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

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
Previous models of wheel-rail noise generation have all been based on the dynamical behaviour of stationary wheels and rails. In this paper the effects of wheel rotation have been included into the theory of wheel-rail noise generation. The relevant equations are derived on the assumption that the s
This paper presents a frequency-domain analysis of a friction-driven wheel that is responsible for wheel squeal. A linear friction characteristic is assumed. The wheel motion is written as a superposition of bending modes. The modal properties (damping, frequency, impulse response amplitude of each
