Train derailments in low-speed railway turnout areas are very common due to poor track
alignment and rail failures, and in extreme cases can lead to casualties and damage to …

To improve the utilization of land resources, in recent years, there has been an increase in
the design and construction of over-track buildings in metro depots in China. However, there …

An improved method for simulation of the transient wheel-rail rolling contact (WRRC) was
proposed. A 3D implicit/explicit finite element (FE) model was established to calculate the …

This paper proposes a new hypothesis for the formation process of short pitch rail
corrugation. An FE wheel-track dynamic model is utilized to verify the hypothesis by …

Short pitch corrugation is a quasi-periodic rail defect that induces a high level of noise and
accelerates track degradation. This paper proposes a methodology to mitigate short pitch …

Resonances of wheel and rail due to their interactions play an important role in the formation
of irregular wear of wheel and rail profiles, which is the main cause of vibration and noise …

Short pitch corrugation has been a problem for railways worldwide over one century. In this
paper, a parametric investigation of fastenings is conducted to understand the corrugation …

The cause and treatment of rail corrugation for the metro have always been a popular and
challenging issue. In this work, the field measurements were carried out on rail corrugation …

In the present study on rail corrugation, a field investigation is carried out on a typical section
of a Steel-spring Floating Slab Track (SFST) in the Beijing subway for studying the two …

A growing number of studies have demonstrated the effectiveness and superiority of reverse
engineering in using axle box vibration acceleration signals to deduce the operation state of …
