MEASUREMENT OF DYNAMIC STIFFNESS OF RECYCLED RUBBER BASED RAILWAY TRACK MATS ACCORDING TO DB-TL 918.71

Measurement of dynamic stiffness were performed on three samples of material (based on recycled rubber) used as mats for railway track applications. Measurements were performed at three static preloads, 0.03, 0.06 and 0.1 MPa, in the frequency range 10-100 Hz. A steady increase in dynamics stiffness with increasing frequency was observed in the sample studies, ranging from 0.1 to 0.23 N.mm-3. At the same time, the measured dynamic stiffness shifted to higher absolute values with increasing static preload. (A) For the covering abstract see ITRD E113232.
