Abstract

Abstract

Based on the nonlinear finite element software LS-DYNA and smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method, a computational model of high-speed railway axles subjected to ballast impact was built. Influences of impact velocity, ballast shape and size, and impact angle on the dynamic response of axles were examined. The response characteristics of the impact force and the deformation at the impact point were given, and the relationship between the peak impact force and the maximum residual deformation of the axle was also analyzed. Finally, the impact damage regularity of the axle under different conditions was also explored. Numerical results show that both the peak impact force and the deformation of the axle, including both transient and residual deformation, increase with the increase of initial impact velocity, ballast size and impact angle, respectively, and an approximately linear increase between the maximum residual deformation and peak impact force is found. Besides, the normalized indentation depth (residual deformation) of axles increases linearly with the square root of impact energy.
