By establishing vehicle-track space coupled model and rail corrugation evaluation model, the generation mechanism of rail corrugation was analyzed in frequency domain and time domain, and development characteristics of corrugation were studied by using corrugation growth rate. Analysis based on frequency domain: through modal analysis and frequency response analysis on the finite element model of track structure, it is found that there are natural frequencies of track structure close to measured corrugation passing frequencies. It shows that the vibration modes corresponding to these frequencies can be more easily excited, which can cause the resonance phenomenon of track structure and form the rail corrugation at corresponding frequencies. Analysis based on time domain: the time-history curves of rail vertical vibration acceleration and rail vertical displacement are calculated by using vehicle-track coupled model and the frequency domain transformation of the time-history data is carried out. It is found that there are characteristic frequencies close to the measured corrugation passing frequencies, which indicates that the vibration of track structure at corresponding frequencies is an important reason to promote the formation of corrugation. The change of vehicle speed has no effect on characteristic frequencies of corrugation growth rate curves, which reflects the fixed frequency characteristic of corrugation. With the increase of train operation times, the corrugation corresponding to characteristic frequencies will gradually form and develop, and the increase of vehicle speed will increase the wavelength range and development speed of rail corrugation.
