  2. 1. Railway Track Stiffness : Dynamic Measurements and Evaluation for Efficient Maintenance

    Author : Eric Berggren; Mats Berg; Laurent Schmitt; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Railway track stiffness; maintenance; soil dynamics; measurement; simulation; vibration; Vehicle engineering; Farkostteknik;

    Abstract : Railway track stiffness (vertical track load divided by track deflection) is a basic parameter oftrack design which influences the bearing capacity, the dynamic behaviour of passing vehiclesand, in particular, track geometry quality and the life of track components. Track stiffness is abroad topic and in this thesis some aspects are treated comprehensively. READ MORE

  4. 2. 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

  6. 4. Wheel–Rail Impact Loads and Track Settlement in Railway Crossings

    Author : Xin Li; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; vehicle--track dynamics; wheel--rail contact; track settlement; material modelling of ballast; Switches and crossings; turnout; cyclic loading; Green s functions;

    Abstract : Turnouts (Switches & Crossings, S&C) are critical components of a railway track requiring regular maintenance and generating high life cycle costs. A main driver for the high maintenance costs is the need to repair and replace switch rails and crossings as these components are subjected to a severe load environment. READ MORE

  7. 5. Simulation of vertical dynamic interaction between railway vehicle and slab track

    Author : Emil Aggestam; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; transition zones; genetic algorithm; dynamic vehicle–track interaction; Slab track; modelling; ballasteless track;

    Abstract : The usage of slab track for high-speed railway lines has increased in recent decades. In Sweden, the building of new railway lines for higher speed and the selection of track design for such lines are currently being debated. READ MORE
