General and Technical Considerations for Implementing High Speed Rail Systems in Australia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Australia has a number of medium speed rail services such as the Prospector, which runs from East Perth to Kalgoorlie, at speeds of up to 160 km/hr. Speeds as high as 210 km/hr have been reached by the tilt train from Brisbane to Rockhampton.

The interaction between railway vehicle dynamics and track lateral alignment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Track geometry deteriorates with traffic flow, thus it needs to be regularly restored using tamping or other method. As the deterioration is mainly in the vertical direction this aspect has been widely studied and models for its analysis developed ...

Application of Polyurethane Polymer and Assistant Rails to Settling the Abnormal Vehicle-Track Dynamic Effects in Transition Zone between Ballastless and Ballasted Track

open access: yesShock and Vibration, 2015
This paper describes tests on a transition section between ballasted and ballastless tracks in the Liupanshui-Zhanyi railway in China. The originally unsettled transition zone is exposed to sudden car shaking and a series of track transition problems ...

The modelling of railway subgrade strengthening foundation on weak soils

open access: yesOpen Engineering, 2022
As a consequence of increased axle loads and speeds of trains on modernised railway lines, there may occur problems with bearing capacity and stability of the subgrade in some sections of the railway network.

Development of a Tram-Train wheel profile for dual-operation running [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
This paper explores the problematic interface between a Tram-Train vehicle and two very different railway infrastructures, detailing the analysis and design process required to develop an optimised wheel profile for dual operation running.

Scaling relationships for strip fibre reinforced aggregates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Previous research on random fibre-reinforced granular materials has shown that the relative dimensions of the grains and fibres significantly affect the macromechanical behaviour of the mixture.

Diagnostics of Track Quality of Ballastless Track and Transition Areas in Vicinity of Portals of Tunnel Turecky vrch

open access: yesCivil and Environmental Engineering, 2016
The paper deals with the partial results of diagnostics of experimental sections of ballastless track Rheda 2000® and transition areas between ballastless and ballasted track structure around portals of tunnel Turecky vrch after six measurement cycles ...

A time domain analysis of train induced vibrations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This paper is intended to show the robustness and capabilities of a coupled Boundary Element-Finite Element technique for the analysis of vibrations generated by high-speed trains under different geometrical, mechanical and operation conditions.
