Control of Wave Reflection-Induced Rail Corrugation and Associated Rolling Noise on High-Elastic Fastener Tracks

Applied Sciences
Short-pitch rail corrugation is prevalent on metro tracks with high-elastic fasteners and is closely linked to rolling noise. Field measurements show that the in situ pass-by noise reaches its maximum in the 600 Hz–1 kHz range.
