Rail Deflection

In the literature, typical analytical track response models are composed of beams (which represent the rail) on viscoelastic or elastic foundations. The load is usually considered as a single concentrated force (constant or varying in time) moving with constant speed. Concentrated or distributed loads or multilayer track models have rarely been considered. One can find some interesting results concerning analysis of distributed loads and multilayer track structures that include both analytical and numerical approaches. However, there is a noticeable lack of sufficient comparison between track responses under concentrated or distributed load and between one and multilayer track models. One of the unique features of the present paper is a comparison of data obtained for a series of concentrated and distributed loads, which takes into account a wide range of track parameters and train speeds. One of the fundamental questions associated with the multilayer track model is the level of coupling between the rail and the vibrations of the sleepers. In this paper, it is proved that sleepers are weakly coupled with the rail if the track is without significant imperfections, and the steady-state response is analyzed for this case. In other words, sleeper vibrations do not influence the rail vibrations significantly. Therefore the track is analyzed by means of a two-stage model. The first step of this model determines rail vibration under a moving load, and then the sleeper vibration is calculated from previously obtained kinematic excitation. The model is verified by comparison of the obtained results with experimental data. Techniques based on Fourier series are applied to the solution of the steady-state track response. Another important problem associated with track response under moving loads arises from the analysis of the effect of longitudinal forces in rails on vertical displacement. It is shown that, in the case of the steady-state response, longitudinal forces do not influence rail displacements significantly and this observation remains correct for a wide range of track parameters and train speeds. The paper also analyzes the legitimacy of the statement that additional rail deflection between sleepers, compared to the continuous rail support, can be considered as a track imperfection.

Axial Coordinate

An infinitely long, circular, cylindrical shell is submerged in an acoustic medium and subjected to a plane, axially propagating step wave. The fluid-shell interaction is approximated by neglecting fluid motions in the axial direction, thereby assuming that cylindrical waves radiate away from the shell independently of the axial coordinate. Rotatory inertia and transverse shear deformations are included in the shell equations of motion, and a steady-state solution is obtained by combining the independent variables, time and the axial coordinate, through a transformation that measures the shell response from the advancing wave front. Results from the steady-state solution for the case of steel shells submerged in water are presented using both the Timoshenko-type shell theory and the bending shell theory. It is shown that previous solutions, which assumed plane waves radiated away from the vibrating shell, overestimated the dumping effect of the fluid, and that the inclusion of transverse shear deformations and rotatory inertia have an effect on the response ahead of the wave front.

Solid Interface

The steady-state response of a semi-infinite solid, with an overlying semi-infinite fluid, subjected at the plane interface to a moving point load is determined for subsonic and intersonic load velocities. Some numerical results for the displacements at the interface are presented and compared to the results obtained in the absence of the fluid.
