Vibration Reduction in Ballasted Track Using Ballast Mat: Numerical and Experimental Evaluation by Wheelset Drop Test

Ballast mats are considered as an effective solution for reducing vehicle-induced vibrations. However, the research on the vibration characteristics of each part of the ballasted track with a ballast mat is limited. In this study, the ballast mat vibration reduction effects are evaluated by numerica...
