Polygonisation of railway wheels: a critical review

Gongquan Tao, Zefeng Wen, Xuesong Jin et al. · 29 Sep 2020

Abstract Polygonisation is a common nonuniform wear phenomenon occurring in railway vehicle wheels and has a severe impact on the vehicle–track system, ride comfort, and lineside residents. This paper first summarizes periodic defects of the wheels, including wheel polygonisation and wheel corrugation, occurring in railways worldwide. Thereafter, the effects of wheel polygonisation on the wheel–rail…

Review of research on high-speed railway subgrade settlement in soft soil area

Shunhua Zhou, Binglong Wang, Yao Shan · 1 Jun 2020

Abstract Construction issues of high-speed rail infrastructures have been increasingly concerned worldwide, of which the subgrade settlement in soft soil area becomes a particularly critical problem. Due to the high compressibility and low permeability of soft soil, the post-construction settlement of the subgrade is extremely difficult to control in these regions, which seriously threatens the…

Active suspension in railway vehicles: a literature survey

Bin Fu, Rocco Libero Giossi, Rickard Persson et al. · 1 Mar 2020

Abstract Since the concept of active suspensions appeared, its large possible benefits has attracted continuous exploration in the field of railway engineering. With new demands of higher speed, better ride comfort and lower maintenance cost for railway vehicles, active suspensions are very promising technologies. Being the starting point of commercial application of active suspensions in…

Pantograph–catenary electrical contact system of high-speed railways: recent progress, challenges, and outlooks

Guangning Wu, Keliang Dong, Zhilei Xu et al. · 2 Aug 2022

Abstract As the unique power entrance, the pantograph–catenary electrical contact system maintains the efficiency and reliability of power transmission for the high-speed train. Along with the fast development of high-speed railways all over the world, some commercialized lines are built for covering the remote places under harsh environment, especially in China; these environmental elements including…

Railway ground vibration and mitigation measures: benchmarking of best practices

Slimane Ouakka, Olivier Verlinden, Georges Kouroussis · 8 Jan 2022

Abstract Vibration and noise aspects play a relevant role in the lifetime and comfort of urban areas and their residents. Among the different sources, the one coming from the rail transit system will play a central concern in the following years due to its sustainability. Ground-borne vibration and noise assessment as well as techniques to…

Railway Engineering Science template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Railway Engineering Science format?
