Train running safety is a major concern among railway engineers, since a derailment may
cause significant personal and material damages. This problem becomes more important if …

Flexible demand management for residential load scheduling, which considers constraints,
such as load operating time window and order between them, is a key aspect in demand …

Railways are one of the most important means of transportation, allowing people and goods
to move quickly, environmentally beneficially, and efficiently over long distances. To ensure …

With the continuous development of high-speed railway technology, there are higher
expectations for train operation and running safety. Shear failure is the main form of damage …

Passenger riding comfort is a major concern in railways, particularly in high-speed (HS)
networks due its strict requirements. Both the track and vehicle conditions may influence the …

The aim of the present study consists of evaluating the influence of the most relevant
geometric, mechanical and aerodynamic vehicle properties in the risk of derailment caused …

An enhancement in the wheel–rail contact model used in a nonlinear vehicle–structure
interaction (VSI) methodology for railway applications is presented, in which the detection of …

This article presents an efficient methodology for the calibration and validation of a
numerical model of a freight wagon based on a dynamic test under real operation …

The applied mechanical modeling of train and bridge structures is essential in accurately
predicting structural vibrations caused by high-speed trains, particularly for the often design …

Deterministic safety curves of safe train running speeds versus mean wind speeds (MWSs)
have been studied in the time domain, considering the train-bridge interaction (TBI) …
