Bending Deformation of U75V Heavy Rail through Natural Cooling Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

The cooling process of heavy rail is the important step to the output, that the preflexed rail is cooled on the stepping-type cold bed which has been carried by the chain transmission device. We employed the finite element method to analyze the bending deformation of the U75V rail through natural cooling process, the effected factors including the rail side-laying on the cold bed, the latent heat of phase change, and the thermal radiation are considered in the analysis. In the paper, we discussed the establishment of the heavy rail cooling model, the cooling parameters and the boundary condition, and emphatically analyzed the rail bending deformation changes and its principles through the cooling process. The study of the hundred-meter high speed heavy rail can provide the theoretical foundation and reference value to the formulation of cooling technical parameters and preflex technical schedule.
