Study and mitigation measures for the effects of stresses and vibrodynamic forces on rails resulting from the movement of freight train wheels

Abstract

All over the world the demand for railway transport of goods and passengers is increasing, which is the reason
for increasing the requirements for all railway facilities. Every sphere of railway facilities is developing, new
techniques and technologies are being introduced, but despite such changes and developments, the railway has
not yet escaped from technical difficulties and defects that lead to faulty conditions. The occurrence of track
defects and defects in the junction zone on the sections with high-speed and heavy-weight train traffic,
deterioration of track geometry, destruction of track rigidity, occurrence of faults under the influence of
various factors are also important with the increase of vibrodynamic actions and vibrations. So, the abovementioned
aspects are put forward as the main problems to be reduced, the causes of these deficiencies, faults
and effects and the measures to eliminate and reduce them are given in this article.
