Rail Corrugation Growth on Curves

open access: yes, 2009
Short-pitch rail corrugation that may develop on the low (inner) rail on small radius curves causes increased noise and vibration levels on railway networks worldwide.

Localized Resonance Mechanism of Rail Corrugation and Active Suppression via Wheel–Rail Self-Grinding on Urban Express Line with Different Tracks

open access: yesApplied Sciences
The occurrence of short-wave corrugation with wavelengths of 32–44 mm on curved sections of urban express railway lines is particularly pronounced, yet the underlying initiation mechanisms have remained insufficiently understood.

Parallel computing aided analyses of dynamic buckling for railway track infrastructure

open access: yesComputer-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

High‐Entropy Energy for Self‐Powered Systems

open access: yesSmartSys, 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

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

open access: yesGeographical 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
