A model of the rotating rigid wheelset and its influence on the wheel and track rolling noise
INTER-NOISE and NOISE-CON Congress and Conference Proceedings(2023)
Abstract
The dynamic and acoustic behaviour of the railway wheel is defined by its numerous vibration modes and natural frequencies. The modes whose contribution to the rolling noise radiation are predominant generally have 2 or more nodal diameters and appear above 2 kHz. The vibration due to these modes is decoupled from the rest of the wheelset, allowing the wheel to be treated separately. The error produced in the wheel noise prediction by this treatment appears at the low and medium frequencies and is negligible since the wheel emission occurs mainly at the high frequency range. However, given the dynamic coupling between the wheel and track, the changes in the dynamics of the former affect the latter, whose radiation is predominantly in the low and medium frequency range. Therefore, in order to correctly study both elements, it is necessary to include the contribution of the rest of the wheelset in the wheel response. In this work, this contribution is introduced through an analytical approach considering the rigid body motion of the wheelset and a benchmarking against an equivalent numerical formulation is carried out for validation purposes. In addition, the inertial effects associated with the rotation under straight circulation conditions are considered.
