[0082] S4, the parameters obtained in S3 are substituted into the concrete performance degradation curve model and the steel bar performance degradation curve model to obtain the concrete performance degradation curve and the steel bar performance degradation curve;

[0083] The concrete performance degradation curve includes the stiffness degradation curve and the strength degradation curve of the concrete, and the strength degradation curve includes the compression strength degradation curve and the tension strength degradation curve.

[0084] The expression of the concrete stiffness degradation curve model is as shown in formula (4.1):

The positive temperature gradient means that the temperature decreases linearly from the surface of the ballastless track downward. The deformation data of the ballastless track concrete structure under the temperature action is obtained by numerical simulation, and the deformation data is assigned as an initial condition to the ballastless track concrete structure and dynamic simulation is performed to obtain the stress and strain distribution.

It is suggested that the time span is at least 2 years in the rapid development period of the crack in the first ten years, and the time span is 5 years or 10 years in the stable development period after ten years. The number of cyclic loadings in each adjustment is determined according to the time span, and steps S6, S7 and S8 are repeated. Before each adjustment of the number of cyclic loadings, it is judged whether fatigue failure occurs in the current concrete and steel bar. If one of them occurs, the calculation is stopped.

[0145] It is assumed that the number of fatigue load cycles N0 of the ballastless track per year is 300,000 times in the embodiment, that is, the number of fatigue load cycles N0 of the ballastless track per year is 300,000 times, and that the simulation time step is 5 years, that is, the train operation time t is 5 years. The increment of the number of fatigue load cycles N is 30*5 million times. The number of fatigue loadings N is started from 0 and increased by 1.5 million times each time, that is, N1=1.5 million times, N2=1.5*2 million times, and so on. The number of fatigue loadings N in each simulation is substituted into the performance degradation curves of the concrete and the steel bar to obtain the physical parameters of the material after performance degradation, and the obtained physical parameters are updated to the ballastless track model considering the temperature effect. With the increase of the number of simulations, the train operation time t (unit: year) gradually increases. The train operation time t can also be selected according to an arithmetic sequence. The time span is generally 1 year to 10 years. For example, the time span is 2 years, t=2, 4, 6. For example, the time span is 5 years, t=5, 10, 15. The larger the time span, the fewer the simulation times, but the lower the prediction accuracy. The smaller the time span, the higher the prediction accuracy, but the more the simulation times. In the embodiment, t=1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60. There are 10 simulations.

[0146] Figure 4 It is the stress nephogram of the ballastless track slab after 20 years in the embodiment. In the embodiment, when the train operation time t is 60 years, that is, the number of fatigue load cycles N0 is 45 million times, the concrete reaches the fatigue failure state, and the subsequent simulation is stopped.

[0147] It should be noted that although the concrete structure has a tension phenomenon, and a concrete tension constitutive model is used to describe this phenomenon in the numerical simulation process, the concrete has weak tension capacity, and engineering design often makes the concrete mainly bear pressure rather than tension stress, so as to avoid the first tension failure, make the compression failure appear before the tension failure, and thus maximize the advantages of the concrete. Therefore, the compression failure is mainly considered when judging the fatigue failure.

[0148] S8, define the ratio of the crack area of the non-ballasted track in a certain cross section to the cross section area as the fatigue damage ratio; according to all the simulation results obtained in S7, the crack area of the concrete structure under different fatigue loading times N is obtained, and the fatigue damage ratio development time-varying curve is fitted according to the fatigue damage ratio under different fatigue loading times N, and the fatigue damage of the non-ballasted track concrete structure is predicted according to the obtained curve.

[0149] With the increase of the fatigue loading times N, the strain of the concrete structure gradually increases, and in the finite element software ABAQUS, there is a parameter that can measure the relationship between the strain of the concrete and the development of the non-ballasted track crack, which is the stiffness degradation rate, when the stiffness degradation rate reaches 1, it indicates that the part of the concrete is cracked due to fatigue damage. For example, as shown in Figure 5 , Figure 5 is the crack cloud map of a certain cross section of the non-ballasted track after simulating the train operation for 2 years in the embodiment, at this time, the stiffness degradation rate of the non-ballazed track at a certain place reaches 0.72, which is close to 1, indicating that the place is about to crack. Then, by investigating the area of the region where the stiffness degradation rate of a certain cross section of the non-ballazed track reaches 1 in the simulation results, the total crack area is obtained by dividing the cross section area of the non-ballazed track, and the fatigue damage ratio is obtained. According to the damage conditions of the non-ballazed track obtained by the simulation experiment, the cross section with the largest crack of the track plate is taken as the criterion, the crack area to cross section area ratio is used to describe the damage degree, and the track plate damage ratio-time curve is drawn to guide the practice. Figure 6 is the fatigue damage ratio-time varying curve of a certain cross section of the non-ballazed track plate, as shown in the figure, the crack of the track plate develops rapidly at the initial stage of service, and the crack degree of the track plate tends to be stable after 10 years of service.

[0150] In the process of simulation for a certain specific working condition, the temperature load needs to be obtained according to the actual environmental temperature load suffered by the non-ballazed track under the working condition, and the temperature load varies with different regions. The actual size of the temperature load can be determined according to the relevant specifications in the art.

[0151] After predicting the fatigue damage of the non-ballazed track concrete structure, the engineering design can be guided, and the non-ballazed track structure design can be adjusted to meet the operation requirements of the 400km / h+ high-speed train, so as to ensure the stability and safety of the high-speed train in the long-term service state. When adjusting the non-ballazed track structure design, the parameters such as the strength, thickness of the concrete, the strength, diameter and spacing of the steel bars are considered. By using the method of the present application, the fatigue damage ratio development time-varying curve of the concrete structure under a certain design working condition can be obtained with fewer simulation times, and even if the non-ballazed track structure design is adjusted, the simulation and prediction can be completed in a short time, which takes into account the prediction efficiency and prediction accuracy.

[0152] The above examples are only for illustrating the technical concept and characteristics of the present application, and the purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of the present application and to implement it, and cannot limit the protection scope of the present application. Any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit and essence of the present application shall be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
