We conducted full scale experiment to study the derailment mechanism of high speed railway vehicle by earthquake ground motion. The experiment was arranged to mimic the vehicle/track conditions of Tokaido Shinkansen by using the bolsterless bogie and the track materials both presently in use for Tokaido Shinkansen. Large excitations enough to derail the test vehicle were given, so that derailment motions were fully captured. Through the tests, (1) Total 34 cases of derailment were observed by the sine wave excitations in the frequency ranges of 1.1Hz to 1.5Hz. The test vehicle was derailed as the result of rocking motion. (2) Wheel lifts of around flange height without derailment were observed by the sine wave excitations in the frequency ranges of 0.5Hz to 1.0Hz. (3) By comparing the vehicle motions of two cases of different ballast conditions, we learned that dynamic features of the ballast track brings no significant difference on the vehicle dynamics of those cases. (4) Finding reasonable match between the experimental results and analytical results obtained from the simulation developed by the authors, we further investigated the possibility of derailment by the sine wave excitations in the frequency ranges of 0.5Hz to 1.0Hz and found that vehicle was to be derailed by giving larger excitation amplitudes than those given in the experiment.
