Abstract: Considering the viscoelastic property of railway track structure, it is suggested in this paper to include the influence of track dynamics in calculation of lateral stability of railway vehicles ...

Abstract: Considering the real irregular shapes of ballast particles and complete track skeleton, a two-dimensional discrete element model is built to investigate the dynamic behavior of high-speed railway (HSR) ballasted track. ...

Abstract: Hanging sleepers, which result from the differential settlement of the ballast layer, are a prevalent issue that leads to the rapid degradation of track components that include the ballast, sleeper, fastener, and rail. A ...
