Strength Test and Evaluation of Urban Rail Vehicle Bogie Frame
Publication: Resilience and Sustainable Transportation Systems
ABSTRACT
This paper discussed the strength of bogie frame of metro vehicle which was evaluated by full-scale test, including static test, fatigue test, and track test. The measurement points were arranged according to the finite element analysis results and experience. The average stress and stress amplitude of each measuring point are substituted into Goodman fatigue limit envelope to evaluate whether the frame meets the fatigue strength requirement. The fatigue life was predicted based on S-N curve and Miner damage accumulation theory. It has been found that the selection of measuring points and the loading control are the key to the strength testing and evaluation.
