From the third body layer modeling to its effect on railway vehicle dynamics

Résumé

Kalker’s rolling contact theories allow good estimation of the creep forces only for situation with scrupulously clean surfaces. When wear particles mix with the substances added naturally or artificially, a Third Body Layer (3BL) is formed at the wheel-rail interface. This layer influences the initial slope of the creep force characteristic. A 3D finite element mod-el is developed in this paper to study the wheel-rail rolling contact in the presence of a thin elas-tic 3BL at the rail surface. The result shows reduction in the initial slope of the creep forces characteristic i.e. Kalker’s coefficients. In order to evaluate the effect of the 3BL on railway ve-hicle dynamics, a reducing factor K is evaluated from the creep curve then applied to the multi-body software VOCO. The study of derailment shows a slight decrease of the peak of Y/Q ratio which remains above Nadal criterion. However, the critical speed of the vehicle is considerably reduced when the factor K is applied.
