Train rolling noise is generated by vibrations of both the rail and the wheel. In this paper the nature of the vibration of the rail is explored theoretically, for the frequency range important for noise generation ( \(100-5000 \mathrm{~Hz}\) ). Initially, a finite element model of a short length of
The vibrations of railway wheels are one of the component sources of wheel-rail noise generation. The nature of these vibrations is discussed, in the context of both theoretical and experimental results. This begins with a study of the free vibration behaviour, in which the modes of vibration are ca
Wheel/rail noise can be reduced by increasing the size of the area of contact between the wheel and rail and by decreasing the contact stiffness. In this study we examine analytically the anticipated changes in these quantities if the transverse curvature of the wheel and rail running surfaces are v
