Abstract
Abstract In this paper, effect of uncertainty of fastening system properties on the wheel/rail dynamic force (WRDF) was investigated. For this purpose, two deterministic and epistemic models of vehicle/track interaction were developed, using the finite element method. Validity of the results obtained from the models was shown through comparison between the model results and those obtained from field tests. The effects of uncertainty of fastening system properties on the WRDF in different axle loads, vehicle speeds, rail irregularities and various track maintenance conditions were derived through probability and sensitivity analyses. Using the results obtained, some contours were developed to obtain the amplification of WRDF (due the uncertainty of fastening system properties) as a function of vehicle axle load, vehicle speed and track maintenance conditions.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
