Aiming at the structure of double-block ballastless track, a Winkler foundation composite beam analytical model was established to predict the bending deformation of the track during uneven settlement of a concave-cosine soil subgrade. And by comparing and verifying the beam body finite element model considering the nonlinear contact between the track and subgrade, the critical conditions applicable to the Winkler foundation composite beam model for predicting track deformation, namely the critical conditions triggered by the nonlinear contact between the track and subgrade, were determined. The research shows that under the condition of small settlement amplitude/wavelength, the predicted results of the two models are in good agreement. While, under the condition of large settlement amplitude/wavelength, the predication results of rail deformation of the analytical model are larger. The finite element simulation results of the beam body show that there is a significant void phenomenon between the track and the roadbed, with a contact stress of 0. The critical conditions triggered by the nonlinear contact between the track and subgrade are given, that is, when the wavelength of uneven settlement is 10, 15, 20, 25 m, the critical settlement amplitude of Winkler foundation composite beam model is 1, 3, 10, 30 mm respectively, and when it is greater than the critical settlement amplitude, the contact nonlinearity between the track and the roadbed begins to trigger. The settlement wavelength-critical settlement amplitude curve of Winkler foundation composite beam is obtained, which provides theoretical basis and calculation method for rapid and accurate prediction of rail surface deformation under uneven settlement conditions of the subgrade.
