  2. 1. Dynamic train/track interaction : hanging sleepers, track stiffness variations and track settlement

    Author : Andreas Lundqvist; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : Trains have been operating on ballasted tracks for over 150 years. During this time demands from the railway organisations and from the industry to increase axle loads and train speeds on the existing railway lines have increased. The reasons for this are both economial and environmental. READ MORE

  4. 2. Modelling and Simulation of Train-Track Interaction including Wear Prediction

    Author : Clas Andersson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; full-scale measurements; rail corrugation; substructuring; wheel-rail contact; multibody dynamics; dynamic train-track interaction; three-dimensional motion;

    Abstract : Many problems in railway traffic arise as a result of the dynamic interaction between rolling trains and tracks. The problems include both instantaneous effects due to induced vibrations of track and vehicle, and more long-term processes of a detrimental nature. READ MORE

  5. 3. Dynamic Train-Track Interaction: Linear and Non-Linear Track Models with Property Scatter

    Author : Johan Oscarsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; stochastic track properties; non-linear track properties; dynamic train-track interaction; Latin Hypercube; perturbation technique; full-scale and laboratory measurements;

    Abstract : A numerical method was developed to investigate the vertical dynamic behaviour of a railway track subjected to the loading of a moving train. The numerical simulations are carried out in the time-domain with what is known as a moving mass model. READ MORE

  6. 4. Modelling and simulation of general train/track interaction

    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : .... READ MORE

  7. 5. Dynamic Train/Track Interaction: Simulation of Railhead Corrugation Growth under a Moving Bogie Using Mathematical Models Combined with Full-Scale Measurements

    Author : Annika Igeland; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; railhead corrugation growth; railway and track irregularities; railway dynamics and measurements; train track interaction; complex-valued modal analysis;

    Abstract : Heavier trains and higher speeds have increased the need for high-quality tracks and vehicles in order to fulfill safety and environmental requests. The phenomena involved in dynamic train/track interaction lead to noise radiation, induce ground-borne vibrations and degrade the track structure and the railcar wheels. READ MORE
