Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of high-speed railway ballastless track, and in particular to a method and system for detecting hidden defects on the surface of a ballastless track subgrade. Background Art

[0002] As an important component of high-speed railways, the structural integrity and stability of ballastless track are directly related to the safe operation of trains. The roadbed under the track structure, as the key area for transferring train loads from the track to the roadbed, is constructed of graded crushed stone. However, there are significant differences in continuity and stiffness between graded crushed stone and ballastless track, which leads to various disasters under the influence of long-term train loads and environmental factors. These hidden defects not only affect the geometric dimensions and stability of the track, but may also cause serious safety accidents. Existing methods and technologies for detecting hidden defects have many shortcomings. Manual inspections require a lot of time and human resources. Track inspection vehicles have low detection accuracy, cannot fully cover all defect types, and cannot accurately simulate the defect-causing and disaster-causing evolution mechanism.

[0003] Among them, the most prominent problem is the mud and slurry of graded gravel on the surface of the base bed. The existing technology is unable to simulate the loss of fine particles of graded gravel, resulting in an unclear understanding of the mechanism of mud and slurry of graded gravel and an inability to detect the mud and slurry problems in high-speed railways in a timely manner. Its continued development will reduce the bearing capacity of the base bed and cause uneven settlement of the track, affecting the stability and safety of train operation. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To this end, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the problem that the existing technology cannot simulate the loss of fine particles of graded crushed stone, cannot timely detect the disease of mud and mud in high-speed railways, and affects the stability and safety of train operation.

[0038] The model building module is used to build a ballastless track-defective roadbed simulation model using the discrete element-finite difference coupling method, including:

[0039] Finite difference method was used to establish entity unit models of the foundation, subgrade bottom layer, and part of the subgrade surface layer except graded crushed stone from bottom to top.

The weighted average of the three initial fine particle mass loss ratios is used as the target fine particle mass loss ratio to reflect the degree of roadbed voiding.

[0043] The above technical solution of the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:

A three-layer graded gravel model is constructed within the simulation model to simulate graded gravel. When a load is applied to the simulation model, contact forces are generated between fine particles in the three-layer graded gravel model. The fine particle contact force ratio is used as the particle loss threshold, and the fine particle mass loss ratio is used as an evaluation index for the degree of subgrade voiding. Numerical simulation is used to establish a fitting relationship between the subgrade dynamic displacement, acceleration, and dynamic stress, and the fine particle mass loss ratio.

[0061] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present invention and implement it. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0062] Example 1

[0063] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a method for detecting hidden defects on the surface of a ballastless track subgrade, comprising:

[0064] S1: Obtain the cross-sectional dimensions and form of the ballastless track subgrade.

[0065] In this embodiment, the cross-sectional dimensions and form are determined according to the "High-Speed Railway Design Specifications" or the actual roadbed. For specific cross-sectional dimensions, refer to Table 1.

[0066] Table 1. Roadbed cross-section dimensions

[0067]

[0068] S2: Based on the cross-sectional size and form of the ballastless track subgrade, a discrete element-finite difference coupling method is used to establish a ballastless track-defective subgrade simulation model, including:

[0069] S201: Determine the discrete element contact parameters of the graded gravel in the surface layer of the subgrade.

[0070] S202: Using the finite difference method, solid unit models of the foundation, subgrade bottom layer, and part of the subgrade surface layer except for the graded crushed stone are established from bottom to top.

[0071] S203: A three-layer graded gravel model is constructed in the solid unit of the subgrade surface layer using the discrete element method to simulate mud bubbling.

[0072] Preferably, a three-layer graded gravel model is constructed by layered compaction, including: for each layer of graded gravel, first adding graded gravel and then adding a loading plate; applying a compaction load on the loading plate to press the graded gravel layer to 0.15 meters; when the displacement of the graded gravel layer reaches stability, removing the loading plate and adding the next layer of graded gravel.

[0073] The parameter settings of the three-layer graded gravel model are shown in Table 2.

[0075]

[0076] S204: The track structure is established on the three-layer graded gravel model using the finite difference method. From bottom to top, it includes: sealing layer, base plate, self-compacting concrete, slab, sleepers, and rails. The parameter settings are shown in Table 3.

[0077] Table 3. Parameter values in track structure

[0078]

[0079] S205: Obtain the dynamic response of the roadbed through acceleration sensors and displacement sensors installed on the roadbed surface, and determine the accuracy of the model by comparing the model with actual measurements.

[0080] The simulation parameters of the ballastless track-defective roadbed simulation model constructed in this embodiment are determined based on the parameter calibration method in the second step and existing research literature. In addition, to ensure the reliability of the hybrid model, it is necessary to verify the accuracy of the simulation parameters through field tests.

