Study on the Stress Variation Mechanism for the Rails under the Wheels Repeated Rolling Effects

Abstract：Based on the real geometry and boundary conditions of the wheels and rails, the models of 60kg/m U75V heavy rail and the wear regions of LM are built using ANSYS/LS-DYNA software. The internal stress value and variation of the heavy rails that were repeatedly crushed by the rolling wheels are analyzed using the ANSYS/LS-DYNA3D software. The relationship of the internal stress and variation of heavy rails with the repeated rolling of the wheels are obtained. It provides an important theoretical proof and reference significance to prevent the different failure behaviors of the rails.
