Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of train collision technology, specifically to a system for designing a spectrum of coordinated energy dissipation in train collisions across all scenarios. Background Technology
[0002] Train collision is an extremely complex and highly nonlinear process. Its collision evolution is not only related to the vehicle's own structure and rigidity-flexibility characteristics, but also affected by multiple factors such as track geometry, train speed, train formation, load status, and passenger distribution. It has high uncertainty and nonlinear coupling characteristics, making it difficult to accurately detect collision behavior.
[0003] Currently, traditional research methods mainly rely on a process of component-level testing, numerical model calibration, and collision scenario simulation. Energy dissipation analysis and collision response detection are conducted through local experiments and numerical simulations. However, existing collision test systems are mostly component-level or limited vehicle-level test platforms, lacking a test chain capable of systematically studying the collision response of full-size, multi-train formations in all scenarios. It is difficult to obtain complete longitudinal, lateral, and vertical energy transfer data. Furthermore, in collision safety design, existing methods rely heavily on experience or single-objective optimization, making it difficult to achieve coordinated dissipation and optimal matching of the overall train structure, energy absorption units, and occupant protection, thus limiting the improvement of train crashworthiness.

[0038] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0039] Railway transportation boasts advantages such as high transport capacity, low cost, minimal susceptibility to natural disasters, energy efficiency, and safety and environmental friendliness, playing a vital role in the transportation system and serving as its main artery. Although the probability of railway vehicle accidents is relatively low, the threats and damage to life and property caused by such accidents are enormous.
[0040] In recent years, with the continuous development of railway technology, the probability of railway accidents has been greatly reduced. However, railway accidents are still difficult to completely avoid. Therefore, while actively taking various proactive protective measures to minimize the occurrence of train accidents, it is also particularly important to improve the safety protection performance of trains in the event of an accident and reduce the degree of damage to people and property.
[0041] Passive safety protection technology for trains refers to safety protection measures for personnel and property when a train collision occurs. It is also known as secondary safety protection measures. It mainly involves adding impact energy-absorbing devices to the ends of the train. When a collision occurs, the energy-absorbing devices deform in an orderly and controllable manner to absorb the impact kinetic energy of the train, protecting the survival space of the driver and passengers from being destroyed. At the same time, it controls the deceleration of the train during the collision within a tolerable range, thereby minimizing personal and property losses.
[0042] Currently, existing research methods mainly rely on a process of component-level testing, numerical model calibration, and collision scenario simulation. Energy dissipation analysis and collision response detection are conducted through local experiments and numerical simulations. However, existing collision test systems are mostly component-level or limited vehicle-level test platforms, lacking a test chain capable of systematically studying the collision response of full-size, multi-train formations in all scenarios. This makes it difficult to obtain complete longitudinal, lateral, and vertical energy transfer data. Furthermore, in collision safety design, existing methods rely heavily on experience or single-objective optimization, making it difficult to achieve coordinated dissipation and optimal matching between the overall train structure, energy-absorbing units, and occupant protection, thus limiting the improvement of train crashworthiness.
[0043] Therefore, the above problem remains unresolved. (Refer to...) Figure 1 As shown in some embodiments of this application, this application provides a systematized design method for the coordinated dissipation of collision energy across all train scenarios, the method comprising: S1: To achieve a realistic reproduction of the train collision process and an accurate characterization of the energy dissipation mechanism, this application establishes a three-dimensional rigid-flexible coupled dynamic model of the operating environment, vehicles, passengers, and multi-train formations. This model comprehensively considers multi-rigid-body system dynamics, multi-flexible-body system dynamics, and the finite element method, and can fully describe the kinematic response, structural deformation, and energy transfer laws of the train and its key components during the collision process.
