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 multi-layered, heterogeneous longitudinal structures composed of ballasted track, roadbed, bridges, and tunnels. To ensure stable operation, each structural layer must meet functional and technical requirements and work in tandem. However, existing research often separates the superstructure, track structure, and substructure, ignoring the interactions between them. This separation hinders the systematic evaluation and study of the impact of local structural defects on the dynamic response of other structural layers, and fails to fully characterize the overall mechanical properties of the coupled train-track-roadbed system and the cyclic effects of a real train.

[0003] Currently, research on the dynamic response of the train-ballasted track-subgrade relationship is primarily conducted through field testing, full-scale model tests, and theoretical numerical calculations. Due to the limited number of inspection points and low efficiency, field testing makes it difficult to detect internal defects in the ballast subgrade, preventing rapid real-time detection and hindering intervention studies. Full-scale model tests differ significantly from actual field conditions and cannot accurately reproduce the effects of train cycling. Theoretical numerical calculations primarily focus on modeling and studying the coupled train-ballasted track-subgrade system. Most of these are based on the traditional finite element method (FEM) and consider the substructure. These methods often simplify the ballast subgrade as a discrete mass or continuous medium, ignoring the numerous internal voids and point contacts between ballasts at the mesoscopic level. This inadequately accounts for hidden defects and the microscopic mechanical behavior of the ballast subgrade, hindering research on the overall structural dynamic response. To address these challenges, the discrete element method (DEM) effectively simulates the microscopic morphology and mechanical properties of ballast particles within the subgrade, providing a better approach for studying the microscopic dynamic mechanical behavior of the ballast subgrade. However, current numerical simulation research on ballasted trackbeds 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 the finite element method to simulate the track and roadbed subsystems respectively, and use spring-damper elements to simulate the interaction between the various structural layers. Figure 1 (a)- Figure 1 (b) shows the numerical model of the three-dimensional coupled system of train, ballast track and 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) 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 superstructure, track structure, and substructure separately, ignoring the interactions between them and failing to fully characterize the overall mechanical properties of the train-track-subgrade coupled system. This separation approach is not conducive to systematically evaluating the impact of local structural defects on the dynamic responses of other structural layers.

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

[0008] Therefore, developing a numerical model that comprehensively analyzes real-time train operation and the microscopic mechanical behavior of ballasted trackbed particles, while also accounting for the interaction between the ballasted track and roadbed, is crucial for studying the spatial dynamic interactions and overall mechanical performance evolution of the coupled train-track-roadbed system. This numerical simulation method can reproduce actual field conditions, reducing the burden of field measurements and ultimately ensuring safe railway operation and long-term service life. Summary of the Invention

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- and micro-dynamic responses of the train-ballasted track-roadbed system. This model can make up for the shortcomings of the existing research on the analysis of the overall mechanical behavior of the coupled system, especially considering the micro-mechanical properties of the particles inside the roadbed and the comprehensive influence of the train dynamics on the track and roadbed. Through this method, the actual working conditions can be reproduced, and the burden of on-site measurements can be reduced, 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] This paper proposes a three-dimensional numerical simulation method based on MBD-DEM-FDM coupling, which significantly improves the accuracy of studying the dynamic behavior of the train-track-roadbed system. Compared with existing technologies, 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: This method, by coupling multi-body dynamics (MBD) with discrete element methods (DEM) and finite difference methods (FDM), accurately simulates the interactions between the train, track, roadbed, and subgrade. It simultaneously captures both the macroscopic dynamic response of the system and the microscopic mechanical behavior within the roadbed. This multi-scale coupled model comprehensively characterizes the dynamic characteristics of all levels of the system and reveals the load transfer paths and dynamic changes between different structural layers.

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

[0058] Deficiencies of existing technologies: In existing technologies, the ballast track bed is often treated as a continuous medium or discrete mass blocks through simplified methods, ignoring the complex contact, rolling and friction characteristics between ballast particles, and is unable to accurately simulate the microscopic mechanical behavior of the track bed.

