Abstract
High-order polygonal wear of wheels is one of the most severe technical challenges for China's high-speed trains at present, and its formation mechanism has not been thoroughly understood. The effect of train traction on the wheel polygonal wear of high-speed trains was studied based on a wheel/rail rolling contact finite element model. The frequency domain characteristics of unstable vibration of the wheel/rail system under rolling/sliding contact were studied by using the finite element complex modal analysis method. We also examined wheel/rail contact forces and friction in the time domain. The cause of the high-order polygonal wear of Chinese high-speed train wheels was revealed. The effect of the vehicle speed and the wheel diameter on wheel polygonal wear were investigated. The results show: the friction-induced vibration of the wheel/rail system will be excited when the rolling/sliding contact between the wheel and rail. The radial zoom modal of the wheel is an unstable mode, which is the main cause of the 21-22 order polygonal wear of the high-speed train wheels in China. Additionally, vehicle speed has a linear relationship with the order of polygonal wear. Reducing the vehicle speed helps to control the polygonal wear of the wheels. Wheels of different diameters exhibit varying degrees of polygonal wear, with smaller wheels being more resistant to friction-induced vibrations.
