Influence Evaluation of Fastener Stiffness Match on Subway Rail Switch Safety

Abstract:

To study the influence law of fastener stiffness match on subway rail switch safety, and select appropriate stiffness, the No.9 subway switch was taken as an example in this paper to carry out all the following work. Based on finite element method, the influence of fastener stiffness match on the vertical dynamic relative displacement of switch rail and dynamic gauge widening were analyzed. The result shows that: the design concept of 'soft upper and rigid lower' can effectively decrease the vertical relative displacement of switch rail, and avoid the load of switch rail in advance, and ensure the safety of structure strength; It also could slow down dynamic gauge widening and serpentine movement amplitude, and improve the safety and stability of train; To ensure the safety of train, the design conception of soft upper and rigid lower should be applied for the subway switch.
