Influences of Railway Track Geometry Parameters on Ground-Borne Vibration

One of the most important challenges in the development of urban railways network is the effects of railway vibrations on human and adjacent structures. Although various investigations into the sources of railway vibrations have been conducted, very few research works have been reported on the influences of track geometry parameters on the level of vibrations. This is addressed in this resea...

Modelling Scheme for Railway Vehicle/track/ground Dynamic Interaction in the Time Domain

Modelling of vehicle/track/ground dynamic interaction is an important issue for railway design. Better understanding of how the moving dynamic loads are distributed through the track components to the ground can be derived from these numerical results to improve the stability of the moving train and decrease the cost of the maintenance. Nonlinear models of the ground may be required due to the ...

On the theory of railway-induced ground vibrations

In the present paper, the theory of generation of ground vibrations by moving train is considered. The theory takes into account contribution of each sleeper of the track subjected to the action of all wheel axles. Mechanical properties of the track and parameters of train and soil (including static contact nonlinearity of track-soil system) are taken into account. It is shown that generated gr...
