Study of the mechanical behaviour of the ballast using discrete approach

Last updated on 27 September 2013 3:02

Ballasted track is widely employed because of its mechanical properties and its flexibility. But the behavior of the track and its components, such as the ballast layer, are still a poorly understood phenomenon. The stakes are significant for SNCF: a better comprehension of the mechanisms involved would make it possible...
