Evolution of the Polygonal Wear of High-speed Train Wheels

doi:10.3901/JME.2020.22.184

Abstract

Abstract: The wheel polygons will not only seriously affect the running performance of high-speed trains, but also continue to evolve with the wear of the wheels, so its evolutionary behavior deserves attention. The wheel polygonal wear evolution behaviour and the effects of phase difference on polygonal wear are researched by simulation method. The simulation results show that the initial 3rd order polygon will evolve to mixed orders, and the integer multiple of 3 orders still in the main position. In the polygonal wear evolution, there is a turning mileage which the wave depth suddenly and sharply increased, so the wheel polygonal must be treating before the turning mileage. The results also show that the wheel polygonal wear evolution will cause an increase in vertical acceleration of wheelset and frame, and also increase the risk of the wheel jumping the rail. Compared with no phase difference, the maximum wave depth of the polygonal wheel rapidly increases when the phase difference exist, and the wear rate reach the peak when the phase difference is 1/2 cycle. The research provides a certain theoretical basis for the control methods and repair strategies of wheel polygons.

Key words: high-speed trains, wheel polygonalization, wear, dynamic performance, phase difference
