Abstract: The present paper concludes via an analytical method to reduced formulae for determining the eigenfrequencies and eigenmodes of multi-span continuous beams with spans of different lengths and bending rigidities in a very easy and efficient way. The rigorous determination of eigenfrequencies and eigenmodes allows us to focus on the derivation of the time function for the forced vibrati...

ABSTRACT Many studies have been focused on the development of vibration source models, which comprise both the force applied on the track top and the vibration behaviour of the fixation system. Numerous researchers model the interaction between wheel and rail as a constant load moving along the track. Other authors consider a combination of harmonic and non-harmonic moving axle loads. Whereas m...
