Research on Evolution Mechanism of Longitudinal Creep in Ballasted Continuous Welded Rail Turnouts for Railways in Extreme Environments[J]. Journal of Southwest Jiaotong University, 2026, 61(3): 1021-1030. doi: 10.3969/j.issn.0258-2724.20260072 |
To elucidate the evolution mechanism of longitudinal creep in ballasted continuous welded rail turnouts in extreme environments, based on time-series displacement data and resistance evolution characteristics, a refined analysis model for longitudinal creep of in-service ballasted continuous welded rail turnouts was established, with consideration of track resistance degradation effects. This model was developed through the analysis of resistance curve offsets, the decomposition of loading/unloading paths, and the search for the shortest equivalent path. The nonlinear longitudinal mechanical behavior of turnout rails and sleepers under extreme diurnal temperature cycles was elucidated for the first time, and the influence of updated fastening and ballast resistance parameters on residual stress and prediction results of cumulative creep displacement was assessed. The results indicate that cyclic loads with opposing directions and asymmetric amplitudes exacerbate longitudinal creep, with 15 extreme diurnal rail temperature cycles ranging from −50 ℃ to 10 ℃ resulting in a maximum residual rail deformation of 4.98 mm. Moreover, updating the parameters with a 20% degradation in both fastener and ballast resistance during the cycles causes the maximum residual rail deformation to increase to 5.48 mm, while the maximum residual stress of the nose rail grows by 20.24%.
