Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of train-ballasted track-roadbed system simulation methods, and in particular to a train-ballasted track-roadbed system simulation method and system based on MBD-DEM-FDM coupling. Background Art

[0002] Railway lines are composed of ballasted tracks, roadbeds, bridges and tunnels, and are multi-layered, heterogeneous longitudinal structures. In order to ensure the stable operation of railway lines, each structural layer needs to meet functional and technical requirements and work together. However, existing studies often separate the upper train, track structure and lower structure, ignoring the mutual influence between them. This separation method is not conducive to systematic evaluation and research on the impact of local structural defects on the dynamic response changes of other structural layers, and cannot fully characterize the overall mechanical properties of the train-track-roadbed coupling system and the cyclic effects of real trains.

[0003] At present, the research on the dynamic response of train-ballasted track-roadbed is mainly carried out through field tests, full-scale model tests and theoretical numerical calculations. Due to the small number of detection points and low efficiency, field tests are difficult to obtain the internal defects of the ballasted track bed, and real-time rapid detection cannot be carried out, and it is difficult to conduct human intervention research. There is a certain gap between the full-scale model test and the actual situation on site, and it is impossible to truly restore the train circulation effect. Theoretical numerical calculations are mainly focused on the establishment and research of the train-ballasted track-roadbed coupling system model. Most of them are based on the traditional finite element method to consider the lower structure. Usually, the ballasted track bed is simplified as a discrete mass block or continuous medium, ignoring the characteristics of the ballasted track bed with many gaps inside and the point contact between the ballasts at the mesoscopic level. It is impossible to fully consider the hidden defects and mesoscopic mechanical behavior of the ballasted track bed, which has a certain impact on the research of the dynamic response of the overall structure. To solve the above problems, the discrete element method can well simulate the mesoscopic morphology and mechanical properties of the ballast particles inside the track bed, providing a better way to study the mesoscopic dynamic mechanical behavior of the ballasted track bed. However, current numerical simulation research on ballasted trackbed is still limited to the structural layer of the trackbed itself, ignoring the actual effect of the upper train.

[0004] In addition, the existing technical solutions mostly use multi-body dynamics methods to simulate the train vehicle subsystem, use finite element method to simulate the track and roadbed subsystems respectively, and use spring-damper elements to simulate the interaction between the structural layers. Figure 1 (a)- Figure 1 (b) shows the numerical model of the three-dimensional coupled system of train-ballasted track-roadbed. Based on the multi-body dynamics theory, a multi-rigid body model of the train vehicle is established. The schematic diagram of the three-dimensional multi-body dynamics model of the train vehicle is shown in Figure 2 (a)- Figure 2 (c) as shown.

[0005] The defects in the existing research on train-track-roadbed coupling system are mainly manifested in the following aspects:

[0006] (1) Existing studies often analyze the upper train, track structure, and lower structure separately, ignoring the interaction between them and failing to fully characterize the overall mechanical properties of the train-track-subgrade coupling system. This separation approach is not conducive to systematically evaluating the impact of local structural defects on the dynamic response of other structural layers.

[0007] (2) Due to the small number of test points and low efficiency, it is difficult to obtain the defects inside the ballasted trackbed during field testing, and it is impossible to detect and intervene in real time; full-scale model tests are difficult to truly restore the circulation of trains and cannot effectively represent the actual working conditions; traditional theoretical numerical calculation methods simplify the simulation of ballasted trackbeds, ignoring the internal void structure of the ballasted trackbed and the microscopic mechanical behavior of ballast particles, resulting in inaccurate research results on the overall dynamic response.

[0008] Therefore, it is of great significance to establish a numerical calculation model that can comprehensively analyze the real-time train operation and the microscopic mechanical behavior of ballasted track particles, and consider the interaction between ballasted track and roadbed, in order to study the spatial dynamic interaction and overall mechanical performance evolution of the train-track-roadbed coupling system. This numerical simulation method can reproduce the actual working conditions on site, reduce the burden of on-site measurements, and thus ensure the safe operation and long-term service of the railway. Summary of the invention

[0009] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a train-ballasted track-roadbed system simulation method and system based on MBD-DEM-FDM coupling, which is used to simulate the mechanical response of the train-track-roadbed system under complex dynamic conditions. A three-dimensional numerical calculation model based on the coupling of Multi-Body Dynamics (MBD)-Discrete Element Method (DEM)-Finite-difference methods (FDM) is intended to conduct a comprehensive study on the macro-micro dynamic response of the train-ballasted track-roadbed system. This model can make up for the shortcomings of the existing research on the overall mechanical behavior analysis of the coupling system, especially considering the micro-mechanical properties of the particles inside the ballast bed and the comprehensive influence of the train dynamics on the track and the roadbed. Through this method, the reproduction of the actual working conditions can be achieved, reducing the burden of on-site measurements, thereby providing a theoretical basis and technical support for the safe operation of high-speed and heavy-load railways.

