Rail Dynamic Vibration Absorber Design and Vibration Reduction Analysis

The rail between two adjacent fasteners is regarded as the research object, and the rail is simplified as the main vibration system of undamped single degree of freedom, which supports the elastic components. The dynamic vibration absorber is simplified as a spring and damped system of 3-DOF(three degrees of freedom), to establish a mathematical model of rail dynamic vibration absorber. Through relevant theories, the parameter values of dynamic vibration absorber can be deduced when it achieves the best absorption effect. In accordance with the parameters, the scantlings of the structure of the dynamic vibration absorber can also be designed. Through the finite element software, the finite element model CRTS _ Ballastless Track system is established; with consideration of the value of irregularity, we load it variously. Analysis results showed that: compared to the rail and track where the dynamic vibration absorber is not installed, the maximum vertical displacement of the rail and track where a dynamic vibration absorber is installed was reduced by 65% and 67% respectively, the maximum vertical acceleration decreased by 75% and 70% and around, which reveals that the rail dynamic vibration absorber has a good vibration-reducing effect.
