Abstract
Now for the construction of railway tracks for subway or tram, new designs of spring rail fastenings are used. These units are quite difficult to calculate, because they contain a number of contact connections. In this chapter, a technique of numerical analysis for the study of these fastenings is developed, based on the use of the finite element method. The developed technique has been used for the analysis of SB-3 rail fastening. The authors also present a brief discussion on fastening the rails to the sleepers used in the past and present on Polish rail network. This research aims to create a computational model of the SB-3 rail fastening using the FEM (Finite Element Method) from which further research can be developed.
