| Summary: | In this study, the fatigue behavior in high-speed train bogie frames and mounted traction motors was investigated through dynamic stress measurements and vibration analysis. A spectrum synthesis method was developed to integrate multipoint random vibrations from the bogie frame into a unified excitation spectrum for motor fatigue assessment. The results demonstrate that fatigue damage in the bogie frame progresses linearly with increasing speed, with critical stress concentrations being identified at the motor base weld seams (41.4 MPa equivalent stress at 400 km/h). Traction motor vibration spectra were found to deviate substantially from IEC 61373 standards, leading to higher fatigue damage that follows an exponential growth pattern relative to speed increases. The proposed methodology provides direct experimental validation of component-specific fatigue mechanisms under operational loading conditions. |
