Load Transmission Characteristic to Ballast Layer Focused on Deformation Mode of Sleeper

This paper reports the experimental modal analysis as developed for the 3PR-sleeper and the dynamic response measurement in the existing track in order to clarify the transmission characteristic of a dynamic load to the ballast layer. The results show the sleeper vibrates in its normal mode by some frequencies with a superior response of the load at the lower side of a sleeper. Also, the deformed shape of sleeper's normal mode cause specific load distributions at the lower side of a sleeper.
