This paper introduces a new parallel co-simulation method to study vehicle-track dynamic
interactions. The new method uses the transmission control protocol/internet protocol …

Ground vibration generated by high speed trains is one of the major challenges in the
operation of high speed railway systems. The transit of high speed trains proximate to …

Transit of high-speed trains in ballasted railway tracks leads to generation and propagation
of ground vibrations onto buildings proximate to railway lines through the track embankment …

The ascending requirement of railway passengers for fast transit to distant stations has led to
the development of high-speed railway networks. Faster and longer trains with heavy axle …

Fastening systems play a significant role in railroad track dynamics. In this paper, three
approaches are investigated for rail fastenings modeling using FEM:(1) spring–damper pairs …

This paper examines the vibrations of a rail span (rail section between two consecutive
sleepers) during and after the passage of a rail car's wheel as well as under impact hammer …

Crossties failure and deterioration can cause major safety issues, including loss of gauge
and ability to properly support the rail. Thus, understanding tie degradation behavior is of …

Rolling noise predictions strongly depend on the theoretical models used. In this paper the
impact of modelling a whole wheelset instead of a stand-alone wheel will be assessed. The …

Understanding the deterioration behavior of crossties (also known as railroad ties or
sleepers) is of paramount importance due to the major safety concerns associated with their …

The growing demand for railway transportation leads to a need for modernization and
expansion of existing railway lines. Because the railway is experiencing changes, new trains …
