Analysis of the Influence of Cracked Sleepers under Static Loading on Ballasted Railway Tracks
The principal causes of cracking in prestressed concrete sleepers are the dynamic loads induced by track irregularities and imperfections in the wheel-rail contact and the in-phase and out-of-phase track resonances. The most affected points are the mid-span and rail-seat sections of the sleepers. Central and rail-seat crack detection require visual inspections, as legislation establishes, and i...
متن کاملAutomating condition monitoring of wooden railway sleepers
68 October 2007 EngineerIT This article aims to automate such intuitive human skills for future sleeper inspections. Pattern recognition has been proposed for classification and results from sensors based on the abovementioned methods were fused to generate a single output condition. Final results achieved in this work indicate an overall classification rate of around 88% compared to the human ...
متن کاملImpacts of Wheel–rail at Railway Turnouts
Investigation of vertical vibrations of a railway turnout is important in designing track components under moving loads of trains. In this paper, the turnout is simulated by a linear finite element model with modal damping. A section of the turnout has a length of 36 sleeper spans surrounding the crossing. Rails and sleepers are modeled with uniform Rayleigh-
Timoshenko beam elements. The ra...
متن کاملEmbedding Wireless Sensors in Railway Sleepers
In recent years there has been intensive research and development in the application of wireless sensor network (WSN) technologies to various sectors such as healthcare, home automation, environmental monitoring and the monitoring of large structures, eg, buildings and bridges. The monitoring of railway infrastructure such as the tracks, bearers and sleepers is another area that could potential...
