Energy Harvesting from Train Vibrations
An investigation is carried out into how much energy can be harvested from the vibration of a passing train using a mechanical oscillator. The harvested energy could be used, for example, to charge sensors mounted on the railway track for structural health monitoring. The dominant frequencies due to a passing train are determined for a specific train and speed from a recorded acceleration time-...
متن کاملModelling of ground-borne vibration when the train speed approaches the critical speed
When trains run on soft ground, large deflections of the track and vibration of the ground can occur when the train speed approaches the speed of Rayleigh waves in the ground. Modelling is helpful to understand and mitigate such critical velocity effects. Here, a three-dimensional time-domain model of a load moving on a track and ground has been developed in the finite element software ABAQUS. ...
متن کاملVibrations and re-radiated noise in buildings generated by surface high-speed train traffic
This paper deals with the numerical computation of the structural and acoustic response of a building to an incoming wave field generated by high-speed railway traffic at grade. The source model consists of the model of a moving vehicle on a longitudinally invariant domain coupled to a boundary element model of the underlying ground. The receiver model is based on a substructuring formulation a...
متن کاملEquidistant Spectral Lines in Train Vibrations
We analyze in detail the seismic vibrations generated by trains, measured at distance from the track with high sensitivity broadband sensors installed for the AlpArray project. The geometrical restrictions of the network resulted in a number of instruments deployed in the vicinity of railway lines. On seismic stations within 1.5 km of a railway, we observe characteristic seismic signals that we...
متن کاملA Robot Scorpion Using Ground Vibrations for Navigation*
Robotics can ·leam a lot by investigating simple and effective techniques evolved in biology. The sand scorpion that ·lives· in the Mojave Desert uses ground vibrations when locating. its prey. In this paper it is shown that a robot can be made to navigate using similar techniques. A six-legged robot was constructed and fitted with vibration sensors to try the concept. Such a robot could be use...
