Relation between the geometry of rail welds and the dynamic wheel - rail response: Numerical simulations for measured welds

Last updated on 16 October 2014 11:34

The primary mechanisms playing a role in the dynamic wheel-rail response to rail weld irregularities in a ballasted track are pointed out. The concept of P1 and P2 forces for metallurgical rail welds, introduced in a first paper [1] concerning the present research, is further elaborated. The dynamic wheel-rail response...