[0044] Kinematics of multi-rigid-body systems: The motion of a rigid body can be defined by a local coordinate system. The position of the origin relative to the reference coordinate system (X,Y,Z) and the orientation of the local coordinate system relative to the reference coordinate system are used to determine the coordinate system. Figure 2 As shown, the definition Let be the position vector of the origin of the rigid body's local coordinate system relative to the origin of the reference coordinate system. The direction of the rigid body's local coordinate system relative to the reference space can be expressed by the direction cosine matrix. This means that if a rigid body i From the origin of the local coordinate system to the rigid body i The vector of any point P on is Then the position vector of that point in the reference coordinate system space It can be represented as: Write it in matrix form: , where the matrix and They are vectors and The column matrix is composed of components relative to the reference coordinate system. From vector Components relative to the rigid body's local coordinate system. Direction cosine matrix. For matrix To matrix The transformation matrix. Therefore, the position vector. The first derivative of the formula with respect to time is: , where vector Let be the angular velocity vector of rigid body i. Let the position vector... Taking the second derivative of the formula with respect to time, we get: .
[0045] refer to Figure 3 As shown, two rigid bodies are connected by an arbitrary kinematic hinge. These two bodies are defined as i and j, respectively, where rigid body i is the parent body and rigid body j is the child body. The motion of child body j is described relative to its connected parent body i. The motion of the hinge is determined by the positional degrees of freedom of the hinge. The degrees of freedom of the hinge are represented in the column matrix. middle.
[0046] To describe the subbody j Relative to the parent body i For motion, MADYMO defines a hinged coordinate system for each rigid body. The hinged coordinate system is fixed on the volume. Assume the matrix... and Representing the body i Harmony j If the local coordinate system direction is such that the matrix is... sum matrix The transformation relationship can be expressed as: ,in, The direction cosine matrix is used to represent the volume. i The orientation of the upper hinge coordinate system relative to the local coordinate system is independent of time. The direction cosine matrix represents the volume. j The hinge coordinate system on the body i The direction of the upper hinge coordinate system represents the hinge position degree of freedom. The function.
[0047] vector (body j The position vector of the origin of the local coordinate system relative to the reference coordinate system and the vector (body iThe relative relationship between the position vector of the origin of the local coordinate system and the position vector of the reference coordinate system can be expressed by the following formula: ,in For body i The position vector of the origin of the upper hinge coordinate system relative to the origin of the local coordinate system; For body j The position vector of the origin of the upper hinge coordinate system relative to the origin of the local coordinate system; For body i From the origin of the upper hinge coordinate system to the volume j The position vector of the origin of the upper hinge coordinate system; d ij For relative to the body i The component matrix of the hinge coordinate system represents the degrees of freedom of the hinge positions. The function.
[0048] The above matrix is applied continuously to all individuals connected to the reference space. sum matrix Transformation formulas and vectors With vector The relative relationships between them are obtained until the position and orientation of all local coordinate systems relative to the reference coordinate system are obtained. Taking the first derivative of the above equation with respect to time, the angular velocity and linear velocity of the rigid body can be obtained, and their expressions are: , ,in For body j Relative to body i The angular velocity vector; by further differentiating relative to time, the angular acceleration and linear acceleration of the rigid body can be obtained.
[0049] Dynamics of multi-rigid-body systems: According to Newton's laws, any particle in a point-body system... k The relationship between the forces acting on the body and the motion can be expressed as: ,in and These represent the active external force and the constraint reaction force, respectively. Taking the vector dot product of the above equation with the virtual velocity of the mass and summing it over all masses, we get: This is called the general equation of dynamics for a point mass system. If the constraints on the system are all ideal constraints, since the virtual power done by the reaction forces of ideal constraints is zero, it can be simplified to... For a single rigid body, its dynamic equations can be expressed as: , ,in m For rigid body mass, Let the radius vector be the center of mass of the rigid body relative to the reference origin. It is the acceleration due to gravity. Represents the net external force acting on a rigid body. Let be the moment of inertia tensor of the rigid body. Rigid body central angular velocity, The net external torque acting on a rigid body about its center of mass.
