Abstract
Both vehicle and track have irregularities
-
track geometry irregularities (long wavelength) or
-
discrete irregularities (short wavelength) in the wheel tread or rail running surface.
These two classifications of track irregularities (long/short wavelength) produce different magnitudes of forces due to the resonances they create within the track structure.
