In order to understand dynamic effect of the unsupported sleepers on railway substructure at
the meso-macroscopic scales, this paper develops a dynamics analysis framework …

In this study, a dynamics analysis framework combining the multi-body dynamics method
(MBD) and the discrete element method (DEM) capable of accounting for sleeper …

Rail spalling is a typical form of wheel-rail rolling contact fatigue (RCF), and is a difficult
problem that has always existed in railways. Once the wheel rolls across the spalling failure …

Modelling wheel-rail interaction at short-wave irregularities is an important issue under the
context of vehicle-track system dynamics for analyzing and preventing severe impact. The …

To reveal the influence of differential deterioration of random irregularity at different
wavelengths on train safety. Based on the vehicle-track coupling dynamics and the …

A new approach for solving three-dimensional elasto-plastic wheel-rail normal contact
problems is presented, which is used to obtain the normal contact pressure distribution in …
