Abstract

A model for predicting wheel-rail vibration noise in the frequency domain is derived based on vehicle-track coupled dynamic theory and acoustic theory, which accounts for the characteristics of frequency-dependent stiffness of rail fastener. In the model, a wheel dynamic model is established considering the wheel elasticity through the inclusion of wheel mode shape vectors obtained by FE analysis of the wheel; the rail is modeled as a Timoshenko beam which is discretely supported on the rail fasteners with frequency-dependent stiffness; the wheel-rail coupled dynamic model for frequency-domain analysis is formed through the equivalent linear wheel-rail contact. The vibration response spectrums and acoustic radiation power spectrums of the wheel and rail are calculated by taking the rail roughness filtered in contact region as excitation input, and the influence of the frequency-dependent stiffness of rail fasteners on the wheel-rail vibration and rolling noise. Results show that the frequency-dependent behavior of the rail fastener stiffness has significant effects on the rail receptance, wheel-rail force spectrum, and the total acoustic power of the rail, whereas it has little influence on the total acoustic power of the wheel; compared to the results obtained by the ordinary model with a constant stiffness of rail pad; the decay rate of rail vibration along the track is larger, the acoustic power of rail is smaller at the frequencies of 100~1250Hz, and the total acoustic power of the wheel and rail decrease about 2.4 dBA; comparison of wheel-rail noise radiation pressure with experimental test indicates that the proposed prediction model can be deemed preferable to the ordinary model which overestimates wheel-rail noise.
