Dynamic Deflection of a Railroad Sleeper from the Coupled Measurements of Acceleration and Strain
Dynamic deflection of a railroad sleeper works as an indicator of ballast stiffness, reflecting the health conditions of a ballast track. However, difficulty exists in measuring dynamic deflection of a railroad sleeper by conventional deflection transducers such as a linear variable differential tra...
