This paper deals with the assessment of track deterioration using a train-track interaction model. While modelling a train-track system a balance has to be found between the complexity and effort of the model on the one side and the needs for the assessment. The choice of assessment criteria are decisive for the given task. For an optimization of the track and its components simple assessment criteria are needed to allow for a variation of parameters. The paper describes the generalized process for track assessment and optimization and gives examples for specific members.
This paper presents a three dimensional numerical model which is can be used to investigate the effects on the track and in its vicinity due to a train passage. The numerical model for train track interaction is based on a time domain dynamic finite element model. Due to the unbounded nature of the soil the truncated boundary of the finite element domain is modelled with the scaled boundary finite element method, which is a semi-analytical approach. The application for a heterogeneous track along the track line is exemplified by a track with a bridge structure, where close attention is paid to the wheel-rail contact force. The results indicate that the wheel-rail contact force is not symmetrical around the bridge structure and an optimisation in terms of a backfilling area and under-sleeper-pads can improve such a transition.
