地铁转向架排障器的结构改进及疲劳性能评估 by 许喆, 智鹏鹏, 刘东亮

“…In view of the fracture and edge crack initiation of the bogie cowcatcher during the service of a metro train,the failure causes are analyzed,and a fatigue performance evaluation method combining finite element analysis and dynamic stress test is proposed to verify the rationality of improving the structural design of the cowcatcher.Firstly,the structure of the cowcatcher with fracture or edge crack is analyzed in the aspects of design,structure,manufacturing and raw materials,and the corresponding structural improvement scheme is proposed.Secondly,the static strength and fatigue strength of the structure for the new cowcatcher are analyzed to clarify the dangerous parts according to the EN13749 standard.Thirdly,determine the strain gauge layout plan and conduct line tests considering the simulation analysis results and the operating space comprehensively.Finally,the fatigue performance evaluation of the cowcatcher is carried out by miner’s linear cumulative damage rule and IIW recommended S-N curve.The results show that the fatigue performance of the new type of cowcatcher based on finite element analysis and dynamic stress test meet the requirements,and the two support each other to further verify the rationality of the new structure design.Simultaneously,the simulation analysis results provide a theoretical reference for the reasonable arrangement of measuring points.…”

RESEARCH ON STRESS SPECTRUM GROUPING METHOD OF HIGH SPEED EMU BOGIE by CHEN DaoYun, LIU DeKun, SUN ShouGuang, LI Qiang

“…The determination of structural dynamic stress spectrum is of great significance in the structural fatigue strength evaluation as well as reliability design.To evaluate structure of fatigue strength accurately,stress history on fatigue key parts of motor bogie framework was obtained through dynamic stress test of high-speed EMU on actual operation line.Fatigue damage values per kilometer of stress spectra with different grouping numbers were calculated using equidistant grouping method and Palmgren-Miner linear cumulative damage theory.Then,the effect of different group number on fatigue damage was analyzed.The results show that when the grouping number is small,it can lead to deviation of fatigue damage.As the grouping number increasing,damage decreasing,and tends to the theoretical value.This phenomenon can be interpreted by the EMU framework dynamic stress characteristic of small stress cycles high concentration.Meanwhile,an unequal distance grouping method was presented which is applicable to framework structure stress spectrum.The study can provide the basis for framework structure design.…”
