DYNAMIC RAIL OVERTURNING: MODELLING AND APPLICATION

An analytical model for examining the dynamic behavior of rail overturning has been developed by the authors in another paper. This mathematical model of the rail-track system and dynamic equilibrium is utilized to determine the lateral deflection and rotation of the rail subjected to time-dependent lateral and vertical forces and constant axial force. The analysis is based on linear elastic theory.
