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 …

High-speed railways are very important in global transportation. However, the railway
subgrade is significantly affected by the environment due to its exposure to the atmosphere …

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 …

This paper provides new insights into the characteristics and uncertainties in railway ground-
borne vibration prediction. It analyses over 1500 ground-borne vibration records, at 17 high …

Due to recent congestion of highways in many countries around the world, railways have
become the most popular means of public transportation, which has increased the demand …

The responses of railway tracks are significantly amplified when the high-speed train travels
around the speed of waves propagating in underlying soils. The dynamic amplification …

When high speed trains travel close to the wave propagation velocity of the supporting track-
ground system, large amplitude track deflections are generated. This has safety implications …

Rail fastening system plays an important role in safety of railway tracks. Despite proven
nonlinear mechanical behavior of this system, it has been simulated as a linear spring …

This paper uses a sensitivity analysis to quantify the dominant train properties (mass and
spacing of wheels and bogies) that contribute to ground-borne vibration generation, with the …
