A Dynamic Model of Ballasted Rail Track with Bituminous Sub-Ballast Layer [PDF]
Procedia, Social and Behavioral Sciences, 2012 The bituminous sub-ballast layer within the ballasted rail track allows some mechanical and environmental advantages. An analytical model of a ballasted rail track with sub-ballast layer has been proposed by considering the rail as viscous-elastic ...

Mechanical properties of foamed polyurethane solidified ballasted track
High-speed Railway, 2023 Foamed Polyurethane Solidified Ballasted Track (FPSBT), an innovative railway track, is formed by solidifying ballast bed with foamed polyurethane. Compared with the traditional Discrete Ballasted Track (DBT), FPSBT does not require regular maintenance ...

Remediation of mud pumping on a ballasted railway track [PDF]
Procedia Engineering, 2016 Maintenance of ballasted railway tracks is a major cost for railway infrastructure owners. In many developed countries, much of the railway infrastructure is mature and was built for service requirements long since superseded.

Sleeper end resistance of ballasted railway tracks [PDF]
Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 2014 This paper describes model tests used to investigate how ballast shoulder width and height contribute to a railway sleeper’s resistance to lateral movement for a range of shoulder widths and heights.

Thermal buckling of ballasted tangent track [PDF]
Advances in Mechanical Engineering, 2020 Euler type analysis usually used for compression members in structural engineering does not work for railroad track. Euler type analytical formulas for horizontal and vertical buckling endorsed in a recent literature is reviewed to demonstrate its ...

DEM Analysis of Track Ballast for Track Ballast–Wheel Interaction Simulation [PDF]
Applied Sciences, 2020 This study aims to suggest a rational analysis method for a track ballast–wheel interaction that could be further developed to model the interaction in a train-derailment event, based on the discrete-element method (DEM). Track ballast is filled with gravel to form the trackbed.

Wheel Flats in the Dynamic Behavior of Ballasted and Slab Railway Tracks
Applied Sciences, 2021 Wheel flats induce high-impact loads with relevance for the safety of the vehicle in operation as they can contribute to broken axles, hot axle boxes, and damaged rolling bearings and wheels. The high loads also induce damage in the track components such
