  • To study the reason for the abnormal fracture of e-type clips on small-radius curved subway tracks, the development of rail corrugation on Line X of the Chengdu Metro over an extended period was monitored and measured. Based on the theory of friction-induced self-excited vibration, a comprehensive solid finite element model of the wheelset−rail−fastening system was established. The effects of short-pitch rail corrugation and long-pitch rail corrugation on the vibration fatigue life of e-type clips were studied by means of implicit dynamic analysis and harmonic response analysis. The study reveals that both types of rail corrugation result in a decrease in the vibration fatigue life of the e-type clips. Greater amplitude of rail corrugation indicates shorter vibration fatigue life of the clips. Rail corrugation can not only induce the e-type clip to generate forced vibrations at the frequency matching that of the rail corrugation but also easily trigger vibrations at multiples of this frequency in the e-type clips. For short-pitch rail corrugation, due to the existence of a frequency twice that of the rail corrugation, the rail corrugation with wavelengths of 25 mm and 40 mm is most likely to lead to vibration fatigue failure of the e-type clips under the influence of short-pitch and long-pitch rail corrugation with the same wave depth amplitude. When the wave depth amplitude of long-pitch rail corrugation with a wavelength of 120 mm is large, the vibration fatigue life of the clips decreases sharply due to the excited 6-fold vibration. However, the long-pitch rail corrugation with a wavelength of 240 mm has only a limited impact on the vibration fatigue life of the clips due to the attenuation of vibration intensity.
