Fundamentals of noise and vibration analysis for engineers

A review is presented of dynamic modelling of railway track and of the interaction of vehicle and track at frequencies which are sufficiently high for the track's dynamic behaviour to be significant. Since noise is one of the most important consequences of wheel/rail interaction at high frequencies, the maximum frequency of interest is about 5kHz: the limit of human hearing. The topic is reviewed both historically and in particular with reference to the application of modelling to the solution of practical problems. Good models of the rail, the sleeper and the wheelset are now available for the whole frequency range of interest. However, it is at present impossible to predict either the dynamic behaviour of the railpad and ballast or their long term behaviour. This is regarded as the most promising area for future research.

In the first part of this paper, the transmission of bending and torsional waves on beams forming + or T‐shaped systems is investigated. Then, the propagation of two different wave types, such as bending and longitudinal or torsional waves, on beams with periodic discontinuities is studied theoretically. Finally, the results are applied to the vibrations of grillages.
