Summary: This study investigates the influence of the ballast-deck interface on the dynamic response of single ballasted track, simply supported high speed railway bridges. Through numerical simulations and analysis, it is found that the ballast-bridge interface has a significant impact on the dynamic response, especially during resonance of short-span bridges. The dynamics of the system are essentially governed by a Duffing oscillator in structures of different lengths.

Summary: A dynamic interaction model of the wind-train-bridge system considering the geometric nonlinear factors of a long-span suspension bridge is developed. A self-written program is used to compare the linear and nonlinear vibration responses of the bridge under the simultaneous action of train and wind loads. The research findings can provide references for the safe operation and maintenance of long-span bridges.

Summary: This paper proposes a coupling vibration model to study the riding comfort of passengers in urban rail transit trains. A calculation program is compiled to simulate the dynamic responses of passengers and train on a representative steel-concrete composite girder bridge. The results show that passengers in the middle carriages feel better and the seating position also affects their comfort. Additionally, passengers feel better in fully loaded carriages and the riding comfort decreases with increasing train speed.

Summary: This article validates a 3D dynamic interaction model of a train-track-bridge system on a bowstring-arch railway bridge through experimental tests. The model incorporates large-scale finite element models of the train, track, and bridge subsystems, calibrated using experimental modal parameters. A dedicated computational application called TBI software is used to efficiently solve the train-bridge dynamic interaction problem. The validation process involves comparing the numerical and experimental results in terms of accelerations, displacements, and strains, and shows a very good correlation between the two.

Summary: The study found that train-induced vibration significantly affects the segregation and stability of EAC during paving on the road deck bridge. The frequency and duration of the vibration are the key factors influencing the physical properties of EAC. Despite the impact on physical properties, EAC retains high performance due to its chemical curing, highlighting the importance of timely breakdown rolling during the initial stage of paving construction under train-induced vibration.

Summary: Previous studies have conflicting conclusions regarding the train effect on the lateral structural vibration of track-bridge system. This paper conducted a shaking table test with a running train model to verify the train hitting and damping effects and evaluate the impact of train operation on structural vibration. The results show that the hitting effect on track structure vibration is considerable but limited on the bridge structure, and the damping effect is not significant for both. The aseismic design of high-speed railway track-bridge system can ignore the train if the bridge structure response is used as the major evaluation index.

Summary: The study showed that the efficiency of seismic isolation systems for conventional railway bridges is higher than that for monorail bridges. The presence of trains in seismic events could create critical conditions for monorail bridges, while ignoring the train in conventional railway bridges may lead to the most critical responses in the system.

Summary: This study investigated the influences of wind barriers on the aerodynamic characteristics, safety, and comfort indexes of high-speed trains crossing a bridge. Results showed that wind barriers can effectively reduce wind pressures on the trains' surfaces, leading to decreased dynamic responses and improved safety and comfort levels for the trains. However, the porosity and height of the wind barriers should be carefully considered to achieve optimal results. Additionally, it was found that in cases of high wind speeds, the installation of wind barriers may have adverse effects on the vertical vibration of the train-track-bridge system.

Summary: In order to evaluate the ground vibration caused by metro tunnel operations, it is necessary to extend the near-field vibration of train-track-tunnel to the far-field vibration of train-track-tunnel-soil through numerical analysis. This study proposes an isoparametric element permutation method that integrates triangular prismatic elements and spatial isoperimetric elements to model the tunnel-soil system effectively. The tunnel and soil subsystems are coupled using spring-dashpot elements. The effectiveness of this model is validated through comparison with measurements on site.

Summary: This study investigates the dynamic effects of long-span railway suspension bridges crossing strike-slip faults and trains. A nonlinear model incorporating Hertz's nonlinear theory and Kalker creep theory was established to analyze the wheel-rail contact. Artificial synthetic methods were used to generate ground motions across strike-slip faults. The effects of fault-crossing angles and permanent ground rupture displacements on wheel-rail dynamics were systematically studied, providing insights for practical seismic design and train running safety assessment of such bridges.

Summary: The installation of base isolation systems in nuclear power plants can improve safety from seismic loads, but it can also lead to increased displacement and higher seismic risk for interface piping systems. Low-cycle fatigue failure was found to be the main cause of failure in the interface piping system, with fittings failing due to nonlinear behavior. Quantitative expression of the failure criteria for carbon steel pipe elbows due to low-cycle fatigue was conducted, with damage index values calculated based on ductility and energy dissipation.
