Noise and Vibration of Resiliently Supported Track Slabs [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1973
In this paper the dynamic response, vibration isolation, and sound radiation of a resiliently supported track slab are analyzed. An analytical model is investigated which views railroad rails as beams fastened elastically to a slab which is resiliently mounted to a substructure. The slab is assumed to be a plate of finite width and infinite length. The

Changes in Material Properties and Damage Mechanism of Plate Ballastless Track Under Fire and High Temperature

open access: yesBuildings
The service status of rail, fasteners and track slabs is the key determinant of whether the ballastless track is ready for traffic after a fire. The track slab rail support bolt anchoring performance and the shoulder service performance damaged by fire ...

Latitudinal dependence of wind-induced near-inertial energy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Mid-latitude storms, accounting for the majority of wind energy input to near-inertial motions in the ocean, are known to shift their track significantly from one year to another.

Impermeable membranes for slab-track settlement mitigation [PDF]

open access: yesEnvironmental Geotechnics, 2018
A series of numerical simulations is used to explore the effect of the geometrical disposition of impermeable membranes in the overall performance of slab-track railway earthworks, with particular reference to the generation of settlement during several years of exposure to the atmosphere and the admissibility of these post-construction deformations ...

Gas-Phase Lubrication of ta-C by Glycerol and Hydrogen Peroxide. Experimental and Computer Modeling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Tetrahedrally coordinated hydrogen-free amorphous diamond-like carbon coating (denoted as ta-C) presents ultralow friction under boundary lubrication conditions at 80 °C in presence of OH-containing molecules.

Polarimetry of cosmic gamma-ray sources above e+e- pair creation threshold

open access: yes, 2013
We examine the potential for gamma-ray conversion to electron-positron pairs, either in the field of a nucleus or of an electron of a detector, to measure the fraction P of linear polarization of cosmic gamma sources.

The need and benefit of slab track: case of Lithuania

open access: yesGrađevinar, 2017
Slab track structures have been used in the world for several decades now. However, the ballasted track is still much more popular compared to slab track structures, which is primarily due to its lower price. This article reviews and analyses development

Fracture Modeling of the Bi-Block Ballastless Track System Resulting from Early-Aged Relative Humidity during the Construction Process

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2021
Drying-induced cracks are an important issue for bi-block ballastless track system consisting of foundation, precast sleepers, and cast-in-place track slab, which not only significantly affects the comfortableness and safety of rapid transit railway but ...
