Definitions
- the invention relates to structural damping of a carbody for a rail vehicle of modular construction.
- a carbody is the supporting structure of a rail vehicle.
- carbodies are welded together integrally from aluminum profiles or differentially from thin steel sheets are welded or spot-welded to a steel framework.
- a carbody may also comprise modules that are joined together by welding, adhesives, rivets or bolts.
- the dynamics of the carbody is directly correlated with the riding comfort of the rail vehicle.
- the secondary suspension transmits cyclic bogie motions to the carbody structure. If the exciting frequency coincides with one of the structure's natural frequencies, the excited vibrations may propagate unhindered and increase in amplitude, especially if the carbody structure shows a relatively low damping. Therefor, the hunting frequency of the bogie and the lowest natural frequency of the carbody structure need to be separated.
- an increased carbody damping allows reducing the carbody weight and/or a smaller safety margin between the bogie hunting frequency and the lowest carbody natural frequencies.
- WO 00/44601 discloses a railway vehicle with a self-supporting carbody having a floor and a roof as well as side walls which present windows and access areas.
- the side walls are each made of a frame which is rigidly connected to the floor and presents side wall elements.
- the carbody skin elements are configured in a supporting manner and fixed to frame elements by friction so as to form a ribbed plate support structure.
- the carbody skin elements comprise an integrated intermediate layer having vibration-damping properties. Frictional adhesive joints or f rictional screw or rivet joints between the frame elements and supporting carbody skin elements can be provided for.
- the supporting carbody skin elements are configured as supporting sandwich elements which consist of an outer layer, an inner layer and an intermediate layer which has heat- and/or sound-insulating and vibration-damping properties and maintains the outer and inner layer at a distance from each other. While excited carbody vibrations are damped by the adhesive joints, it is a problem of such railway vehicles that the same vibrations may propagate via frictional rivet joints.
- a carbody for rail vehicles as disclosed in DE 42 18 751 A1 comprises modular assembly units joined together in a differential construction manner and having outer skin sheets and transversal strengthening profiles.
- the neighboring end regions of the assembly units are shaped into U- and corresponding Z-profiles to form kink- and shear resistant longitudinal profiles. These profiles are joined to each other by press- bonding methods and to other parts of the carbody by frictional fastening elements, such as locking-bolts.
- frictional fastening elements such as locking-bolts.
- an intermediate layer of elastomeric adhesive is inserted between the opposing surfaces.
- the thickness of the intermediate layer is defined by a distance element to which forces of the highly pre-tensioned fastening elements are applied. The possible strength of such a joint is reduced by the intermediate layer, because forces occurring in operation of such a rail vehicle are transmitted by the friction only via the contact area of the opposing surfaces of the assembly unit profiles with the distance element.
- the object of the invention is to provide a carbody for a rail vehicle with high structural damping in structural members and in joints between structural members.
- a carbody as defined in claim 1 where the opposing surfaces of the structural members have an area of direct contact in the vicinity of the fastening means an optimal frictional transfer from one structural component to the other is provided. Additional intermediate means of a finite thickness between the opposing surfaces, which could weaken the joint strength or reduce the fatigue strength, are avoided.
- the vibration damping means are disposed between the opposing surfaces in a distance from the area of direct contact, on one hand the damping means will not reduce the friction transfer of the joint and on the other hand the vibration-damping property of the joint is provided for. In consequence, the total damping of the carbody may be increased with the advantage of a larger margin between the carbody natural frequencies and the bogie hunting frequency.
- the weight of the carbody imposed by stiffening requirements may be reduced.
- a higher riding comfort for the rail vehicle may be achieved when still using known mechanical fastening methods such as bolting and Huck bolting with frictional load transfer.
- Huck bolts are ribbed bolts that are fastened with such great torque that the bolts are deformed.
- the vibration damping means can be disposed between fastening means or along the joint at a distance from the fastening means.
- Preferably structural members with damping properties are used, such as a structural double-skinned sandwich with an intermediate core wherein the layers of the sandwich are joint by glue.
- the core is made of a low-density material such as a foamed plastic and the core effectively damp vibrations and sound and is also a good thermal insulation material.
- FIG. 1 an exploded perspective view of a modular carbody assembly
- FIG. 2 a transversal cross-section of a joint between a side wall module and the floor module.
- a carbody of a rail vehicle comprises, as shown in FIG. 1 , a plurality of structural members to be joined together.
- Each side wall comprises a long side wall module 6 in the middle and two short side wall modules 7 at the ends of the side wall, each side wall module comprises windows 17.
- Door modules 8 are arranged between the long side wall element 6 and the neighboring short side wall elements 7.
- the end walls 2 may comprise door openings 9.
- the wall modules are connected at their lower ends to the floor module 1 , at vertical opposing surfaces to each other, and at their upper ends to the roof module 3.
- the modules of the carbody are connected by fastening means 10 (cf. FIG. 2), such as bolts, preferably Huck bolts, or rivets, preferably self-piercing rivets, to achieve assembly in a time-efficient and simple manner.
- the wall and roof modules are made of steel-Divinycell-steel sandwich panels joint by glue.
- Divinycell is a trademark for a foam plastic core material.
- the core material have vibration-damping properties.
- a joint between two structural members of the carbody namely a side wall module 7 and a floor module 1
- a joint between two structural members of the carbody namely a side wall module 7 and a floor module 1
- the side wall module 7 comprises a hollow rectangular profile 14 which is mounted to the C-shaped profile 12 by two rows of huck-bolts as fastening means 10 at opposing surfaces of these profiles.
- the rectangular profile 14 and the C-shaped profile 12 are pressed together by the fastening means 10 forming thereby an area of direct contact in the vicinity of the fastening means 10 for the frictional transmission of loads between the structural members.
- Vibration damping means 15 are disposed between the opposing surfaces in a distance d from the area of direct contact.
- the vibration damping means 15 are made of a viscoelastic material, such as polyurethane, MS-polymer, silicone or butyl rubber and is mounted for example as a strip along the rows of fastening means 10.
- the vibration damping means 10 are disposed at a closest distance d from the fastening means, which lies in the range of 30 to 200 mm, preferably about 100 mm.
- the vibration damping means 15 may by disposed at further discrete positions between the interior lining 16 and the side wall module 7.
