Floating Track Slab Systems for Reducing Ground- Borne Noise and Vibration from Rail Vehicles
نویسنده
چکیده
This investigation explores both the theoretical and empirical modelling of the dynamic performance of floating slab track systems used for reducing groundborne noise and vibration from rail transit systems. Accurately predicting the performance of floating slab track systems is important to the success of a new rail project. In general it has been observed that analytical and numerical models tend to over-predict the performance. An empirical approach to characterizing the dynamic performance of floating slab track is explored. The results of this approach are compared to a theoretical model and the measured data.

Dynamic Response of the Coupled Vehicle-Floating Slab Track System using Finite Element Method
In present study, a mathematical model of the vehicle–floating slab track (FST) interaction is established to investigate the coupled behaviour of vehicle–track system. The FST is modelled as the double Euler -Bernoulli beam including the rail and slab. The railway vehicle is simplified as a multi-rigid-body model. The wheel–rail interface is treated using a nonlinear Hertzian contact model, co...

Ground-borne vibration excited by metro traffic is becoming a more and more important problem for the rapidly developing transport system in urban areas and increasing public concern about environmental problems. In order to attenuate the vibration influence down to an acceptable level, floating slab track have been applied worldwide on metro line. An analytical dynamic model is employed in thi...
متن کاملEffect of Rail Corrugation on the Amount of Train Induced Vibrations near a Historical Building
The evaluation and control of the trains induced vibrations needs even more attention in the case of underground tracks which passes near to monuments and historical sites. The rail corrugations which occur due to the wheels’ impulse loads during the operation period of underground railway tracks, usually amplify the ground borne noise and vibration. In the current study, the mentioned phenomen...

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...
متن کاملRail System Noise and Vibration Control
Control of noise and vibration emitted by steel wheel and rail transportation systems has a long history of designs and techniques, some of which were dismal failures and some which worked very well. Many of the early efforts had a valid technical base for the design, however, there were also many based on intuition or ideas with great expectations, but which had no real technical basis. In the...
