In this paper, a computational approach based on numerical dissipation is proposed to
simulate rocking blocks. A rocking block is idealized as a solid body interacting with its …

Computational structural dynamics plays an essential role in the simulation of linear and
nonlinear systems. Indeed, the characteristics of the time integration procedure have a …

It is well-known that in order to decrease displacements and accelerations in a frame
structure during earthquakes, purely viscous dampers can be effectively employed, allowing …

In order to realize the visual identification of the three-dimensional geometric characteristics
of rail corrugation, the three-dimensional reconstruction method of rail corrugation based on …

Nonlinear dynamic aspects of a rectangular simply supported sandwich plate with a central
penny-shaped debonded zone subjected to harmonic loading have been studied by using …

In this work, the effect of the grooved elastic damping component on the friction-induced
vibration is investigated by using both experimental and numerical analysis. Experimental …

Fatigue‐induced clip fractures are the most common type of damage in railway systems, and
they are exacerbated by rail corrugation. This research investigated the development of rail …

Two dynamic models of a wheel set–track system on a tight curved track and on a straight
track are established, in which the friction coupling between the wheel and rail is taken into …

Abstract The eXtended Finite Element Method is a partition of unity based method,
particularly suitable for modelling crack propagation phenomena, without knowing a priori …

Rail corrugation is very serious in Cologne egg fastener track; effective control measures are
still lacking. The cause of the corrugation wear on a curved metro track is analyzed based on …
