Abstract: The computational cost for solving vibration response power spectrum density(PSD) under random excitation is high and fatigue life of bogie frame weld predicted by the nominal stress method is discrete, in the stage of bogie design. To solve issues, a simplified finite element model of metro vehicle is established, and a large mass number is put into wheel-rail contact points of the model. Then the absolute displacement PSD of bogie is directly solved through exerting the displacement excitation of track irregularity on the big mass point in the form of force excitation, based on pseudo excitation method and big mass method. The random vibration fatigue life of bogie frame is predicted based on nominal stress method and the master S-N curve method in frequency domain respectively. The calculation process shows that vibration response PSD of bogie could be quickly and accurately solved by pseudo excitation method. The results show that fatigue life of the frame is greatly influenced by modes of bounce, transverse, and torsion. Meanwhile, the master S-N curve method in frequency domain not only can predict fatigue life of frame weld more accurately and consistently, but also effectively identify stress concentration of welds.

Key words: pseudo excitation method, bogie frame, random vibration fatigue, master S-N curve method in frequency domain
