Railway accidents, particularly serious derailments, can lead to catastrophic consequences.
Therefore, it is essential to prevent derailment escalation to reduce the likelihood of severe …

This paper summarizes the research on passive safety of rail vehicles from the perspective
of Crash Energy Management (CEM) in recent decades, which covers the analysis of main …

With the increasing speed of railway vehicles, deciding how to reasonably distribute impact
energy to each vehicle has been a widespread concern in safety protection systems. This …

A method of collaborative simulation of the train collision process using a rigid motion model
and a flexible collision model is proposed to solve the problem of the low computational …

Transition zones in railway tracks are the locations with considerable changes in the vertical
support structures. Typically, they are located near engineering structures, such as bridges …

When an earthquake causes the wheel-rail detachment of a high-speed train, the derailment
evaluation criteria based on wheel-rail force faces failure. At this time, the lateral relative …

Derailments on bridges, although not frequent, when occurs due to a complex dynamic
interaction of the train–track–bridge structural system, are very severe. Furthermore, the …

As the application of energy-absorption structure reaches an unprecedented scale in both
academia and industry, a reflection upon the state-of-the-art developments in the …

High-speed train may collide with many obstacles, which can cause serious occupant injury.
This study aims to investigate the dynamic characteristic of occupant during the frontal …

Periodic deviation of the diameter of wheel across its circumference is referred to as the out-
of-round (OOR) defect that can cause significant damages to wheel–rail interface, affect the …
