- Abstract
The focus of this paper is to examine the dynamic factor of the suburban railway by utilizing the random vibration approach. Breaking through the previous methods of relying on huge amounts of measured data, herein, the dynamic factor essentially results from two major parts: the dynamic effect caused by moving train loads and that generated by track irregularity, which has clear physical significance. As the internal excitation of the vehicle–bridge system, track irregularity has strong randomness. Based on the dimension reduction method, the spatial domain power spectral density (PSD) of the track irregularity is transformed into the time-domain PSD. Therefore, the randomness of the random process is reduced by exploiting the constraint form of a random function, and then, the typical samples of the track irregularity considering randomness are constructed. Using the vehicle–bridge coupled vibration model, the standard deviation of the dynamic factor is evaluated accounting for the random track irregularity and 99.7% guarantee rate. Finally, the impact coefficient of the track irregularity on the bridge is methodically obtained. The sensitivity of the standard deviation of the dynamic factor to vehicle speed and bridge frequency is analyzed. The given solution methodology can fully take into account the randomness of the track irregularity. Thereby, it provides the dynamic factor formulas as a reference for the dynamic performance evaluation of suburban railway bridges and possible revision of current design specifications.
