  1. Development of ice-bonded ballast in sub-freezing temperatures and its effect on maintenance operations during a winter rail break

    Sub-freezing temperatures result in ice formation within the ballast layer of railroad track. Given the proper moisture and fouling conditions, the retained moisture bonds ballast particles together changing the mechanical properties. For above-freezing temperatures, longitudinal track resistance …

  2. Dispersion Curve Estimation for Longitudinal Rail Stress Measurement

    … non-destructive method for measuring stress in railroads and other similar structures without the need for a calibration measurement. Major limitations which have hindered previous techniques include sensitivity to boundary conditions, insensitivity to stress, and intolerance for material and …
