(author), Li, Z. (author)Railway transition zones connecting conventional embankments and rigid struc-tures, such as bridges and tunnels, usually degrade much faster than other railway sections. Efficient health condition monitoring of transition zones is important for preventative track maintenance. In this paper, a methodology for monitoring rail-way transition zones...conference paper 2024

Shen, C. (author), Li, Z. (author), Dollevoet, R.P.B.J. (author)Railway crossings are critical components in the rail network. They usually degrade faster than the other components. It is therefore vital to monitor their conditions using appropriate methods. This paper proposes to use the ambient vibration caused by the train-track interaction from a distance to monitor the condition of railway crossings....conference paper 2020

Shen, C. (author), Sabbatini, L. (author), Wei, Z. (author), Dollevoet, R.P.B.J. (author), Li, Z. (author)This study compares various assumptions in different models to assess their capabilities to model vehicle-track interactions up to 2 kHz at a single rail-top defect. Field measurement data are used to evaluate discrepancies. The characteristics of contact force and axle-box acceleration (ABA) are first identified and qualitatively correlated...conference paper 2018

Shen, C. (author), Wei, Z. (author), Burgelman, N.D.M. (author), Dollevoet, R.P.B.J. (author), Li, Z. (author)Though numerical models based on multi-body dynamics (MBD) are often used to simulate the vehicle-track interaction at crossing impact, their relative capabilities and accuracy were not discussed. This paper aims to investigate the influence of wheelset flexibility on the result of crossing impact simulation in the frequency range 0–500 Hz. Two...conference paper 2016

Shen, L. (author), Li, S.B. (author), Van der Zwaag, S. (author), Sloof, W.G. (author)The oxidation crack healing of Cr2AlC and Cr2(Al,Si)C was studied and compared with known healing of Ti2AlC. The oxidation induced crack healing of Ti2AlC is relatively fast and leads to full strength recovery, but the oxidation product contains besides ?-Al2O3 also undesired TiO2. However, when oxidizing Cr2AlC only ?-Al2O3 is formed, but full...conference paper 2013
