A finite element methodology to model flexible tracks with arbitrary geometry for railway dynamics applications

The dynamic analysis of railway vehicles requires an accurate representation of the vehicle, the track geometry and structure, and their interaction. Generally, flexible track models with curved geometries represent the rails with straight beam elements, which results in a piecewise linear represent...
