Beam on elastic foundation theory is widely employed when studying railway track
behaviour, for applications such as track dynamics, and noise and vibration. At a basic level …

This paper is a review of the effect of vehicle characteristics on ground-and track borne-
vibrations from railways. It combines traditional theory with modern thinking and uses a …

This paper reviews, synthesises and benchmarks new understandings relating to railway
vibrations. Firstly, the effect of vibrations on passenger comfort is evaluated, followed by its …

Vibration and noise aspects play a relevant role in the lifetime and comfort of urban areas
and their residents. Among the different sources, the one coming from the rail transit system …

There is a great need to develop rail networks over long distances and within cities as more
sustainable transport options. However, noise and vibration are seen as a negative …

A field measurement of ground vibration was performed on the Beijing− Shanghai high-
speed railway in China. In this paper, the experimental results of vertical ground vibration …

In this paper, a numerical approach for the prediction of vibrations induced in buildings due
to railway traffic in tunnel is proposed. The numerical method is based on a sub-structuring …

Railway tracks experience stress during train passage. Understanding these subgrade
stresses is essential for the design of track foundations and assessing their serviceability …

A three dimensional numerical model is presented capable of modelling the propagation
and transmission of ground vibration in the vicinity of high speed railways. It is used to …

The first part of the paper includes a brief presentation of a 2.5 D FEM-BEM model,
developed by the authors, which is able to lead with problems of vibrations induced by traffic …
