2. Reliability-Based Sensitivity Analysis of the Dynamic Response of Railway Bridges
University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnadAbstract : In response to the planned increase in operational speeds and axle loads of passengertrains that may lead to resonance-induced excessive vibrations in railway bridges,recent studies examined the reliability of bridges concerning train running safety andpassenger comfort limit states. In this respect, valuable information regarding theimportance of input variables can be obtained by conducting Sensitivity Analysis (SA). READ MORE

3. Spectral density approach for dynamic analysis of high-speed railway bridges
University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnadAbstract : The focus of this thesis is to introduce the concept of train signature in the spectraldensity approach used in the dynamic analysis of simply-supported railway bridges.Due to the increased transportation demands, longer trains with higher axles loadsand top speeds are being developed.

4. Parametric Studies of Train-Track-Bridge Interaction : An evaluation of the dynamic amplification due to track irregularities for freight transport
University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnadAbstract : In this thesis a train-track-bridge interaction (TTBI) model is developed in order to study the dynamic amplification from track irregularities on railway bridges traversed by freight trains. These simulations are of great importance since rail freight transport is expected to increase in order to meet the climate goals. READ MORE

5. Comparison of Electric Aircraft and Electric Train : On the Distance Stockholm-Gothenburg
University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)Abstract : Commercial aviation accounts for 2,4% of the total carbon dioxide emissions. This number is expected to reach 25% in 2050. In contrast to flying, the most energy efficient transportation mode is rail. In Sweden, rail and air are the most competitive on the distance Stockholm-Gothenburg due to similar total travel time.
