Applied Sciences· Volume 14· Issue 7

Abstract

This article presents an innovative, two-stage railway track model, which takes into consideration the rotation of railway sleepers due to non-uniform loads on rails. Examples of determining the dynamic response of the railway track are provided. The calculations were performed for a curve, in which non-uniform loads on rails result from the distribution of vertical loads at different train speeds. The analysis was performed using a variable moment of inertia of a sleeper.
