Thermal and mechanical behavior of railway tracks

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:Railways are infrastructures subject to open weather conditions and also to temperature changes during the day and over the season. Due to this change, internal stresses may appear, whether tensile or compressive depending on the stress-free temperature and the current measure. High compressive stress may lead the track to buckle, meanwhile tensile stress can cause brittle failure. Given the importance of the temperature on railways, many models have been developed to correlate weather conditions and rail temperatures, in order to avoid the occurrence of mechanical instabilities which cause major problems in the operation of railroads. The present work validates one model developed by CNU university by comparing it with nite element solutions and also with experimental data of a rail track in the city of Mirandela-Portugal. A python package was developed to solve the model and is available to download. The model shows a good correlation between measured and simulated rail temperatures. In addition, by utilizing weather information of other locations in Portugal, the maximum expected rail temperatures were determined. Furthermore, mechanical analyses were made to analyze the critical temperature to reach the buckling mode of instability without the e ect of rolling loads and also the important parameters that a ect this phenomenon. The simulations show that the quality of the ballast and the initial miss-alignment of the track are the most important. Keywords:

description Railways are infrastructures subject to open weather conditions and also to temperature changes during the day and over the season. Due to this change, internal stresses may appear, whether tensile or compressive depending on the stress-free temperature and the current measure. High compressive stress may lead the track to buckle, meanwhile tensile stress can cause brittle failure. Given the importance of the temperature on railways, many models have been developed to correlate weather conditions and rail temperatures, in order to avoid the occurrence of mechanical instabilities which cause major problems in the operation of railroads. The present work validates one model developed by CNU university by comparing it with nite element solutions and also with experimental data of a rail track in the city of Mirandela-Portugal. A python package was developed to solve the model and is available to download. The model shows a good correlation between measured and simulated rail temperatures. In addition, by utilizing weather information of other locations in Portugal, the maximum expected rail temperatures were determined. Furthermore, mechanical analyses were made to analyze the critical temperature to reach the buckling mode of instability without the e ect of rolling loads and also the important parameters that a ect this phenomenon.
