Keep Up with Advancements in the Field of Rail Vehicle Design A thorough understanding
of the issues that affect dynamic performance, as well as more inventive methods for …

It is generally considered that a Timoshenko beam is superior to an Euler-Bernoulli beam for
determining the dynamic response of beams at higher frequencies but that they are …

In this paper, the influence of modeling the fastening with solid railpads on the vertical
dynamics of railway tracks with monoblock sleepers is investigated. A 3D finite element (FE) …

A singular rail or wheel surface irregularity, such as a squat, insulation joint or wheel flat, can
cause large wheel-rail impact force. Both the magnitude and frequency content of the impact …

The dynamic properties of a railway track are important for both the generation of rolling
noise and the development of rail corrugation. A conventional track consists of long rails …

Rail pads are important components in railway tracks that greatly influence the vehicle-track
interactions. A vehicle-track vertically coupled dynamics model that considers the distributed …

Prediction of vibrations generated by railway traffic experiences an increasing interest, as
new lines are being constructed and planned in many countries. The paper proposes a …

Single-track railway bridges are susceptible of experiencing high levels of vertical
acceleration on the deck that may be dangerously accentuated at resonance. This is …

This paper investigates the vertical dynamic behavior of railway tracks with monoblock
sleepers. Whole-and half-track finite element (FE) models are presented in which the rails …

This paper introduces a new parallel co-simulation method to study vehicle-track dynamic
interactions. The new method uses the transmission control protocol/internet protocol …
