Computer simulation of train-track-bridge interaction

The aim of the paper is to present the approach for simulation of dynamics of the systems consisting of railway vehicle, flexible track and flexible foundation.

Railway vehicles are considered as multibody systems that include rigid or flexible bodies, joints and force elements. The track model is considered as a periodic 3D structure consisting of rails, pads and sleepers on a flexible foundation. Two rails modelled as Timoshenko beams are discretely supported on the sleepers through the railpads and fasteners, that are modelled as nonlinear force elements. The foundation (bridge, tunnel, overpass) is considered as a flexible multibody system simulated using finite element method.

Vertical response of the track model is verified through comparison with experimental data. Test case of simulation of suburban 6-car train on a flexible railway track and three sections of U-like flexible railway bridge of 30 m each is shown. Comparison of the simulation results with experimental data is given.

Program package "Universal Mechanism" is intended for simulation of kinematics and dynamics of planar and spatial mechanical systems.

Click to view enlarged imageThe program is oriented to practical engineers, students and teachers, in other words it is oriented to all people who are involved in problems of dynamics of machines and mechanisms. Mechanical systems are described by means of representing them as systems of rigid bodies connected by various kinematical pairs and force elements, so-called multibody systems.

Click to view enlarged imageOnline animation of motion and plots of dynamical performances are available during simulation. There are lots of measurable dynamical performances of mechanical systems: linear and angular coordinates, velocities and accelerations, active forces and moments, reaction forces, etc.

UM has an advanced postprocessor, which includes: linear analysis, statistics, multivariant calculation, wear and durability analysis and export of results. UM is a useful tool for the computer-aided modeling of multibody and hybrid systems of various types: complex aerospace structures, robots, railway vehicles, automobiles, cable systems, etc. It gives an opportunity to solve both the direct and inverse kinematic, dynamic, and control problems. There are special prices of UM for scientific and educational purposes.
