Train-induced vibrations: moving load modelling

Abstract

In this paper numerical modeling of train induced vibration is presented. The wheel force is modeled with assumption that only static component with constant load shape and constant velocity exists. The dynamic and inertial part of loading is neglected. The dynamic response, caused by the calculated moving forces of train “Beovoz”, in the selected points of existing structures at railway station “Belgrade-Center” in Prokop are obtained using the Finite element analysis in the Frequency domain and the Thin layer method. Some of the results are presented.
