Post-Buckling Behavior of the Track due to Temperature

The actual behavior of the railroad track structure is suspected to be a complex interaction between the vertical, lateral, longitudinal, and torsional behaviors. A FE program are developed in the present study to be used for extensive nonlinear analysis of the track structures subjected to thermal load. Using the rigorous study on the deformed shape of the rail and tie, and stress resultants, characteristics of the three dimensional behavior are investigated. It is found that the flexural rigidity of the tie and the rotational stiffness of pad-fastener can be affect the behavior of the track structure and the postbuckling behavior in each rail, except lateral behavior, is not same.