[0081] The dynamic response of the roadbed was captured using accelerometers and displacement sensors installed on the roadbed surface. The accelerometers had a sensitivity of 500 pC / g and a range of 150 g; the displacement sensors had a sensitivity of 1 mV / μm and a range of 3 mm. It is important to note that the test train had an axle weight of 14 tons, a fixed wheelbase of 2.5 meters, and a total train length of 201.4 meters. Furthermore, to minimize environmental impact on the test results during the field tests, multiple tests were conducted at different speeds. Linear functions were used to fit the upper and lower limits of the measured roadbed dynamic deformation and acceleration. It can be observed that the DEM-FDM coupled simulation results were all within the measurement range.

[0082] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of constructing a ballastless track-defective roadbed simulation model, where Figure 2 (1) is a schematic diagram of the ballastless track-defective roadbed simulation model established by the discrete element-finite difference coupling method. Figure 2 (2) is a schematic diagram of ground stress balance. Figure 2 (3) in the figure is a schematic diagram of applying train load.

[0083] S3: Conduct ground stress balance on the ballastless track-defective roadbed simulation model, including:

[0084] The initial boundary conditions of the ballastless track-defective roadbed simulation model are set, and gravity is applied to the model to simulate the gravity stress state of the rock and soil in its natural state.

[0085] S4: Add subgrade surface defect features to the ballastless track-defective subgrade simulation model.

[0086] In the three-layer graded crushed stone model, the removal of fine particles based on contact force is used to simulate the voiding phenomenon of graded crushed stone.

[0087] In this embodiment, the fine particle contact force ratio is used as the particle loss threshold. When the fine particle contact force is less than the average contact force, the fine particles are lost. The formula for the fine particle contact force ratio is:

[0088]

[0089] Among them, f p represents the fine particle contact force ratio, F i represents the ith contact force of the fine particle, m is the number of contacts of the fine particles, C is the total number of contacts, and f j represents the jth contact force.

[0090] The fine particle mass loss ratio is used as an evaluation index for the degree of subgrade voiding, and the formula is:

[0091]

[0092] Among them, l p represents the mass loss ratio of fine particles, m l represents the mass of fine particles lost, and m represents the total mass of particles.

[0093] The fine particle mass loss ratio l p To quantify the degree of particle loss, the fine particle loss mechanism is as follows Figure 3 The relationship between the fine particle loss mass ratio and the fine particle contact force ratio is shown in Figure 4 shown.

[0094] S5: Applying train loads to the ballastless track-defective roadbed simulation model.

[0095] The train load is expressed using a three-level Fourier series, and the formula is:

[0096]

[0097] Where F(t) represents the train load, t represents the loading time, A0 represents the axle load, and A n and B n Both represent the third-order Fourier coefficients, f represents the loading frequency, and T represents the loading period.

[0098] S6: Through numerical simulation methods, the subgrade dynamic displacement, subgrade acceleration and subgrade dynamic stress corresponding to different fine particle mass loss ratios are obtained, and fitting formulas for subgrade dynamic displacement, subgrade acceleration and subgrade dynamic stress and fine particle mass loss ratio are established respectively.

[0099] The ballastless track-defective roadbed simulation model is calculated in the gravity field until the maximum unbalanced force ratio is less than 10 -5 .

[0100] The fitting formula of roadbed dynamic displacement and fine particle mass loss ratio is expressed as:

[0101]

[0102] Among them, y1 represents the dynamic displacement of the roadbed, l p represents the fine particle mass loss ratio, A 10 、A 11 、A 12 and A 13 represents the fitting parameters.

[0103] According to the Technical Specifications for Dynamic Acceptance of High-Speed Railway Projects, the dynamic deformation of the ballastless track subgrade must be less than the specified limit of 0.22mm. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the change in dynamic deformation of the surface layer of the base bed in the present invention; Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the relationship between the fine particle mass loss ratio and the dynamic deformation of the base bed surface. Figure 5 As shown, when l p When ≤3%, the surface of the subgrade mainly shows elastic deformation, and the dynamic deformation is consistent with the applied load, showing an "M" shape. p When the deformation rate is greater than 3%, the graded crushed stone mainly shows plastic deformation, and the dynamic deformation gradually increases with the increase of loading time. Figure 6 As shown, with l p As l increases, the dynamic deformation shows a trend of increasing slowly at first and then rapidly. p When ≤3%, the dynamic deformation is less than the limit of 0.22mm. p When the content is >3%, the skeleton structure of the graded crushed stone changes, the particles are rearranged, and the graded crushed stone undergoes significant plastic deformation, which leads to the hollowing of the roadbed and reduces the service performance of the high-speed railway roadbed.

