摘要
A quadruple discrete element method (QDEM) was developed for viscoelastic multi-body dynamics. The sleeper motion modeled using QDEM was coupled with the rail motion modeled using a finite element method (FEM). The traffic impact response of a ballast particle and a sleeper was analyzed. The three-dimensional spatial distribution of ballast particle displacement was clearly revealed. Moreover, the ballast layer absorbed the low frequency vibration of the sleeper more effectively than its high frequency vibration. This study suggests that the proposed QDEM-FEM can provide greater insight into the impact response of ballasted railway tracks.
