Abstract:

In this paper, the mechanism of train derailment on bridge is developed by applying the system dynamics stability concepts. The theory of energy random analysis for train derailment on bridge is put forward. The contents of the theory are as follows: (1) establishing vibration equation set for the train–bridge system; (2) determining exciting source of transverse vibration of the system; (3) method of energy random analysis of transverse vibration of the system; (4) geometric rules of derailment; (5) calculation of the whole process of train derailment on bridge; (6) criteria of energy increment for judging train derailment on bridge. Finally, three cases concerning train derailment on bridges are treated that coincide with actual conditions. Some main conclusions obtained are: (1) insufficient transversal rigidity of bridge is the reason causing train derailment on bridge and (2) enhancing transversal rigidity of bridge is the main preventive measure against train derailment on bridge.
