With the rapid development of high-speed trains, local rolling contact fatigue caused by special local defect damage forms has become more prominent. This article takes circular defects as the research object, adopts the Jiang Sehitoglu multi-axis fatigue damage criterion based on the critical plane method, establishes a finite element model of wheel tread circular defects, and studies the influence of wheel tread circular defects on wheel rail rolling contact fatigue. Based on finite element analysis to obtain fatigue damage parameters, an improved PSO-BP neural network was used to establish a neural network prediction model for fatigue damage parameters, and the feasibility of the model was demonstrated. The research results show that the main influencing factors on the rolling contact fatigue life of wheel tread defects are shear stress and shear strain; The fatigue damage parameter is maximum at the edge of the wheel tread defect; As the defect distribution moves from the center to both sides, the contact stress and damage parameters gradually decrease; As the depth of the defect increases to the size of the radius, the contact stress and damage parameters first increase and then decrease; As the diameter of the defect increases, the contact stress and damage parameters increase, but the amplitude change gradually tends to stabilize with the increase of the defect diameter. The neural network prediction results indicate that all predicted samples are within a reasonable range, and this neural network model can provide a reference for predicting fatigue damage of wheel tread.
