3D Finite Element Analysis of Some Structural Modified PC Sleeper with the Vibration Characteristics between Sleeper and Ballast

Sleeper effects.

Early experience preserves and refines many capabilities that emerge prenatally. Here we describe another role that it plays -- establishing the neural substrate for capabilities that emerge at a much later point in development. The evidence comes from sleeper effects: permanent deficits when early experience was absent in capabilities that normally emerge long after birth. We provide evidence ...

investigation of apple vibration characteristics using finite element modal analysis

the most important quality indicator of fruits is the flesh firmness which is well correlated to their young’s modulus. in this research variation of vibration characteristics (shape modes, natural frequency) of apple due to change of material characteristics (density, young's models, poisson ratio) and apple volume was investigated using finite element simulation. an image processing technique...

An Experimental and Numerical Study on the Effect of Different Types of Sleepers on Track Lateral Resistance

Lateral resistance of railway track is one of the most important parameters in lateral stability. This parameter depends!on the conditions of different components of ballasted railway track (such as density of ballast layer, sleeper spacing, type of sleeper, etc.). From this perspective, type of sleeper has an important effect on lateral resistance. However in some conditions, in technical and ...

Static and Dynamic Analysis of Railway Track Sleeper

The increased speed and weight of modern trains puts the components of a railway track in a highly dynamic load situation. Irregularities of the wheels and rails induce substantial dynamic loads that have to be accounted for in the procedure of designing the railway track. The concrete sleeper is an essential part of the track structure and there is a growing demand for improved analytical tool...
