Abstract: In order to investigate the derailment mechanism and safety operation area of high-speed trains under earthquake, a coupled vehicle-track dynamic model considering earthquake effect is developed, ...

Abstract: Table 2 was inadvertently replaced in the published version of the paper with Table 1. The online version of the paper has been updated to include the correct Table 2, and the table is ...

Abstract: The effect of disabled fastening systems and ballast on railway vehicle derailment is investigated by developing a nonsymmetrical coupled vehicle/track model. In the model a half passenger car ...

Abstract: A finite element analysis with the implementation of an advanced cyclic plasticity theory was conducted to study the elastic-plastic deformation under the nonsteady state rolling contact between ...
