A method for reconstructing continuous wheel-rail forces based on discrete fastener reaction forces

This invention provides a method for reconstructing continuous wheel-rail forces based on discrete fastener reaction forces, comprising the following steps: Step 1, establishing a wheel load distribution model; Step 2, establishing an algorithmic framework for the inversion method, by introducing a responsibility region and a local deconvolution strategy, mapping the discrete fastener reaction force FRF to the continuous wheel-rail force WRF. This invention effectively solves the problems of traditional onboard sensors' difficulty in long-term fixed-point monitoring of specific road sections, and the inability of existing ground discrete monitoring points to fully characterize the continuous wheel-rail interaction behavior. By constructing an inversion framework based on Gaussian load distribution using a "responsibility region + local deconvolution" approach, it fully utilizes the load transfer characteristics of the vehicle-track coupling system, achieving high-precision reconstruction of continuous wheel-rail forces using ground discrete fastener reaction force data. This eliminates the need for complex global iterative optimization and can accurately restore the dynamic characteristics of wheel-rail contact even with only a limited number of discrete measurement points.
