Multi-Objective Optimization Study for the Turnout Sub-Rail Parameters Based on Orthogonal Experiment
View through CrossRef
The stiffness and damping characteristics under the turnout rail are important factors affecting vehicle safety
and stable running. According to the variable cross-section structure of a single 60 kg/m turnout No.18, a multi-body
dynamic model of the vehicle-turnout coupled system is established. Based on the orthogonal test method, 25 group
working conditions have been designed with the combination of the sub-rail stiffness and damping parameters. It has been
found that the stiffness parameters under the rail have a greater impact on the vehicle’s performance through the range
analysis of the simulation results. The vertical sub-rail stiffness mainly influences the vehicle’s vertical response and
Sperling indicator. The lateral stiffness affects the derailment coefficient and the riding comfort. The matching scheme of
the sub-rail stiffness and damping parameters is deduced by aiming towards the optimal vehicle security, stability and
comfort, which provides a reference for the sub-rail structure design.
