Abstract

To study the influence of self-excited vibration on the curve squeal noise in the wheel/rail contact, the dynamical equation for 1-DOF wheel/rail lateral contact system is derived. A new friction coefficient model based on De Beer model is adopted to calculate the friction force in the wheel/rail contact surface. The influence of kinetic and static friction coefficients as well as the lateral creepage on the stability of self-excited vibration system is investigated. The calculation results show that wheel's inherent modes will be excited by the unstable self-excited vibration. If the structural damping of wheel/rail contact system is larger than the equivalent damping of the friction force, or the value of lateral creepage is less than 0.0024, the self-excited vibration system will be stable, and thus the curve squeal noise can be restrained.