[0050] A multi-rigid-body system can be viewed as a point-mass system; therefore, the general equations of dynamics for point-mass systems still hold. Furthermore, the entire system can be considered as composed of sub-point-mass systems defined by individual rigid bodies; thus, the general equations of dynamics for multi-rigid-body systems can be obtained: The above formula can be further simplified to: , where q is the position vector, M is the system mass matrix, and F is the generalized force.
[0051] The system constraint equations are: The velocity constraint equation derived from the aforementioned constraint equation is: ,in ; To constrain the Jacobian matrix, according to the equation: Therefore, the system's virtual velocity The equation should be satisfied: The above equation shows that the system's virtual velocity is related to... Each column vector is orthogonal, therefore Any linear combination of column vectors must also be orthogonal to the system's imaginary velocity. It can also be deduced that any column vector orthogonal to the system's imaginary velocity must be... A linear combination of column vectors, therefore , Let be the Lagrange multiplier. Taking the reciprocal of the time interval for the velocity constraint equations yields the acceleration constraint equations derived from them. =0, combining them yields the dynamic equations of the constrained system: .
[0052] Dynamics of a multi-flexible-body system: The components in a multi-flexible-body system can be considered as a system of sub-particles, and its virtual power can be written as: Among them, objects speed ,in Let be the velocity at the origin of the object's local coordinate system. Angular velocity, Angular acceleration, The generalized force acting on an object. Let be the generalized mass matrix of the object.
[0053] The virtual power of the entire system This is the sum of the virtual power of each component. According to general principles of dynamics, the virtual power equation for a multi-flexible-body system is: It forms the basis for deriving the dynamics of multi-flexible body systems.
[0054] When a multibody system has a tree-like structure and the friction in the hinges is negligible, the generalized coordinates of the system are independent, and the generalized external forces are also known functions of the system's state variables. Such a system is called a simple multibody system.
[0055] By modifying the inertia of the inner object and the external forces of the end object, the system's virtual power equation can be transformed into: This has the same form as the virtual power equation for a multi-body system containing n-1 objects, which is equivalent to reducing the original system by one object. Therefore, by continuously performing the above operations, a multi-flexible-body system containing n objects can be reduced to a system with only one object. It can be proven that there is a recursive relationship between the generalized accelerations of the objects; after determining the generalized acceleration of one object, the generalized accelerations of other objects in the system can be calculated sequentially in ascending order.
[0056] For complex systems, one hinge of the loop in the multibody system can be cut off, the constraint reaction force can be regarded as the external force of the hinge point, and the non-ideal constraint reaction force that may exist in the system can also be regarded as the external force of the system. Any multibody system can be simplified into a tree-like multibody system with only one ideal constraint.
[0057] Fundamental Equations of the Finite Element Method: The basic idea of the finite element method is to discretize the continuum to obtain a discrete numerical model. After discretizing a continuous structure using the finite element method, its numerical model can be obtained, and the equations of motion can be written in the following form: ,in M , D and K These are the mass, damping, and stiffness matrices, respectively. The applied external load vector, These are the acceleration / displacement and velocity vectors of the nodes, respectively. D The matrix is composed of the mass and stiffness matrices of all elements, assuming the damping is: ,in and The damping coefficient is... It is a function of time and When the equilibrium equation is reached, it can be written as: ,in It is called the nodal internal force vector.
[0058] The central difference algorithm is mainly used to solve the finite element model. The main calculation relationships of the fixed-time-step central difference method are as follows: , subscript , , , Corresponding time points ,t, and Where t is the current time point, substituting the central difference equation into the equation of motion yields: ,in , .
