摘要：Nowadays, the increase in heavy freight rail transport and high-speed train (HST) operations has encouraged scientists to investigate the dynamic response of rail structures under moving load using analytically and numerically computational methods. In this study, to analyse vibration of rail structure, the rail has been modelled as continuous Euler-Bernoulli elastic beam system. The effects of some basic parameters such as track foundation elasticity modulus, rail stiffness, wheel set axle load and rail critical velocity which affect rail vibrations, on vibrations were examined in detail by considering different track foundation properties. The vibration wave amplitude increases as the train speed approaches the rail infrastructure critical speed.
