| description | Wheel flat can seriously affect the wheel–rail contact performance and cause impact vibrations, which significantly threaten the safe operation of railway vehicles. It is crucial to accurately assess the effects of wheel flats on the wheel–rail contact performance and the vibration impact on the traction drive system. However, studies related to wheel flats have focused on the mechanical part and have yet to fully consider the electrical and mechanical parts of the entire traction drive system. Therefore, this paper first builds an electromechanical coupling model based on the electric traction drive system and the locomotive-track coupling dynamics model. Then, based on this model, the impact of the wheel flat on the electrical and mechanical parts of the traction drive system under different flat lengths, different flat depths, and different vehicle speeds was analyzed. The results indicate that with the increasing depth of the flat spot, the wheel–rail dynamic response, motor rotor speed, and motor torque exhibit more significant fluctuations. Additionally, as the locomotive speed increases, the impact of the flat on the wheel–rail contact performance intensifies. Wheel flats can excite the 1st bending mode of the wheelset, resulting in vibration shocks at 90 Hz. |