[0104] The fitting formula of roadbed acceleration and fine particle mass loss ratio is expressed as:

[0105]

[0106] Among them, y2 represents the roadbed acceleration, A 20 、A 21 、A 22 、A 23 and A 24 represents the fitting parameters.

[0107] According to the Technical Specifications for Dynamic Acceptance of High-Speed Railway Projects, the acceleration of ballastless track subgrade must be less than 10m / s 2 . Figure 7 It is a schematic diagram of the change of acceleration of the surface layer of the base bed in the present invention; Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the relationship between the fine particle mass loss ratio and the acceleration of the bed surface. Figure 7 As shown, when l p =11%, the acceleration of the second train bogie is zero when it passes, which indicates that there is complete separation between the graded crushed stone and the base plate. Figure 8 As shown, with l p With the increase of the roadbed acceleration, the roadbed acceleration increases slowly at first, then decreases rapidly, and p =9% reaches its peak value. Therefore, it can be seen that when l p When ≤3%, the acceleration is less than 10m / s 2 Moreover, when l p When the value is greater than 3%, the degree of voiding on the surface of the subgrade gradually increases, and the relative coordination deformation between the subgrade bottom surface and the base plate becomes more significant. p When it is >9%, there is complete separation between the graded crushed stone and the base plate, causing the acceleration to approach zero.

[0108] The fitting formula of roadbed dynamic stress and fine particle mass loss ratio is expressed as:

[0109]

[0110] Among them, y3 represents the dynamic stress of the roadbed, A 30 、A 31 、A 32 、A 33 、A 34 and A 35 represents the fitting parameters.

[0111] According to the Technical Specifications for Dynamic Acceptance of High-Speed Railway Projects, the dynamic stress of the subgrade surface must be less than 100kPa. Figure 9 Schematic diagram of the change of dynamic stress on the surface of the subgrade in the present invention; Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram of the relationship between the fine particle mass loss ratio and the dynamic stress of the base bed surface. Figure 9 As shown, when l p When ≤3%, the dynamic stress of the roadbed is distributed in an "M" shape, and when l p When the dynamic stress is greater than 3%, it gradually decreases with the increase of loading time. Figure 10 As shown, the dynamic stress increases with l p The increase first rises rapidly, then decreases slowly, and p =3%. Therefore, it can be seen that the dynamic stress of the subgrade at different voiding levels is less than the limit of 100 kPa, making it difficult to evaluate the performance of the high-speed railway subgrade based on dynamic stress.

[0112] S7: Three microscopic indices, namely coordination number, force chain and anisotropy, are used as evaluation indicators for the ballastless track-defective roadbed simulation model.

[0113] Based on the evolution characteristics of the coordination number, the influence of the voids in graded crushed stone on the dynamic performance of the roadbed is studied. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0114]

[0115] where Z represents the coordination number, N represents the total number of particles, and N0 and N1 are the numbers of particles with zero contact and one contact, respectively.

[0116] Figure 11 Schematic diagram of the change of coordination number of the present invention; Figure 12 Schematic diagram of the relationship between the mass loss ratio of fine particles and the coordination number of the present invention. Figure 11 As shown, with l p As the number of coordination decreases, it gradually decreases and remains stable when the second bogie passes through, especially when l p >9%. This indicates that when l pWhen the percentage is greater than 9%, the graded crushed stone gradually separates from the base plate, resulting in a gradual reduction in the train load transferred from the track structure to the base surface. Figure 12 As shown, the coordination number increases with l p This indicates that the density of the internal surface layer of the base bed decreases and the degree of voids increases.

[0117] The force chain is closely related to the ability of coarse-grained soil to withstand external loads and is usually defined by two indicators: the average contact force F a and contact direction δ, the formula is expressed as:

[0118]

[0119] Among them, F represents the strong chain, F s is the force chain, F a is the average force chain, and δ is the angle between the force chain and the horizontal plane.

[0120] Figure 13 It is a schematic diagram of the change of the strong chain in the present invention; Figure 14 Schematic diagram of the relationship between the mass loss ratio of fine particles and the strength chain of the present invention. Figure 13 As shown, when l p <11%, the strength chain presents an "M" shape consistent with the train load, and when l p = 11%, the force chain approaches zero when the second bogie passes. This indicates that when l p =11%, the gap between the graded crushed stone and the base plate is completely empty, which prevents the train load from being transferred to the surface of the base bed and makes the internal contact of the graded crushed stone tend to be stable. Figure 14 As shown in Figure 2, the force chain shows a trend of first increasing slowly and then decreasing rapidly. p When l is less than 3% and the internal skeleton structure of graded crushed stone remains unchanged, the loss of fine particles strengthens the contact interaction between coarse particles, resulting in an increase in strong chains. p The increase in the fine particles leads to a decrease in the contact interaction between the subgrade surface and the base plate, which reduces the impact of the train load on the force chain. p =11%, the strength chain approaches zero. In short, the strength chain is the most sensitive microstructural index to characterize the degree of voids in graded crushed stone.

