Abstract


The bogie is one of the critical components of a railway vehicle, especially that of a high-speed train. Fatigue damage and life prediction of a railway bogie frame for high-speed operation are performed based on multibody dynamics and the finite element method. The multibody dynamics incorporate track conditions, that include track irregularities in the vertical and lateral direction, for both left and right rails. This study also considers the track’s curve radius and cant condition, and train speed of up to 100 m/s. The study findings show that the greater the speed, the tighter the curves, and the greater the cant difference to the equilibrium-cant results in a higher damage level. In addition, the lateral damage due to combined vertical and lateral loading contributes more towards the overall combined damage level than that of the vertical.
