SIMULATION DYNAMIC PROCESSES OF RAIL VEHICLE AND RAIL WITH IRREGULARITIES [PDF]
Journal of KONES. Powertrain and Transport, 2014 The work presents research of defective railway wheel and rail dynamics and mathematical model of system “Railway vehicle wheel – track”. An assumption was made that the Rail R–65 and railway wheel with flats are with unevenness. The aim of this investigation is to identify the contact forces resulting from the wheel/rail contact at the various defects.

Modelling blast loads in rail vehicles [PDF]
WIT Transactions on The Built Environment, 2012 The open, accessible and crowded nature of urban mass transit networks has attracted previous attacks in London, Madrid and other cities, and it is very difficult to prevent an attacker entering while retaining normal operation of the system. The research presented here contributes to the modelling capability needed to apply a ‘passive safety’ approach

WIT Transactions on The Built Environment, 2014 Manufacturers and owners of rolling stock must allow for ecological aspects when conducting their activities. One of the possibilities of reducing the negative impact of rolling stock on the environment is the proper disposal of the end-of-life rolling stock.

Dynanics of a vehicle-track coupling system at a rail joint
, 2015 The dynamic behaviour at a rail joint is examined using a two-dimensional vehicle–track coupling model. The track system is described as a finite-length beam resting on a double-layer discrete viscous-elastic foundation.

Integration of crosswind forces into train dynamic modelling [PDF]
, 2011 In this paper a new method is used to calculate unsteady wind loadings acting on a railway vehicle. The method takes input data from wind tunnel testing or from computational fluid dynamics simulations (one example of each is presented in this article ...
