3-D finite element model of the rail including an elastic foundation

Last updated on 02 September 2014 3:40

A three dimensional finite element analysis (FEA) model of the rail structure including ties and elastic foundation is developed. The model can calculate stresses in an entire rail for given geometry of rail structure and material properties. Using the results obtained from this 3-D FEA model, stress distribution can be...
