Mechanical Characteristics of Ballast Bed under Dynamic Stabilization Operation Based on Discrete Element and Experimental Approaches

open access: yesShock and Vibration, 2021
To study the mechanical characteristics of ballasted bed under dynamic stability, a three-dimensional discrete element model of ballasted bed with 1000 mm × 700 mm × 550 mm is established based on the discrete element method. Meanwhile, a simulation test

Dynamic effect of high speed railway traffic loads on the ballast track settlement [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The traditional ballast track structures are still being used in high speed railways lines with success, however technical problems or performance features have led to non-ballast track solution in some cases.

Fully three-dimensional analysis of high-speed traintracksoil-structure dynamic interaction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
In this paper, a general and fully three dimensional multi-body-finite element-boundary element model, formulated in the time domain to predict vibrations due to train passage at the vehicle, the track and the free field, is presented.

Enabling Under Ice Glider Operations: A Backseat Driver Approach

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Polar Oceans are key locations for forcing global ocean circulation, influencing both global climate and biogeochemical cycles. Due to restricted access to these seasonally and perennially ice‐covered regions, these areas are severely undersampled.

Track Modulus Assessment of Engineered Interspersed Concrete Sleepers in Ballasted Track

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
Ballasted railway track is typically constructed using sleepers that are manufactured from a common material type within a given length of track. Timber and concrete are the two most common sleeper materials used internationally. Evidence from historical

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.

Multi‐level fatigue reliability assessment of reinforced concrete railway bridges

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper presents a multi‐level reliability framework for assessing the fatigue life of reinforced concrete (RC) railway trough bridges subjected to cyclic loading. The framework incorporates increasing levels of analytical complexity and real‐world data in four steps. First, an analytical model applies S–N curves and the Palmgren–Miner rule

Dynamic Wheel-Rail Force-Based Track-Irregularity Evaluation for Ballasted Track on Serviced Railway by Adjacent Excavation

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
This study investigates a load-based, track-irregularity-analysis technique for ballasted tracks on a serviced railway line with respect to excavation work conducted in adjacent sites.

Mooring and ground handling rigid airships [PDF]

open access: yes, 1975
The problems of mooring and ground handling rigid airships are discussed. A brief history of Mooring and Ground Handling Rigid Airships from July 2, 1900 through September 1, 1939 is included.

Moving element analysis of high-speed rail system accounting for hanging sleepers

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
It is very common in the ballasted track system that sleepers are not well supported by the ballast materials due to the uneven settlement of the ballast under repeated train passage.
