21. An Integration-Reduction Scheme for Simulation of Large Systems with Local Nonlinearity and Uncertainty - Application to moving load problems in railway mechanics
Sammanfattning : The focus of this research is mainly on computational efficiency, as future work is planned for reliability analysis that will be combined with design optimisation. Both these fields are known to be notoriously computationally demanding. LÄS MER
22. Railway track dynamic modelling
Sammanfattning : The railway vehicles are an increasing mean of transportation due to, its reduced impact on environment and high level of comfort provided. These reasons have contributed to settle a positive perception of railway traffic into the European society. LÄS MER
23. Elastic-plastic fracture mechanics - Application to rolling contact fatigue in rails
Sammanfattning : Railway structures represent complex mechanical problems involving wave propagation, plastic deformations and material degradation. The wheel-rail contact loads subject the material to repeated cycles of complex stress states resulting in rolling contact fatigue (RCF). LÄS MER
24. Damage and defects in railway materials: influence of mechanical and thermal damage on crack initiation and propagation
Sammanfattning : With rising societal concern for the environment, railways offer travelers a sustainable alternative to other forms of fossil-fueled transportation. In order to be competitive with airlines, for example, the railway industry must provide safe, efficient, and affordable service. LÄS MER
25. Development of new techniques for the numerical modelling of railway track dynamics. Application to rolling noise assessment
Sammanfattning : The numerical modelling is widely employed for the prediction of the railway track dynamic behaviour, which is of utmost importance for the characterisation of the undesired medium-high frequency phenomena, such as corrugation, wheel-out-of-roundness and noise emission. This study is devoted to the improvement of railway track numerical modelling, the efficient resolution of the problem in the time domain and the assessment of rolling noise for different approaches of the track modelling.
