Modeling of railway track integrating a shock-absorbing mat at the sleepers-ballast interface using eigenfunctions of displacement.

ABSTRACT: Damage caused to railway tracks and the surrounding environment during trains passage have become a real concern for those involved in the railway sector over the years. To find a solution for this problem, several approaches have already been implemented on railway tracks in some countries. Despite the efforts made in this area, the problem of ground vibration induced by railway traffic still remains a concern. Therefore, many studies have been focused on solutions to attenuate, even cancel vibrations effects on the track and nearby environment. This work has presented a modeling of a ballasted railway track with a shock-absorbing mat or Under Sleepers Rubber Mat (USRm) at the sleepers/ ballast interface. Using the equation of wave propagation in the ground and the constitutive law, the e
