Abstract: An efficient and accurate model for the dynamic assessment of vehicle-track behavior subjected to cross wind actions is developed in this paper, where the wind–vehicle–track interaction is regarded as a coupled vibration ...

Abstract: Various vibration-attenuating slab tracks have been introduced into urban railways to minimize the negative effects of train-induced ground vibration and noise. However, compared with traditional slab tracks, vibration-attenuating ...

Abstract: The dynamic vehicle–track interactions are complex processes due to the highly nonlinear terms and spatially varying excitations in vehicle design, track maintenance, dynamic prediction, etc. Therefore, it is of importance ...

Abstract: Wear problems of wheel/rail systems occurring on the Chinese high-speed railway network in the last decade are summarized and explained together with the corresponding experience of treating them. Focus is placed on uneven ...

Abstract: The locomotive wheelsets configured with high-power AC traction motors are very prone to slip under poor friction conditions, which usually impair traction/braking efficiency. To avoid the adverse consequence caused by the ...
