Abstract

Rolling noise is an important source of noise from railways; it is caused by wheel and rail vibrations induced by acoustic roughness at the wheel/rail contact. To reduce rolling noise, it is necessary to have a reliable prediction model that can be used to investigate the effects of various parameters related to the rolling noise. This paper deals with modeling rolling noise from wheel and rail vibrations. In this study, the track is modeled as a discretely supported beam by regarding concrete slab tracks, and the wheel vibration is simulated by using the finite element method. The vertical and lateral wheel/rail contact forces are modeled using the linearized Hertzian contact theory, and then the vibration responses of the wheel and rail are calculated to predict the radiated noise. To validate the proposed model, a field measurement was carried out for a test vehicle. It was found that the predicted result agrees well with the measured one, showing similar behavior in the frequency range between 200 and 4000 Hz where the rolling noise is prominent.

전동 소음은 철도의 주요한 소음 중 하나이며, 차륜과 레일의 음향 조도에 의해 차륜 및 레일이 진동하면서 발생한다. 이러한 전동 소음의 저감 대책을 수립하기 위해서는 관련 인자들의 영향을 파악할 수 있는 예측모델이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 차륜과 레일의 진동 특성을 이용해 전동 소음을 예측하기 위한 모델링에 관해 다루었다. 슬라브 도상 궤도에 대하여 1단 이산 탄성 지지 구조를 가진 보로 모델링 하였으며, 차륜 진동은 유한요소법을 이용한 수치해석을 적용하였다. 수직 및 수평방향 차륜-레일 집촉력들의 연성은 선형 Hertzian 접촉이론으로 모델링 하였고, 차륜과 레일의 진동 응답을 계산한 후 방사되는 소음을 예측하였다. 예측 모델의 신뢰성을 검증하기 위하여 시험차량에 대해 전동 소음을 측정하였다. 예측치가 측정치와 잘 일치하였으며, 특히 전동 소음이 주요하게 기여하는 200~4000Hz 주파수 대역에서 유사한 경향으로 나타남을 확인하였다.
