Abstract
The rail corrugation on high rail often generates on ballast-less track, however its mechanism has been not known in detail yet. In this paper, first of all, we assumed that the track supporting stiffness under sleeper influenced the generation situation of high rail corrugation based on the results of the various field investigations. Then, we developed vehicle dynamic simulation models by means of multibody dynamics for verifying the influence of the track supporting stiffness. In addition, we simulated on-board measurement for verifying adequacy of analysis method. Finally, we examined influence of the track stiffness on the dynamic interaction between vehicle and track.
