Evaluation of railpad property on impact force

Last updated on 22 February 2013 2:23

The vertical impact force generated between the wheel and rail is known as a principal cause of track deterioration and noise/vibration. It is thought that making track modulus low is effective to weaken this impact force and its transmission to subgrade. Therefore, many countermeasures of doing it were attempted so...
