An analytical model for the prediction of thermal track buckling in dual gauge tracks

Villalba Sanchis, Ignacio; Insa Franco, Ricardo; Salvador Zuriaga, Pablo; Martínez Fernández, Pablo (SAGE Publications, 2018)

[EN] In rail transport, track gauge is one of the principal factors that condition the passage of trains. For technical and economic reasons, in some circumstances it is necessary to build and operate the so-called dual ...
An artificial neural network model as a preliminary track design tool

Montalbán Domingo, María Laura; Fernández-Villa, J. A.; Masanet Sendra, Claudio; Real Herráiz, Julia Irene (SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2015)

The formula derived from Zimmermann s theory is commonly used in railway track design. However, this formula depends on variables such as the ballast coefficient, which are difficult to determine. In recent years, numerical ...
