Dynamics of a beam on elastic foundation - impact of the bilinear characteristic of the foundation upon the propagation of the bending wave

Rail is an important source of noise in the railway traffic and its acoustic power is depending on the rate of decay of vibration. The main characteristic of the track in terms of the vertical elasticity is the so-called track modulus which results from the load-rail deflection curve. In general, th...
