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

Integrating Dynamics and Wear Modelling to Predict Railway Wheel Profile Evolution [PDF]
The aim of the work described was to predict wheel profile evolution by integrating multi-body dynamics simulations of a wheelset with a wear model. The wear modelling approach is based on a wear index commonly used in rail wear predictions.

A comparison of bearing life in new and refurbished railway axle boxes [PDF]
A simple linear dynamical model shows that at normal running speeds of freight wagons, forced oscillations due to periodic track compliance are transferred to the overlying unsprung mass and significantly amplified. Due to these oscillations, a small gap
