Novel Dynamic Instantaneous–Integral Fusion Event‐Triggered Control of Networked Non‐Linear Rail Vehicle Active Suspension

IET Control Theory &Applications, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
This paper investigates dynamic instantaneous‐integration event‐triggered control for networked non‐linear rail vehicle suspension systems over the train communication network (TCN). The primary goal is to ensure the desired suspension performance while efficiently utilizing the train communication network (TCN) resources.

Parallel computing aided analyses of dynamic buckling for railway track infrastructure

Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Volume 40, Issue 19, Page 2943-2968, 5 August 2025.
Abstract This paper presents a scalable parallel computing framework for simulating track buckling under dynamic train loads, enabling large‐scale railway track stability analysis. A three‐dimensional (3D) track model is developed using finite element‐based Euler–Bernoulli beam formulations for rails, dynamic force inputs, and nonlinear interactions at

An Innovative Procedure for the Rolling Noise Evaluation [PDF]

, 2016
Noise is often generated by pressure changes in the air induced by mechanical vibrations. The study of these phenomena is known as structural acoustics or, in a more fashionable way, virboacoustics.

High‐Entropy Energy for Self‐Powered Systems

SmartSys, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2025.
ABSTRACT In energy constrained application scenarios, self‐powered systems (SPSs) are gradually emerging as a core technological pathway for enabling distributed intelligent sensing. High‐entropy energy, such as micro‐wind, vibrations, water motion, and human activity, is widely available but difficult to harness due to its low density, randomness, and

Rail Corrugation Detection of High-Speed Railway Using Wheel Dynamic Responses

Shock and Vibration, 2019
Rail corrugation often occurs on the high-speed railway, which will affect ride comfort and even the train operation safety in severe condition. Detection of rail corrugation wavelength and depth is absolutely essential for maintenance and safety.

They put me on a train: Assimilation and the Australian railways

Geographical Research, Volume 63, Issue 2, Page 249-259, May 2025.
This article explores the South Australian railways’ involvement in the forcible removal of Aboriginal children from their families and homes. It gives close attention to the artwork and words of First Nations peoples who were taken away from their families by train under the Australian government policy of Assimilation. A key finding is that while the
