Abstract Rail weld irregularities are one of the primary excitation sources for vehicle-track interaction dynamics in modern high-speed railways. They can cause significant wheel-rail dynamic interactions, leading to wheel-rail noise, component damage, and deterioration. Few researchers have employed the vehicle-track interaction dynamic model to study the dynamic interactions between wheel and rail induced by rail weld geometry irregularities. However, the cosine wave model used to simulate rail weld irregularities mainly focuses on the maximum value and neglects the geometric shape. In this study, novel theoretical models were developed for three categories of rail weld irregularities, based… More >
