Influence Analysis of Mortar Elastic Modulus to CRTS III Slab Track Vertical Dynamic Response

Abstract:

A train-CRTS Ⅲ slab track coupling dynamic model was proposed to study the dynamic performance of the system. Rail was modeled as space beam element. Both slab and HGT layer were modeled as plate element respectively. The vertical and lateral connections between rail, slab, HGT layer, and subgrade were modeled as spring-damper element. The vibration matrix equation of the system was established on the basis of the principle of the total potential energy with stationary value in elastic system dynamics and the rule of “set-in-right-position” for formulating system matrices. The influence of mortar elastic modulus to CRTS Ⅲ slab track vertical dynamic response was calculated when the train runs at 350 km/h. The results show that the larger of mortar elastic modulus, the faster the vibration between rail and slab decays, and the slower the vibration between slab and HGT layer decays.
