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 …

Understanding the dynamics of railway vehicles, and indeed of the entire vehicle-track
system, is critical to ensuring safe and economical operation of modern railways. As the …

Higher train speeds and heavier axle loads trigger elevated stresses and vibrations in the
track, potentially increasing track deterioration rates and maintenance costs. Alternative …

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 …

Abstract Model testing in laboratory, as an effective alternative to field measurement,
provides valuable data to understand railway׳ s dynamic behaviors under train moving …

This study theoretically investigated the dynamic responses of a multilayered half-space
subjected to a spatially periodic harmonic moving load using the direct stiffness method …

A model is developed for predicting ground vibrations due to vertical track irregularities. This
model incorporates vehicles, a track and a layered ground, and uses the moving axle loads …

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 …

A popular method used to reduce vibration transmitted from underground railways into
nearby buildings is floating-slab track, whereby a concrete slab supporting the two rails is …

This paper deals with the effectiveness of a floating slab track for the control of ground-borne
vibrations generated by rail transportation systems. The effectiveness is studied by means of …
