2. 21. Rail Corrugation Growth on Curves

   Author : Peter Torstensson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; simulation; track and wheelset structural flexibility; small radius curves; short-pitch rail corrugation; dynamic vehicle–track interaction; test rig and field measurements; wear;

   Abstract : Short-pitch rail corrugation that may develop on the low (inner) rail on small radius curves causes increased noise and vibration levels on railway networks worldwide. In lack of a generally applicable treatment, track authorities are forced to run expensive rail grinding programs on a regular basis to manage these problems. READ MORE

4. 22. Engineering model for curve squeal formulated in the time domain

   Author : Ivan Zenzerovic; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; tangential point-contact model; time domain; frictional instability; Curve squeal; rolling contact; non- Hertzian contact;

   Abstract : Curve squeal is a type of railway noise that may arise when a railway vehicle negotiates a relatively tight curve. Squeal is common in curves of a radius lower than 200 meters. A single frequency dominates the radiated sound, which makes squeal a very tonal noise. READ MORE

5. 23. Modelling and laboratory investigations on freight wagon link suspensions with respect to vehicle-track dynamic interaction

   Author : Per-Anders Jönsson; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; railway; freight wagon; running gear; link suspension; laboratory test; ; Other engineering mechanics; Övrig teknisk mekanik;

   Abstract : The link suspension is the most prevailing suspension system for freight wagons in central and western Europe. The system design is simple and has existed for more than 100 years. However, still its characteristics are not fully understood. READ MORE

6. 24. Computational Railway Dynamics - Integrated Train - Track - Subgrade Modeling and Simulations

   Author : Håkan Lane; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : The primary objective of the thesis has been to extend the capabilities for computational modeling, prediction and simulation of the elastic response of the train, track structure and soil in railway systems. The industrial background is the high level of ground borne vibrations reported from citizens as a consequence of train traffic (in particular from high speed trains) in several Swedish locations.

7. 25. Simulation of track settlement in railway turnouts-An iterative approach

   Author : Xin Li; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; track settlement; Railway switch and crossing; cyclic loading; visco-plasticity; vehicle‒track interaction; 3D finite element analysis; granular material; ballast;

   Abstract : In this thesis, a methodology for simulation of track settlement in railway turnouts (switches andcrossings, S&C) is presented. The methodology predicts the accumulated settlement for a given setof traffic loads using an iterative and cross-disciplinary procedure. READ MORE
