Wheel–rail impact and the dynamic forces at discrete supports of rails in the presence of singular rail surface defects

Last updated on 15 August 2014 4:24

A validated three-dimensional (3D) transient finite element model is used to evaluate the wheel–rail impact at singular rail surface defects and the resulted high-frequency dynamic forces at the discrete supports of the rail. A typical ballasted railway track is modeled, in which the supports of the rail are composed of...
