Analysis of Incidence of Rail Failure and Track Composite Irregularity State Forecast

Abstract

Rail failure and track composite irregularity is the source of violent harassment of the wheel-rail system. Track irregularity has significant impact on the driving security and stability of the train. At present, the focus of the Chinese railway development is high speed, heavy haul and shortcut transportation, thus the influences of rail failure and track composite irregularity will be more remarkable, which has become a primary factor that limits the running speed. This paper analyzes the characters of rail failure and formation mechanism of the track irregularity, forecasts the trend of track irregularity development and explores the hidden risks that might occur and influence the safety of railway traffic.
