Abstract: |
The paper describes how rail track-structure interaction analysis for both high speed and general trainsets can be carried out according to the Union Internationale des Chemins de fer (International Union of Railways) UIC774-3 Code of Practice. Automated modelling techniques and results and graphing capabilities are described. Real-life projects on which the finite element modelling techniques involved have been used to good effect are described and cited. |
