description Abstract To investigate the dynamic characteristics and safe operation speed threshold of metro train passing through curved bridge (CB) considering resilient wheels, the mechanical connection characteristics of rim and web are discussed firstly. Based on the train–track–bridge interaction theory, the coupled dynamic model of metro train-CB considering resilient wheels is established. Then, the vehicle–bridge coupled dynamic characteristics under the excitation of long-short wave track irregularity are researched. Finally, from the perspective of dynamics, the safe operating speed threshold of metro trains passing through curved bridge considering resilient wheels (RW) is discussed. Results show that the vertical wheel–rail force of RW is reduced, but the lateral wheel–rail force is amplified compared with the solid wheels (SW). The vertical vibration acceleration of the wheel is reduced, but the lateral vibration acceleration is increased. It is recommended that the speed of metro trains running on curved bridge is not more than 60 km/h. The vehicle–bridge coupling dynamic response is aggravated with the speed and load of metro train. The vibration of the inner side of the curved bridge is greater than that of the outer side, and the vibration reduction effect of the RW on the inner side is more significant than that on the outer side. The RW has a vibration absorption effect on the wheel–rail vertical and the vibration of the curved bridge force within 40–140 Hz.
