Boundary Condition and Equivalent Mass-Spring-Damper System for a Truncated Railway Track
To deal with vehicle/track interaction in the time domain, the infinitely long railway track often has to be truncated, generating a finite track model. The ends of the rail in the model are normally simply su...

An Investigation into the Effect of the Number of the Rubber Blocks of a Resilient Wheel on Wheel-Rail Noise
Resilient wheels are widely used in trams due to their ability to reduce noise and vibration. A resilient wheel typically consists of a steel rim, a steel wheel core, a rubber layer, and a press-fit ring on th...
