Beam on elastic foundation theory is widely employed when studying railway track
behaviour, for applications such as track dynamics, and noise and vibration. At a basic level …

This paper is a review of the effect of vehicle characteristics on ground-and track borne-
vibrations from railways. It combines traditional theory with modern thinking and uses a …

There is a great need to develop rail networks over long distances and within cities as more
sustainable transport options. However, noise and vibration are seen as a negative …

A field measurement of ground vibration was performed on the Bei**g− Shanghai high-
speed railway in China. In this paper, the experimental results of vertical ground vibration …

In this paper, a numerical approach for the prediction of vibrations induced in buildings due
to railway traffic in tunnel is proposed. The numerical method is based on a sub-structuring …

The first part of the paper includes a brief presentation of a 2.5 D FEM-BEM model,
developed by the authors, which is able to lead with problems of vibrations induced by traffic …

Train-induced vibration prediction of the over-track buildings requires acceptable both
efficiency and accuracy in the preliminary construction stage. To ensure accuracy, soil …

Track irregularities generated during the running service of high-speed railways aggravate
vibrations of the track and the surrounding ground environment. To better understand the …

Sponsored by the US National Science Foundation, a workshop on the boundary element
method (BEM) was held on the campus of the University of Akron during September 1–3 …

This paper presents a numerical study developed in order to understand the dynamic
behavior of ballasted tracks with mats including the train–track–ground interaction. In order …
