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 reviews, synthesises and benchmarks new understandings relating to railway
vibrations. Firstly, the effect of vibrations on passenger comfort is evaluated, followed by its …

Theoretical model is the base for the study of vehicle–track coupled dynamics problems. In
this chapter, the principle and methodology for modeling of vehicle–track coupled systems …

Among all the recent improvements in the railway industry, ground vibration remains an
important showstopper in metropolitan cities. In some particular cases, significant levels of …

The noise impact of the whole railway infrastructure was characterized in the urban
environment of Pisa, Italy. The ordinary train transits were considered, nevertheless it was …

Vibration and noise aspects play a relevant role in the lifetime and comfort of urban areas
and their residents. Among the different sources, the one coming from the rail transit system …

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 …

Railway tracks experience stress during train passage. Understanding these subgrade
stresses is essential for the design of track foundations and assessing their serviceability …

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 …

This paper outlines an experimental analysis of ground-borne vibration levels generated by
high speed rail lines on various earthwork profiles (at-grade, embankment, cutting and …
