Railway
Infrastructure & rolling stock
A global vision of the rail system
Wheel / rail interaction
- Identification of contact forces.
- Wear and fatigue of rolling surfaces.
Infrastructure & rolling stock
- Railway dynamics (stability and derailment).
- Sizing and optimization, acoustic and vibration comfort.
- Asset management, service life and mechanical reliability.
Environmental impact
- Noise and vibration propagation near transmission lines.
- Transmission in buildings.
