A comparison of ground vibration due to ballasted and slab tracks
( Elsevier Ltd , 2019 , Article)With the development of non-ballasted track forms (often referred to as slab tracks) over the few last decades, it is important to understand their behaviour with respect to ground-borne vibration compared with the traditional ... -
Comparison of the Mechanical Behavior of Railroad Ballast in a Box Test under Sinusoidal and Realistic Train Loadings Using Discrete Element Method
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference Paper)A ballasted track is a popular type of railway track and its use is increasing all over the world. A ballasted track consists of different structural elements like rails, fasteners, sleepers, ballast layer, sub-ballast ... -
Energy harvesting from railway vibrations - A numerical study based on beam-on-elastic-foundation under quasi-static loading
( National Technical University of Athens , 2021 , Conference Paper)The objective of this paper is to investigate energy harvesting of train-induced rail vibrations and to provide a comparison between various feasible harvesting locations based on the expected electrical power output. ...
