STUDY ON SCALED MODEL OF RAIL BEAM STRUCTURE OF SUSPENDED MONORAIL TRANSIT SYSTEM

  • 摘要: 在车辆荷载作用下钢结构桥梁的关键构件会受到循环荷载作用而产生疲劳,疲劳的不断积累可能会导致构件发生疲劳损伤甚至断裂。为确保新型悬挂式单轨交通系统轨道梁结构疲劳性能及寿命满足要求,以相似三定理的经典相似理论为基础,采用与设计要求相同焊接条件,制作缩尺整桥跨轨道梁模型并进行疲劳试验,确定轨道梁结构的破坏关注点及疲劳寿命;建立轨道梁结构有限元模型,分析实际列车车辆移动作用下轨道梁的疲劳力学性能,并根据名义应力法确定该轨道梁各关键连接处焊趾的疲劳性能。结果表明:跨中腹板与下翼缘板连接处与跨中纵肋与下翼缘板连接处焊趾为疲劳易损部位,循环次数为200万次时,两处等效常幅疲劳极限分别为89.59 MPa和70.52 MPa;跨中腹板与下翼缘板连接处与跨中纵肋与下翼缘板连接处焊趾的最大应力幅分别为38.08 MPa和36.55 MPa,均小于等效常幅疲劳极限,等效疲劳寿命分别为2605.06万次与1436.47万次,即轨道梁结构在正常服役期间不会发生疲劳破坏。研究成果可为考虑悬挂式单轨交通系统轨道梁结构在移动荷载作用下的疲劳应力和疲劳寿命的分析提供参考。

     

    Abstract: Under the influence of vehicular loads, the critical components of steel structure bridges are subjected to cyclic loading and fatigue, which may progressively accumulate and result in fatigue damage or even fracture. To ensure that the fatigue performance and lifespan of the track beam structure in the newly developed suspended monorail transit system meet the necessary standards, a scaled track beam model spanning the entire bridge length was constructed based on the principles of classical similarity theory encompassed by the three similarity theorems. Subsequently, fatigue testing was conducted to identify the failure points and assess the fatigue life of the track beam structure. A finite element model of the track beam structure was also established to evaluate its fatigue mechanical properties under the dynamic loading conditions of real train movements. According to the nominal stress method, the fatigue characteristics of the key joints within the track beam were determined. The findings indicate that the joints between the mid-span web and the lower flange plate, as well as the joints between the mid-span longitudinal stiffener and the lower flange plate, are particularly susceptible to fatigue. After 2 million cycles, the equivalent constant-amplitude fatigue limits for these two locations are 89.59 MPa and 70.52 MPa, respectively. The maximum stress amplitudes at the weld toes of the aforementioned joints are 38.08 MPa and 36.55 MPa, respectively, both of which are below the equivalent constant-amplitude fatigue limits, with corresponding fatigue lives of 26,056,600 cycles and 14,364,700 cycles, respectively. This suggests that the track beam structure will remain free from fatigue damage during regular operation. These research outcomes can provide a valuable reference for the analysis of fatigue stress and fatigue life of rail beam structures under moving loads in suspended monorail transit systems.