[0121] In the two-dimensional model, the contact anisotropy of graded crushed stone is quantified to further reveal the degassing mechanism of the subgrade surface layer. The formula is expressed as:

[0122]

[0123] Where E(θ) represents the contact anisotropy, a nA parameter that defines the degree of anisotropy in the contact direction, θ n This defines the direction of anisotropy.

[0124] Figure 15 is a schematic diagram of the anisotropy of normal contact force. Figure 15 As shown, when v = 400km / h, A l =13.5t, the anisotropy of the normal contact force of the roadbed at different stages (t = 0.02s, t = 0.11s and t = 0.18s) was quantified. It can be observed that when the fine particle mass loss ratio is l p = 0%, the main direction of the contact force anisotropy shows a vertical-horizontal-vertical pattern over time; and l p >0%, the main axis direction always remains vertical. In addition, as l p As the contact anisotropy increases, the degree of contact anisotropy gradually decreases, and the main direction of the contact force gradually deviates from the vertical direction. This indicates that due to the loss of fine particles, the spatial structure inside the graded gravel has changed, causing the particles to rearrange in the vertical direction, thereby reducing the ability of the subgrade surface to withstand vertical loads.

[0125] S8: Use sensors to obtain the roadbed dynamic displacement, roadbed acceleration and roadbed dynamic stress in real time, and calculate the three initial fine particle mass loss ratios according to the fitting formula. The weighted average of the three initial fine particle mass loss ratios is used as the target fine particle mass loss ratio to reflect the degree of roadbed voiding.

[0126] In summary, the method for detecting hidden defects in the surface layer of a ballastless track subgrade described in the present invention adopts a discrete element-finite difference coupling method to establish a ballastless track-defective roadbed simulation model, and constructs a three-layer graded gravel model in the simulation model to simulate the graded gravel; after a load is applied to the simulation model, contact force is generated between fine particles in the three-layer graded gravel model, and the fine particle contact force ratio is used as the particle loss threshold, and the fine particle mass loss ratio is used as an evaluation index for the degree of roadbed voiding. Numerical simulation is used to establish a fitting relationship between the roadbed dynamic displacement, roadbed acceleration, and roadbed dynamic stress and the fine particle mass loss ratio; the roadbed dynamic displacement, roadbed acceleration, and roadbed dynamic stress are acquired in real time by sensors, and the target fine particle mass loss ratio is calculated using the fitting relationship obtained by the simulation model, thereby providing an effective indicator for the degree of roadbed voiding. The present invention reflects the degree of roadbed voiding through the target fine particle mass loss ratio, can effectively detect the mud and slurry disease of graded crushed stone on the surface of the subgrade, provides a theoretical basis for solving the disaster of graded crushed stone voiding, enhances the stability and safety of train operation, and helps maintain the daily operation of high-speed railways.

[0130] The model building module is used to build a ballastless track-defective roadbed simulation model using the discrete element-finite difference coupling method, including:

[0131] Finite difference method was used to establish entity unit models of the foundation, subgrade bottom layer, and part of the subgrade surface layer except graded crushed stone from bottom to top. Discrete element method was used to construct a three-layer graded crushed stone model within the subgrade surface layer entity unit. Finite difference method was used to establish the track structure on the three-layer graded crushed stone model.

[0132] The simulation module is used to remove fine particles based on contact force in a three-layer graded gravel model to simulate the voiding phenomenon of graded gravel. The fine particle contact force ratio is used as the particle loss threshold. When the fine particle contact force is less than the average contact force, the fine particles are lost. The fine particle mass loss ratio is used as an evaluation indicator for the degree of roadbed voiding.

[0133] A fitting module is used to apply train loads to the ballastless track-defective roadbed simulation model. Through numerical simulation methods, the subgrade dynamic displacement, subgrade acceleration, and subgrade dynamic stress corresponding to different fine particle mass loss ratios are obtained, and fitting formulas for subgrade dynamic displacement, subgrade acceleration, and subgrade dynamic stress to fine particle mass loss ratio are established respectively.

[0134] The detection module is used to use sensors to obtain the roadbed dynamic displacement, roadbed acceleration and roadbed dynamic stress in real time, and to calculate the three initial fine particle mass loss ratios according to the fitting formula. The weighted average of the three initial fine particle mass loss ratios is used as the target fine particle mass loss ratio to reflect the degree of roadbed voiding.
