Abstract
The Railway track, is simulated as a beam on elastic foundation with damping. The motion of a vehicle is simulated by the 2nd order differential equation of motion; the input to the system “vehicle-rail” is the form of the Track Geometry which “acts” as a “signal”. The defects with short and long wavelength influence the value of the dynamic component of the acting loads on the railway track and they are recorded in the frame of the Quality Control of the Railway Track, which presents a determined Confidence Interval depending on its “measurement-base”.
期刊介绍:
WSEAS Transactions on Applied and Theoretical Mechanics publishes original research papers relating to computational and experimental mechanics. We aim to bring important work to a wide international audience and therefore only publish papers of exceptional scientific value that advance our understanding of these particular areas. The research presented must transcend the limits of case studies, while both experimental and theoretical studies are accepted. It is a multi-disciplinary journal and therefore its content mirrors the diverse interests and approaches of scholars involved with fluid-structure interaction, impact and multibody dynamics, nonlinear dynamics, structural dynamics and related areas. We also welcome scholarly contributions from officials with government agencies, international agencies, and non-governmental organizations.
