• Influence of non-linear soil properties on railway critical speed 

      Fernández Ruiz, Jesús; Castanheira Pinto, Alexandre; Alves Costa, Pedro; Connolly, David Patrick (Elsevier, 2022)
      [Abstract:] The design of high-speed railway lines involves geotechnical challenges, one of which is the risk of dynamic track amplification, for example on track sections where the train speed approaches the track-ground ...
    • Predicting Critical Speed of Railway Tracks Using Artificial Intelligence Algorithms 

      Ramos, Ana; Castanheira Pinto, Alexandre; Colaço, Aires; Fernández Ruiz, Jesús; Alves Costa, Pedro (MDPI, 2023)
      [Abstract:] Motivated by concerns regarding safety and maintenance, the operational speed of a railway line must remain significantly below the critical speed associated with the track–ground system. Given the large number ...
