This paper describes a non-invasive inspection technique for the estimation of longitudinal
stress in continuous welded rails (CWR) to infer the rail neutral temperature (RNT), ie, the …

With more than 3,200 km of track, the Spanish high-speed rail network is the longest network
in Europe and the second largest in the world after China. Due to its geographical location in …

Recent advancements in both software and hardware have sparked the use of machine
learning (ML) in structural health monitoring (SHM) applications. This paper delves into the …

In service, railway tracks must withstand the transverse and longitudinal forces that are
caused by running vehicles and thermal loads. The mechanical design that adopts any of …

Background Continuous welded rails (CWR) are subjected to thermal effects that may lead
to buckling or fracture during warm or cold seasons, respectively. The modal characteristics …

This article presents a numerical formulation and the experimental validation of the dynamic
interaction between highly nonlinear solitary waves generated along a mono-periodic array …

In this study, a series of single-tie push tests were performed on biblock and monoblock
sleepers on a test track. In these tests, the variation of shoulder height and shoulder width …
