A review of loading conditions for railway track structures due to train and track vertical interaction
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the typical characteristics of the loading conditions for railway track structures, in particular, impact loads due to the wheel/rail interaction, is presented, with particular emphasis on the typical shapes of the impact load waveforms generally found on railway tracks.

The use of elastic elements in railway tracks: A state of the art review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the problems associated with track stiffness, geometry degradation, and vibrations, and at the same time, studies the characteristics of elastic elements as well as the research carried out to test and evaluate their effectiveness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Progressive failure of prestressed concrete sleepers under multiple high-intensity impact loads
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of repeated impact tests for the in-situ prestressed concrete sleepers were carried out, ranging from a low drop height to the ultimate drop height where the ultimate failure occurred.

Field trials for dynamic characteristics of railway track and its components using impact excitation technique
TL;DR: In this article, an integrated approach combining field measurements, experimental modal analysis, and finite element modelling to evaluate the dynamic parameters of the in situ railway track components are appended.

The Dynamic Response of Railway Track With Flexible Sleepers to High Frequency Vertical Excitation
S L Grassie,S J Cox +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a model of railway track is presented which allows examination of the behaviour of the track support, and large sleeper strains are associated with poorly damped sleeper resonances.
