Additive manufacturing technologies, well known as three-dimensional printing (3DP)
technologies, have been applied in many industrial fields, including aerospace …

The railway industry has shown a strong interest in utilizing sustainable materials, including
recycled materials and composites, in construction. Bamboo, as a highly renewable natural …

Track lateral stability is one of the most critical considerations for safe and reliable railway
infrastructures. With increasing exposures to high temperatures globally, a greater …

The Schoen I-graph-wrapped package (IWP) structures are recognized as one of the best
promising cellular structures because of their high specific mechanical properties and …

This paper investigates the possibility for implementing machine learning-aided prediction in
analyzing the buckling phenomena of ballasted railway tracks induced by extreme …

Differential railway track settlement can result in ballast voids, leading to sleepers that hang
from the rail and are no longer supported by the ballast. These hanging sleepers are …

The lateral resistance of ballast bed is an important parameter to prevent track expansion
and maintain track stability. The invasion of sand particles can cause the change of lateral …

Given the substantially increased demand for increased axle loads of heavy haul trains,
there is an imperative need to develop sustainable track infrastructure. When subjected to …

Ballast rheology is a phenomenon that describes movements of ballast particles due to the
discrete nature, which eventually leads to the ballast bed fluid deformation after a long-time …

A composite sleeper has a similar shape, stiffness, and weight to that of an existing wood
sleeper with additional benefits including excellent durability, extended design life like a …
