Due to the large size and complicated features, brake discs of high-speed trains are difficult forge, so a reasonable design process die parameter prerequisites for successful forming. The flow stress 23CrNiMoV, forged-steel disc material trains, was investigated by uniaxial compression experiment on Gleeble 1500 test machine. Based obtained flow-stress data, series numerical simulation analyse...

The most popular dispatching rule for double-track segments is to dedicate one track for trains traveling in one direction. However, today passenger trains are able to travel at a much faster speed compared to freight trains, but the limitation of the rail infrastructure makes it more cost effective to allow the passenger trains to share some portions of the railway tracks with the slower freig...

A three-dimensional finite element model was developed to investigate dynamic response of track-embankment-ground system subjected to moving loads caused by high speed trains. The track-embankment-ground systems such as the sleepers, the ballast, the embankment, and the ground are represented by 8-noded solid elements. The infinite elements are used to represent the infinite boundary condition ...
