical state of the suspension elements. The technical state of the suspension depends of the service life time as its components become old and wear out. In this paper, a study on the dynamic behaviour of a railway vehicle is established in relation to the damping elements in one of its suspension stages. An experimental measurement model is developed, obtaining a set of useful signals for the identification of the dynamic parameters of the vehicle and developing a test through the application of the operational modal analysis technique, using least-squares complex exponential method as a basis to validate the numerical model of the multi-body system. Then, the study focuses on developing numerical simulations for the identification of the technical state of the dampers by the registration of dynamic variables under commercial service conditions and on estimating the state of the suspension elements.

Study of the railway vehicle suspension using the multibody method

INCAS BULLETIN, 2009

The article presents a mathematical model for the study of a passenger coach hunting motion using the multibody approach. The model comprises the lateral displacement, rolling and yawing motions for the main constitutive elements: axles, bogies and case. The equation system is written applying energetic methods. The forced vibrations determined by the irregular profile of the tracks are considered. The wheel -rail contact forces are expressed using the creepage coefficients established according to Kalker's linear theory. The equations system is solved through numeric methods using specialized calculus programs. The response of the system -passenger coach on a tangent track, the critical speed and the influence of the constructive characteristics of the coach on its performances are determined.

ICSV 14 Cairns • Australia 9-12 July , 2007 DEVELOPMENT OF AN IN-SERVICE DYNAMIC MODEL OF A DOUBLE DECK PASSENGER TRAIN

2007

This paper presents the findings of an investigation into the structural properties of a double deck passenger railcar. The objective of the investigation was to develop an in-service dynamic model about an operational point where the car was travelling at 80km/h over track used in everyday service. A detailed grid of response measurements, providing a spatial definition of the car, were recorded consisting of nearly three hundred accelerometer records in three axes distributed over the structure in more than forty measurement batches while the car was running down the track. Using these measurements, an in-service modal model was constructed by operational modal analysis using the enhanced frequency domain decomposition technique. Of particular interest to this investigation were the primary vertical and lateral bending modes which were found to be coincident, with the lateral mode dominating. The application of whole body vibration weightings however, produced an equivalence of th...

Multibody Dynamics Models of Railway Vehicle Using Adams/Rail

This research is focusing on multibody dynamics modeling data and parameter comparison. The comfort and stability of railway vehicle suspension can be measured by using Ride Index Machine and other sensors. Complete model of EMU82 from KTMB is adapted to multibody software, ADAMS/Rail. With ADAMS/Rail, the behavior and characteristic of each suspension element can be determined. The accuracy of the simulation model is verified by comparing the result of body roll angle in Adams/Rail and the actual test. As for the experiment, certain test track will be chosen and simulated in ADAMS/Rail. The selection of track is based on the design and curvature characteristic. In experiment, data of roll angle and lateral acceleration are necessary. For that purpose selected sensors such as tri-axis accelerometer and gyro will be used. The running performance of the KTMB EMU82 suspension will be gathered from the simulation.

Dynamic Analysis and Experimental Investigation for Vibration Response of Suspension System of Indian Railway Vehicle

A vibration analysis of suspension of rail vehicle has to be performed which reflects both the varying load and response. A rail vehicle experiences lateral and vertical effect in very high response due to track imperfection, tractive effort, breaking effort, curving and tracking. The differential equation for vibration analysis gives the time dependent response in the superstructure by including damping forces and inertial forces in the equation and each node is subjected to a sinusoidal function of the peak amplitude for that node. This paper represents the vibration response of rail vehicle having primary and secondary suspension with vertical, lateral and longitudinal damping. At first, the complex structure of dynamics of rail vehicle is to simplify in two mass damper suspension models to solve complex differential equation to find its natural frequency and amplitude. The aim is to check dynamic sinusoidal variations for the failure response of primary suspension spring by finding the natural frequency of model and excitation frequency of rail. The vibration response of two mass suspension systems with base excitation is obtained analytically using differential equation which gives peak amplitude by steady state solution. The mathematical model for increasing complexity i.e. for lateral and roll dynamics has also been developed and vibration analyzer is used to find dynamic behavior of rail vehicle in running condition at an average speed of 80-100 km/hr for number of instances during smooth track, curving and tracking.

Analysis of primary and secondary lateral suspension system of railway vehicle

Journal of Mechanical Engineering, 2014

The aim of this paper is to study the effect of primary and secondary suspensions of a railway vehicle on stability and passenger ride comfort. The possible improvement of conventional suspension without using a controllable suspension system is investigated. A linear 17 degree-of-freedom (DOF) railway vehicle model is used to study the vibration response of the railway vehicle body. The equations of motion that represent the dynamics of the railway vehicle were derived based on Newton laws to describe the lateral, yaw and roll motions of the vehicle body, bogies and also wheel-sets. The spring stiffnesses and damping coefficients of the primary and secondary suspensions were varied incrementally in order to observe the response of the railway vehicle body. The vehicle model was simulated with lateral sinusoidal track disturbance using Matlab-SIMULINK software. The simulation results showed that the railway vehicle stability is significantly affected by the values of primary suspens...

An Investigation of the Influence of the Suspension Construction Parameters on the Performances of the Railway Vehicles

Proceedings of the Romanian Academy - Series A: Mathematics, Physics, Technical Sciences, Information Science

The paper aims to present a study of the construction parameter influence of a railway vehicle suspension on its performances: safety and comfort. To simulate the lateral dynamics of the vehicle is used a multibody model with 17 degrees of freedom. This model considers the lateral, yawing and rolling oscillations, the geometrical nonlinearities of the wheel-track contact and assesses the nonlinear stability of the vehicle running on tangent tracks with irregularities. To reduce the lateral accelerations generated by the track irregularities, the authors introduced in the secondary suspension of the vehicle a device with sequential damping based on balance-logic control strategy and shown that the use of a semi-active suspension improves the safety and the comfort of the railway vehicle. The system response in terms of accelerations is compared for both passive and semi-active cases.

Influence of Suspension Parameters Changes of a Railway Vehicle on Output Quantities

LOGI – Scientific Journal on Transport and Logistics

This article deals with computer analyses of output quantities of a railway vehicle depending on changing of parameters of suspension system. A passenger car was chosen for dynamic analyses. An analysed passenger railway vehicle uses two stage suspension system composed of coil springs and hydraulic dampers. Stiffness of coil springs of primary and secondary suspensions were defined for two states and its influence on output values in terms of quality and quantity was evaluated. As output variables, values of forces in a wheel/rail contact and accelerations in several locations on a wagon body floor were chosen. Values of forces in a wheel/rail contact indicate dynamic response of a railway vehicle running in terms of running safety and values of accelerations serve as important input for evaluation of passenger ride comfort.
