Predicting and measuring vertical track displacements on soft subgrades

Last updated on 02 September 2014 4:40

Several analytical models can be used to predict the propagation of bending waves in the track/embankment system. A model of a Euler beam on a Winkler foundation is studied and used to demonstrate how the magnitude of displacements are dependent on train speed and track damping. The methods by which...
