Abstract

Ratcheting is a cyclic accumulation of strain under a cyclic loading. It is a kind of mechanisms which generate cracks in rail steels. Though some experimental and numerical study has been performed, modeling of ratcheting is still a challenging problem. In this study, an elastic-plastic constitutive equation with non-linear kinematic hardening equation was applied. Contact stresses in wheel-rail were analyzed. Under the tangential stress of the contact stresses, a cyclic stress-strain relation was obtained by using the model. A constant ratcheting strain per cycle was accumulated.

일정한 크기의 응력이 반복적으로 작용할 때 매 사이클마다 변형이 증가하는 현상을 라체팅이라고 한다. 라체팅은 레일이나 차륜의 균열발생 기구의 하나이지만 실험적, 이론적 측면에서 아직 많은 연구를 필요로 하는 분야이다. 레일의 경우 접선력 방향으로 소성변형이 축적되는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 차륜-레일의 구름 접촉에서 발생하는 응력의 이론해에 대해 살펴보고, 라체팅을 모델링 할 수 있는 비선형 이동 경화법칙을 사용하는 탄소성 구성방정식을 적용하여 라체팅 현상을 모델링 하였다. 일정 크기의 접촉력이 반복적으로 작용할 때 매 사이클마다 일정 크기의 소성변형이 발생하였다.