[0059] Technical Advantages: This invention incorporates the discrete element method (DEM) to finely model the shape, size, and mechanical behavior of ballast particles. This method can simulate dynamic behaviors such as contact, sliding, wear, and crushing between particles, accurately reproducing the microscopic response of the roadbed under train loads. This approach effectively overcomes the shortcomings of traditional continuum models and can reveal the relationship between hidden defects within 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 behavior of trains, tracks, and roadbeds separately and manually input the results into other models, resulting in low computational efficiency and the inability to achieve real-time coupled dynamic simulation.

[0062] Technical Advantages: This method achieves real-time coupling of MBD, DEM, and FDM methods through a Python programming interface, enabling simultaneous calculation of the dynamic responses of different subsystems. This avoids the inaccuracy and inefficiency associated with manual input of results in traditional methods. This real-time calculation method not only improves 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 the train, track, roadbed, and subgrade systems, making it difficult to predict the global dynamic behavior of the train under different operating conditions.

[0065] Technical Advantages: This invention analyzes the mechanical effects of train loads on track, roadbed, and subgrade at a macroscopic level, while simultaneously simulating the local behavior of ballast particles at a microscopic level. This multi-layered, integrated analysis provides a more comprehensive and accurate system dynamic response, offering significant advantages in predicting track settlement, ballast wear, and subgrade deformation.

[0066] 5. Efficient hidden disease simulation

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

[0068] Technical Advantages: This invention uses the discrete element method to accurately simulate the impact of hidden roadbed defects on the overall mechanical response of the system. Combined with dynamic simulations of train loads, it can analyze in real time the dynamic effects of ballast degradation, 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 existing technologies by innovatively introducing MBD-DEM-FDM coupling technology. It can more accurately and efficiently simulate the complex mechanical behavior of the train-track-roadbed system, significantly improving the ability to predict the system's dynamic response. In particular, it demonstrates unique technical advantages in the analysis of the microscopic behavior and defects of the roadbed under train loads. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0089] Example 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 the train system based on the multi-body dynamics (MBD) method, wherein the train suspension system is simplified by using springs and dampers in the dynamic model of the train system, and interaction between the train and the track is considered;

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

[0093] S11, based on MBD theory, establish rigid bodies such as the car body, bogie, and wheelset, where the car body and the two bogies are connected through the primary and secondary suspension systems, and the springs and dampers of the suspension system are simplified to linear models, 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 wheelset 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 connections between the vehicle body and the bogie, and between the bogie and the wheelset are simulated by linear springs and dampers.

[0098] In the modeling of the suspension system, the connections between the car body and the bogie, as well as between the bogie and the wheelset, are simulated using linear springs and dampers. This multi-degree-of-freedom model not only fully describes the relative motion of various components during train operation, but also considers the dynamic response characteristics of the train under different track conditions, thereby enabling subsequent track-vehicle coupled 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, by constructing 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. The vibration dynamics equations are:

[0100]

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

[0102] In this embodiment, the train has many degrees of freedom, resulting in a very complex vibration equation. Traditional force balance analysis methods are difficult and complex to directly derive its motion equations. However, analyzing its motion patterns from an energy perspective is more convenient and effective. Therefore, based on the Hamiltonian principle, starting from the system's total kinetic energy, total potential energy, and virtual work, and constructing a generalized coordinate system, the system's mass matrix, stiffness matrix, damping matrix, and load matrix are derived, ultimately forming the vibration equations for the train subsystem.

[0103] S14, establishing a three-dimensional train-track model, including: calculating the normal force between the wheel and rail based on Hertz nonlinear contact theory; simulating the wheel-rail tangential contact force based on Kalker creep theory; establishing a wheel-rail contact coupling model based on the normal force between the wheel and rail and the tangential contact force between the wheel and rail, wherein the wheel-rail contact coupling model can accurately calculate the dynamic changes of the wheel-rail contact during the train operation; continuing to comprehensively consider four different types of track irregularities, wherein the four types of track irregularities include height irregularity, directional irregularity, horizontal irregularity and gauge irregularity, including: different types of track irregularities obtained by simulation and analysis using the trigonometric series method are input into the wheel-rail contact coupling model as external excitations to obtain a first comprehensive sample of height irregularity and horizontal irregularity, and a second comprehensive sample of gauge irregularity and directional irregularity; establishing the three-dimensional train-track model based on the first comprehensive sample and the second comprehensive sample.

