Rolling stock vibrodynamic impact model on railway pipelines

Abstract

The present paper presents the rolling stock vibrodynamic impact model on railway pipelines, obtained on the basis of experimental studies conducted under field conditions at a railway station. The experimental research program provided for the determination of the effect of vibration-dynamic effects of rolling stock on the working condition of pipes and butt joints by conducting vibration-measuring work on the investigated section of the railway pipeline during the passage of various series of locomotives. The proposed modeling method makes it possible to obtain a correlation function of the oscillatory process of a railway pipeline, on the basis of which a spectral density is constructed to identify the amplitude-frequency range at which a stable resonance region occurs, leading to the destruction of the pipeline.
