โœฆ Synopsis

Measurements of the vibrational behaviour of railway track are presented. Because the track system is effectively infinite, its motion consists of propagating waves, and usual modal analysis concepts and techniques are not appropriate. New experimental techniques are therefore developed to handle these phenomena. In particular the various propagating vibrational waves in the rail are identified in terms of their complex propagation coefficients and their corresponding deformed shapes. These waves are separated by using an analysis based on fitting a series of complex exponential functions to the measured data. Some predictions of wave phenomena in track are also presented for comparison and good agreement between theory and experiment is found.

In order to reduce the noise generated in the environment during a train's passage, studies have been carried out to model the track behaviour in dynamics. Models based on a rail description by Timoshenko beams were found to be insufficient, especially for lateral motion where torsion phenomena caus
