Use of Ballast Support Condition Back-Calculator for Quantification of Ballast Pressure Distribution Under Concrete Sleepers
In North America, most rail corridors are constructed using ballasted track. Monitoring the ballast support condition and improving upon current sub-structure/ballast maintenance strategies will ensure safe railroad operations. However, it is inherently difficult to evaluate the pressure distribution at the sleeperballast interface. Researchers at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIU...
متن کاملinvestigation of rail track vibration due to fractured sleepers
in this paper effects of fractured sleepers on rail track vibration under moving wheelset have been investigated. two parallel rails of the track have been modeled as euler-bernoulli beams on elastic points as rail pads. also sleepers have been modeled as visco-elastic euler-bernoulli beams. it is assumed that, some sleepers under the rail track have been fractured and modeled by two beams. the...
متن کاملImprovement of train-track interaction in transition zones via reduction of ballast damage
Transition zones in railway tracks are locations with considerable changes in the vertical stiffness of the rail support. Typically they are located near engineering structures, such as bridges, culverts, tunnels and level crossings. In such locations, the differential settlement always exists and continually grows without proper maintenance. Due to the effect of the differential settlement and...
متن کاملExtraction of Robust Voids and Pockets in Proteins
Voids and pockets in a protein refer to empty spaces that are enclosed by the protein molecule. Existing methods to compute, measure, and visualize the voids and pockets in a protein molecule are sensitive to inaccuracies in the empirically determined atomic radii. This paper presents a topological framework that enables robust computation and visualization of these structures. Given a fixed se...
متن کاملInvestigating the Behavior of Railway Sleeper for Different Cases and Track Conditions by Using Analytical and Numerical Methods
Railway Sleepers are one of the most important elements in the track superstructure. Their tasks are keeping the track geometry, resisting against vertical and lateral train loads and transferring the train loads to the ballast layers. In this research, the railway sleeper as a beam on the elastic foundation is modeled with finite length. In this regard, two cases including a) beam with constan...
