β¦ Synopsis
The propagation of vibration generated by a harmonic or a constant load moving along a layered beam resting on the layered half-space is investigated theoretically in this paper. The solution to this problem can be used to study the ground vibration generated by the motion of a train axle load on a railway track. In this application, the ground is modelled as a number of parallel viscoelastic layers overlying an elastic half-space or a rigid foundation. The track, including the rails, rail pad, sleepers and ballast, is modelled as an in"nite, layered beam structure. The modal nature of propagation in the ground for a chosen set of ground parameters is discussed and the results of the model are presented showing the characteristics of the vibration generated by a constant load and an oscillatory load at speeds below, near to, and above the lowest ground wave speed.

A calculation method has been produced for the propagation of vibration in the ground from a stationary oscillating load applied via a railway track structure. The model includes the track as an in"nite layered beam structure resting on a ground made up of in"nite parallel homogeneous elastic layers
A sequence of results is presented from a model of an oscillating load moving on a track on a layered ground. The results allow a visualization of the e!ect of the relative speeds of the load and the propagation speeds in the ground structure. This is useful in developing the understanding of the in
The transmission of vibrations over the surface of the ground, due to a high-speed moving, vertical harmonic strip load, is investigated theoretically. Consequently, the problem is essentially two-dimensional and the interior of the ground is modelled as an elastic half-space. The transformed soluti
An alternative way of passing through the characteristic wave velocity in a waveguide is investigated by a uniformly moving object along an elastic system with a change in parameters such that a transition from subcritical into supercritical object motion is taking place. To demonstrate this way of
