Railway accidents, particularly serious derailments, can lead to catastrophic consequences.
Therefore, it is essential to prevent derailment escalation to reduce the likelihood of severe …

In rail transportation structural parameter design, multi-objective optimal algorithms
(MOOAs) have advanced significantly in safety, comfort, and aerodynamics domain …

Wheel flange climb derailment of vehicles in railway turnouts is a serious safety issue. In
particular, derailment accidents in smaller turnouts, caused by poor track alignment before …

This paper systematically reviews the research progress, problems, specific
countermeasures, and development trends of dynamic design theory as applied to high …

Worldwide objectives for railway vehicles are increased capacity, faster travels and higher
levels of safety. In the vehicle-track complex system, assessing and controlling the …

The beam-end expansion device of a large-span bridge is critical equipment for relieving
temperature stress and also a weak point. In this paper, a detailed analysis of the expansion …

Train derailments are frequently reported during the long-term operation of the freight
wagons. With this consideration, this paper aims to combine 3D quasi-static derailment …

This paper presents a multibody model of the post-derailment dynamics of a railway vehicle
and its impact with a derailment containment wall (DCW) built aside the line and …

Wheel climb derailment frequently occurs in turnouts. This is usually because track
alignments in the turnout area are very poor and the cross-sections of switch rail are not …

Train derailments may have catastrophic consequences, and therefore suitable measures
should be designed and installed at specific safety-relevant sites to mitigate their effects …
