β¦ Synopsis
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 interaction of train speed, track structure and ground properties for high-speed trains. The simulation shows the excitation of high amplitudes of vibration in the track, the &&bow wave'' angle of propagation of vibration in the ground and the transfer of vibrational energy to a higher order mode as the speed of the load exceeds that of the "rst mode of propagation in the layered ground. 2000 Academic Press 0022-460X/00/130739#13 $35.00/0 ( # ) * *y # v" *v *t ( # ) * *z # w" *w *t

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
Vibrational behavior of elastic homogeneous isotropic beams with general boundary conditions due to a moving harmonic force is analyzed. The analysis duly considers beams with four di!erent boundary conditions; these include pinned}pinned, "xed}"xed, pinned}"xed, and "xed}free. The response of beams
The dynamic sti!ness matrix of an in"nite Timoshenko beam on viscoelastic foundation to a harmonic moving load is established. This dynamic sti!ness matrix is essentially a function of the velocity and frequency of the harmonic moving load. The critical velocities and the resonant frequencies can be
The steady state response of a discrete, granular layer to a uniformly moving, harmonically vibrating load is elaborated. This model simulates the response of a ballast layer to an instantaneous train axle passage. After deriving the boundary value problem and illuminating the corresponding solution
The transmission of vibrations in the vicinity of a rectangular harmonic vertical load, acting on a viscoelastic layer overlaying a rigid half-space, is investigated theoretically, using a semi-analytic approach. The solution involves a double Fourier transform with respect to two of the space varia
