Faculty Civil Engineering and Geosciences Department Railway Engineering Date 2000-01-01 Abstract The analysis of structures subjected to fast moving loads is a subject of growing interest in railway and pavement engineering. The applications of transient analyses using finite element models, however, are still very limited. The faster a load moves the more elements we need to model the structure. Even at fast workstations and main frame computers a moderate accurate analysis requires a huge amount of computer time. Many problems can be solved more efficient by application of a steady state analysis using a moving reference system. Based upon this formulation we will develop finite element models that travel together with the moving loads. Such an analysis can be performed with the computer power and execution time necessary for the solution of a common static problem, thus at a normal PC. Especially in the design phase such an analysis is very attractive.