[0104] The power spectrum density calculation formulas for the four types of track irregularities are as follows:

[0105] (1) Uneven height:

[0106]

[0107] (2) Unsmooth direction:

[0108]

[0109] (3) Uneven level:

[0110]

[0132] (1) A wall unit is established on the roadbed surface in the FDM calculation area, and the data information of velocity and force in the coupling process is transmitted through the wall unit to realize the interactive iterative coupling process of force and velocity between the DEM calculation area and the FDM calculation area.

[0133] The coupling process occurs at the contact interface between each sleeper and ballast, as well as at the contact interface between the roadbed and ballast, e.g. Figure 7 (a) The coupling mechanism is to connect the vertices of the coupling wall 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 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 element in FLAC cannot directly withstand bending moments, the concentrated force is 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. c and M c The specific process of Figure 7 (b) shown.

[0140] S43, by setting an artificial viscoelastic boundary in the discrete element numerical model, an equivalent simulation between the ballast mass and the discrete ballast particles is achieved, thereby realizing real-time information exchange between the MBD and DEM and FDM systems.

[0141] In this embodiment, the implementation of step S4 includes: first transmitting the train load to the trackbed-roadbed system through the spring damping system, and then transmitting the reaction force calculated in the trackbed-roadbed system and the dynamic response of each structural layer to the upper train model in real time, thereby realizing 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 during driving. 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, trackbed, and roadbed is accurately captured. The specific flow chart is shown as follows: Figure 9 shown.

[0142] like Figure 9 As shown, the specific implementation process of this embodiment includes:

[0143] (1) The data interaction interface between the MBD part and the DEM-FDM part is established through Python program, and the motion response of the train is transmitted to the track bed and roadbed, and the corresponding calculation and judgment are performed. If the set threshold is met, the dynamic analysis of the next time step is performed. The specific judgment formula and process are as follows: Figure 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 using a spring-damper system. The equivalent force on 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):

[0145]

[0146]

[0148] (2) Establish the data interaction interface between the DEM part and the MBD part of the trackbed structure layer through the PFC program:

[0149] A. First, the particle aggregate is equivalent to a three-dimensional block unit body, and the equivalent axial stress inside the particle aggregate is calculated using formula (8):

[0151] Where: σ a is the equivalent axial stress inside the particle aggregate unit; F ai is the resultant axial contact force acting on the unit boundary; Di is the diameter of the boundary unit particle; F is the axial contact pressure on a single particle unit; D is the diameter of a single particle unit.

[0152] B. Next, establish boundary conditions, including: A viscoelastic artificial boundary is achieved by arranging distributed springs and dampers on the truncated boundary. The springs are used to simulate the elastic recovery of the infinite domain, while the dampers are responsible for absorbing energy. The spring and damper forces are applied in the normal and tangential directions, respectively, to effectively simulate energy propagation and absorption under dynamic conditions in the three-dimensional model. The calculated stress equation is Equation (9):

[0153]

[0154] Where: σ n and σ s are the normal and tangential stresses respectively; C n and C s are the damping coefficients in the normal and tangential directions respectively; K n and K s are the spring stiffness in the normal and tangential directions, respectively; and are the normal and tangential velocities respectively; u n and u s are the normal and tangential displacements, respectively.

[0155] C. Discretization, including: In order to apply the viscoelastic boundary to the discrete element model, the formula needs to be discretized.

[0156]

[0157] D. Based on the above process, the forces acting on the spring-damper system between the ballast masses in the MBD system can be equated to the forces acting on the granular ballast particles in the DEM system. These forces are updated in real time and transmitted to the DEM system. Simultaneously, the DEM system updates the dynamic responses, such as particle displacement, velocity, and acceleration, in real time.