[0052] Beneficial effects of the method and system of the present invention:

[0053] The present invention proposes a three-dimensional numerical simulation method based on MBD-DEM-FDM coupling, which significantly improves the research accuracy of the dynamic behavior of the train-track-roadbed system. Compared with the existing technology, it has the following technical advantages:

[0054] 1. Accurate multi-scale coupling analysis

[0055] Deficiencies of existing technology: Traditional studies on train-track-roadbed systems mostly analyze the train, track, roadbed and roadbed separately, ignoring the interactions between them, making it difficult to accurately predict the overall mechanical behavior of the system.

[0056] Technical advantages: The present invention accurately simulates the interaction between trains, tracks, ballasts and roadbeds by coupling multi-body dynamics MBD with discrete element method DEM and finite difference method FDM, and can simultaneously capture the macroscopic dynamic response of the system and the microscopic mechanical behavior inside the ballast. This multi-scale coupling model can fully characterize the dynamic characteristics of each level of the system and reveal the transfer path and dynamic changes of loads between different structural layers.

[0057] 2. Micro-dynamic simulation of ballast particles

[0058] Deficiencies of the existing technology: In the existing technology, the ballasted track bed is often regarded as a continuous medium or a discrete mass block through a simplified method, ignoring the complex contact, rolling and friction characteristics between the ballast particles, and it is impossible to accurately simulate the microscopic mechanical behavior of the track bed.

[0059] Technical advantages: The present invention introduces the discrete element method (DEM) to finely model the shape, size and mechanical behavior of ballast particles, and can simulate the dynamic behaviors such as contact, sliding, wear and crushing between particles, so as to accurately reproduce the microscopic response of the roadbed under the action of train loads. This method effectively makes up for the shortcomings of the traditional continuum model and can reveal the relationship between the hidden defects inside the roadbed and the overall dynamic response of the system.

[0060] 3. Real-time coupling calculation interface

[0061] Deficiencies of existing technologies: Existing studies usually simulate the dynamic behaviors of trains, tracks, and roadbeds separately and manually input the results into other models, resulting in low computational efficiency and inability to achieve real-time coupled dynamic simulation.

[0062] Technical advantages: The present invention realizes the real-time coupling of MBD, DEM and FDM through the Python program interface, and can synchronously calculate the dynamic responses of different subsystems, avoiding the inaccuracy and inefficiency caused by manual input of results in traditional methods. This real-time calculation method not only improves the simulation efficiency, but also ensures the timeliness and accuracy of the system's dynamic response.

[0063] 4. More comprehensive system dynamic response

[0064] Deficiencies of existing technologies: Existing numerical simulation methods cannot simultaneously consider the macro- and micro-scale responses of trains, tracks, ballasts, and roadbed systems, making it difficult to predict the global dynamic behavior of trains under different operating conditions.

[0065] Technical advantages: The present invention can analyze the mechanical impact of train loads on tracks, roadbeds and roadbeds at the macro level, while simulating the local behavior of ballast particles at the micro level. Through this multi-level comprehensive analysis, it can provide a more comprehensive and accurate system dynamic response, especially in predicting track settlement, ballast wear and roadbed deformation. It has significant technical advantages.

[0066] 5. Efficient hidden disease simulation

[0067] Deficiencies of existing technologies: Traditional methods for detecting hidden roadbed defects mostly rely on on-site measurements, which makes it difficult to conduct real-time dynamic analysis and lacks microscopic mechanical analysis of hidden defects.

[0068] Technical advantages: The present invention can accurately reproduce the impact of hidden roadbed defects on the overall mechanical response of the system in numerical simulation through the discrete element method. Combined with the dynamic simulation of train loads, it can analyze in real time the dynamic impact of ballast deterioration, crushing and other defects on the train-track-roadbed system, providing a more accurate defect diagnosis tool.

