Abstract

With increasing the train speed, axle loads, traffic density and the wider engineering applications of new vehicles and track structures, the interaction between the vehicle and the track has become more complex. Accordingly, the train running safety and stability are more affected by increased dynamic stresses. High Speed Railway Track Dynamics lays a good foundation for investigating the complicated wheel-rail relationship and interaction mechanism, which provides essential references for guiding and optimizing the design of the vehicle and the track structure. In this chapter, the research advances in track dynamics model and method are reviewed, and the contents of the track dynamics analysis are introduced. Then, the limits for riding safety and stability for high speed trains, standards of track maintenance and management for high speed railways, standards of railway environmental noise and vibration, and standards of historic building structure vibration are described and commented.
