HIGH FREQUENCY TRACK VIBRATIONS AND CHARACTERISTICS OF VARIOUS TRACKS

This report analyzes the noises related to vibration of the track structure and of supporting structures such as bridges and tunnels resulting from discontinuities of the wheel/rail interface. By comparing theoretical studies with field measurements, the effective mass and effective support spring constant for forced vibrations produced by wheel/rail interactions are established. This approach to dynamic analysis for various track structures could lead to development of means for isolating vibrations and controlling noise.
