Parametric Study of the Influence of Nonlinear Elastic Characteristics of Rail Pads on Wheel–Rail Vibrations

The rail pad is the elastic element between the rail and the sleeper that has the role of absorbing the mechanical stresses from the rail and reducing the vibrations and shocks generated by wheel–rail interactions. In this paper, the problem of the influence of the variability of the nonlinear load-...
