Analysis of loading characteristics of windshield wiper structure on high-speed train

This paper studies the structural response of high-speed train wipers under the combined action of complex flow fields and scraping actions. The stress concentration areas are determined through simulation analysis, and the stress and aerodynamic load measurement points are reasonably arranged accordingly. The actual measurement is carried out in combination with the operating conditions of the existing lines. The stress variations and spectral characteristics of the train under different speed levels (80, 160, 180, 200 km/h), tunnel entry and exit, and scraper action conditions were compared and analyzed. The stress amplification factors under tunnel intersection and scraper action were obtained, providing boundary conditions for the design of wipers for high-speed s. The research results show that the maximum stress of the wiper structure obtained through simulation calculation is concentrated at the connection of the wiper arm. Structural stress increases with the rise of speed grade. The stress increases by 1.11 times when the tunnel meets. When the scraper operates, the stress on the scraper arm increases by 4.1–7.6 times. Due to the broadband excitation effect of the aerodynamic load, the spectral energy of the structure is relatively high at the natural frequency, which excites the natural mode of the wiper.