[0059] In the actual modeling, this application uses the MADYMO collision simulation software, coupling the finite element method with the multi-rigid-body dynamics method. Specifically, the finite element method is used to model the vehicle body structure, bogie, energy-absorbing components, etc., to accurately describe material nonlinearity and structural deformation. (Refer to...) Figure 4 As shown, multi-rigid-body modeling is used for occupant dummies, seats, hook-and-response devices, etc., to improve computational efficiency; under the rigid-flexible coupling framework, the interaction between environment, vehicle and occupant is solved simultaneously.
[0060] MADYMO boasts powerful finite element collision analysis capabilities. For the finite element method, the correctness of the material model selection directly impacts the accuracy of collision simulation results. MADYMO offers a rich set of material models, including elastic materials, elasto-plastic materials, foams and biological tissues, and ply stacking sequences, meeting diverse collision simulation needs.
[0061] S2: A full-scale collision test platform with parallel bearing and instantaneous force measurement of branch resultant force is used to conduct collision tests on the train, and the energy transfer path during the train collision process is decomposed according to the three-dimensional rigid-flexible coupling dynamic model, and the energy flow equations in the longitudinal, lateral and vertical directions are established respectively.
[0062] The full-scale collision test platform for parallel bearing and instantaneous force measurement of branch results includes a rigid wall, a test track, a train operation drive system, and a multi-branch sensor network. The rigid wall is used to simulate immovable obstacles; the track ensures the straightness and stability of the train test operation; the drive system provides the train with a set speed; and the multi-branch sensor network is used for high-precision measurement of transient impact force. To avoid the failure of a single sensor under high impact, the platform adopts a multi-branch parallel force measurement method. During the test, the electrical signals output by each branch are synchronously acquired, low-pass filtered, and time-domain aligned to ultimately form a composite impact force curve.
[0063] Specifically, refer to Figures 5 to 7As shown, in step S2, the method for conducting a collision test on the train using a full-scale collision test platform with parallel load and instantaneous force measurement of branch resultant force includes: S21: Construct a multi-branch sensor network and set the maximum load capacity for each branch; S22: Assume the total force requirement is: ,in The maximum load-bearing capacity set for branch i The upper limit of the overall force measurement is given by n, where n is the number of sensor branches. S23: When the peak local impact force exceeds the single detection range, the current is shunted through multiple branches in parallel, and the electrical signals output by each branch are synchronously acquired and digitally filtered before being synthesized to generate a full-time domain impact force curve.
[0064] The above scheme achieves high-precision measurement of transient 8000-ton impact force, avoiding the distortion problem caused by over-range in traditional single-branch schemes.
[0065] refer to Figure 8 As shown, the method for decomposing the energy transfer path in step S2 includes: S24: Set the overall kinetic energy of the train as: ,in For the total mass of the train, This refers to the train collision speed.
[0066] S25: During the collision, the overall kinetic energy of the train is decomposed into longitudinal energy dissipation. Horizontal energy consumption and vertical energy consumption : .
[0067] S26: Define the energy distribution coefficients for longitudinal, transverse, and vertical directions, respectively. ,but: , , ,in .
[0068] S27: Real-time monitoring of wheel trajectory deviation, vehicle tilt angle, and anti-climb device force. Based on the real-time monitoring results, the ratio of longitudinal, lateral, and vertical energy distribution coefficients is adjusted so that longitudinal energy is preferentially dissipated by the end energy absorption device, lateral energy is dissipated by the anti-deviation structure, and vertical energy is absorbed by the anti-climb device and bogie structure.
[0069] Through the above steps, energy is rationally distributed in three dimensions, ensuring that the train not only dissipates energy sufficiently during the collision process, but also maintains a stable trajectory, thus avoiding secondary problems such as overtaking and derailment.
[0070] S3: Based on the vehicle body structure load-bearing limit and occupant injury threshold, set the objective function for optimizing energy co-dissipation.
[0071] Specifically, refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in step S3, to ensure that the train meets both structural safety requirements and occupant survival space and injury indicators during a collision, a multi-objective energy collaborative dissipation optimization model needs to be constructed.
