Abstract: The problem of rail corrugation in urban rail transit not only affects the rail service life, but also causes large booming noise, influencing the traveling environment. To study the characteristics of wheel/rail booming noise caused by rail corrugation, a corrugation field test is carried out to obtain track irregularity data under real corrugation condition. Based on the train-track coupling dynamics, compared with the commonly used Grade VI track irregularity of the United States, the wheel/rail interactive force under condition of measured corrugation short wave irregularity excitation is analyzed. Wheel/rail interactive force is taken as excitation condition and input into wheel/rail finite element model with detailed constraints respectively, combined with boundary element method, the wheel/rail noise radioactive characteristics under corrugation condition are predicted and analyzed. Results show that the rail corrugation will significantly increase the wheel/rail interactive force in the range above 200 Hz frequency, intensifying wheel/rail vibration, resulting in the generation of booming noise.
