Beam on elastic foundation theory is widely employed when studying railway track
behaviour, for applications such as track dynamics, and noise and vibration. At a basic level …

Railway transportation is one of the most advantageous modes of transportation because of
its high capacity, which obviates the increasing demand for conveying passengers and …

Railway track transition zones are areas where there is a sudden change in the track-ground
structure. They include changes between ballasted and slab track, bridge approaches, and …

Geomaterials exhibit elastoplastic behaviour during dynamic and repeated loading
conditions. These loads are induced by the passage of a train or vehicle which then …

A methodology for the simulation of long-term differential track settlement, the development
of voided sleepers leading to a redistribution of rail seat loads, and the evolving irregularity …

Differential settlement of ballast and subgrade is a common issue in ballasted railway tracks.
In transition zones between two different track forms, such as between a ballasted track and …

Rubber mats are widely used as a common vibration reduction material in urban rail transit
and high-speed railway, due to its excellent technical characteristics. At the transition zones …

Railway track transitions are zones where there is an abrupt change in the track-ground
structure. They are often the location of rapid track deterioration, which means more frequent …

Railway track transition zones are characterised by an abrupt change in track support
stiffness, which increases dynamic wheel loads and leads to the acceleration of differential …

To ensure railway operations safe, track geometry parameters, eg, track gauge, are usually
inspected using track geometry cars. The measurement frequency of track geometry cars is …