[0069] In summary, the present invention overcomes the limitations of the existing technology by innovatively introducing the MBD-DEM-FDM coupling technology, and can simulate the complex mechanical behavior of the train-track-roadbed system more accurately and efficiently, significantly improving the prediction ability of the system's dynamic response, especially in the microscopic behavior and disease analysis of the roadbed under train loads. It shows unique technical advantages. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0089] Embodiment 1

[0090] See also Figure 3 This embodiment provides a train-ballasted track-roadbed system simulation method based on MBD-DEM-FDM coupling, including:

[0091] S1, establishing a train model based on a multi-body dynamics MBD method, including: establishing a dynamic model of a train system based on the multi-body dynamics MBD method, wherein the suspension system of the train is simplified by springs and dampers, and the interaction between the train and the track is considered in the dynamic model of the train system;

[0092] As a preferred embodiment, the S1 includes:

[0093] S11, based on MBD theory, a rigid body such as a car body, a bogie, and a wheelset is established, wherein the car body is connected to the two bogies through a primary suspension system and a secondary suspension system, and the spring and damper of the suspension system are simplified into a linear model, such as Figure 4 Each vehicle model has 30 degrees of freedom, of which each car body and bogie has 6 degrees of freedom, which are longitudinal displacement x c , lateral displacement y c , sinking and floating (vertical displacement) z c , roll angle θ c , pitch angle φ c and yaw angle φ c Each of the wheelsets has four degrees of freedom, namely longitudinal displacement x wi , lateral displacement y wiand vertical displacement (sinking and floating) z wi .

[0094] In this embodiment, the specific degrees of freedom are shown in Table 1, which shows the degree of freedom distribution of the train vehicle model.

[0095] Table 1

[0096]

[0097] S12, in the modeling of the suspension system, the connection between the vehicle body and the bogie, and the connection between the bogie and the wheelset are simulated by linear springs and dampers.

[0098] In the modeling of the suspension system, the connection between the car body and the bogie, and between the bogie and the wheelset are simulated by linear springs and dampers. This multi-degree-of-freedom model can not only fully describe the relative motion of various components during the operation of the train, but also consider the dynamic response characteristics of the train under different track conditions, thereby realizing the subsequent track-vehicle coupling dynamics analysis. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the parameters and structure of a three-dimensional train model.

[0099] S13, based on the Hamiltonian principle, starting from the total kinetic energy, total potential energy and virtual work of the system, through the construction of a generalized coordinate system, the mass matrix, stiffness matrix, damping matrix and load matrix of the system are obtained, and finally the vibration dynamics equations of the train system are formed, which are:

[0100]

[0101] Where: M v , C v and K v are the mass matrix, damping matrix and stiffness matrix of the train vehicle, respectively, and F v is the load vector, X v is the displacement matrix.

[0102] In this embodiment, the train has many degrees of freedom, which makes its vibration equation very complicated. It is difficult to directly derive its motion equation by the traditional force balance analysis method. However, it is easier and more effective to analyze its motion law from the perspective of energy. Therefore, based on the Hamiltonian principle, starting from the total kinetic energy, total potential energy and virtual work of the system, through the construction of a generalized coordinate system, the mass matrix, stiffness matrix, damping matrix and load matrix of the system are obtained, and finally the vibration equation group of the train subsystem is formed.

[0133] The coupling process occurs at the contact interface between each sleeper and ballast, and at the contact interface between the roadbed and ballast, such as Figure 7 (a) The coupling mechanism is that the vertices of the coupling wall are connected by the mesh nodes at the coupling interface in the FDM calculation area, and the two move synchronously with each other. The coupled triangular wall surface will generate the contact force (F) generated by the particle motion in the PFC calculation area. c ) and contact torque (M c). However, since the Zone unit in FLAC cannot directly withstand bending moments, the concentrated forces are interpreted and transferred during the coupling calculation process, each grid vertex is equivalently weighted, and the equivalent weighted vertex force is transferred to the FDM grid. At the same time, according to Newton's second law, any displacement caused by the force at the grid point will also drive the movement of the coupled wall, which further leads to corresponding changes in the position of the particles in the DEM area. These changes in the relative position between the particles and the coupling interface lead to new FDM grids. c and M c The specific process is as follows Figure 7 (b) as shown.

[0141] In this embodiment, the implementation of step S4 includes: firstly transmitting the train load to the ballast-roadbed system through the spring damping system, and then transmitting the reaction force calculated in the ballast-roadbed system and the dynamic response of each structural layer to the upper train model in real time, so as to realize the real-time dynamic coupling calculation of the entire coupling system, wherein the real-time dynamic coupling calculation is used to simulate the dynamic response of the train when it is running. During the real-time dynamic coupling calculation process, the MBD and DEM and FDM systems will exchange information in real time to ensure that the interaction between the train and the track, ballast and roadbed is accurately captured. The specific flow chart is as follows: Fig. 9 shown.

If the set threshold is met, the dynamic analysis of the next time step is performed. The specific judgment formula and process are shown in formula (6), formula (7) and Fig.10 As shown:

[0144] In order to accurately simulate the mechanical behavior of the fastener in the MBD and DEM systems, the fastener is equivalently modeled through a spring damping system. The equivalent force at the fastener at each time step is calculated in real time. The calculation formulas for the sleeper force in each three-dimensional direction are shown in equations (6) and (7):
