Abstract

With the increasing of train speed and axle load,the wheel flats occur more frequently. A detection method for wheel flats is proposed based on PSO-SVM,in which high-order spectrum is used to extract the features of the rail vibration responses when the train runs on the rail. A vehicle-track vertical coupling system and wheel flat are modeled and the rail dynamic responses are calculated with the condition of normal wheel and wheel flat. The two-dimensional contour and three-dimensional double spectrum diagrams are obtained by analyzing two kinds of rail vibration responses with high-order spectrum method. Six texture features of the 2D contour map,which are extracted from gray-gradient co-occurrence matrix,are combined with the train speed to detect whether there is a wheel flat by PSO-SVM. Then the peak value of the diagonal slice of the three-dimensional double spectrum map and the frequency of the inner spread of the two-dimensional contour map are added into PSO-SVM to recognize different wheel-flat levels. The results show that the detection accuracy of normal wheel and wheel flats can be up to 100% and the recognition accuracy of wheel flat different levels is 94.6%. Finally,the recognition accuracy are compared and analyzed between high-order spectrum and EMD methods which are used to extract the feature signals. For EMD method,the detection accuracy for wheel flats is 98.3%,and for different wheel flat levels is only 56.4%. The investigation shows the detection method based on high-order spectrum and PSO-SVM can be used to identify wheel flat and its levels effectively.
