Abstract
With the continuous improvement of the bridge span, the phenomenon of vortex-induced vibration (VIV) in railway bridges can disrupt the normal functioning of railway systems. This paper establishes a method for wind-train-bridge-VIV, focusing on the dynamic responses of the bridge and the impact of the train during such events. Additionally, the study evaluates the effects of critical parameters like the amplitude of VIV, the train's operational velocity, and the initial phase angle of VIV on the dynamic reactions of the train and the bridge. The allowable values of VIV for the railway bridge are also investigated. The findings reveal that the three key factors substantially impact the dynamic reactions experienced by the railway bridge and the train. Notably, the VIV amplitude is a dominant factor in the vertical dynamic response, exerting a substantial impact on train ride comfort. Consequently, it is imperative to impose limitations on the VIV amplitude in railway bridges to maintain operational efficiency and passenger comfort.
期刊介绍:
The objective of the journal is to provide a means for the publication and interchange of information, on an international basis, on all those aspects of wind engineering that are included in the activities of the International Association for Wind Engineering http://www.iawe.org/. These are: social and economic impact of wind effects; wind characteristics and structure, local wind environments, wind loads and structural response, diffusion, pollutant dispersion and matter transport, wind effects on building heat loss and ventilation, wind effects on transport systems, aerodynamic aspects of wind energy generation, and codification of wind effects.
Papers on these subjects describing full-scale measurements, wind-tunnel simulation studies, computational or theoretical methods are published, as well as papers dealing with the development of techniques and apparatus for wind engineering experiments.
