  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

With the ongoing operation of high-speed and heavy-haul railways , dynamic analysis of the track structure has become a significant research topic in the field of railway engineering. By establishing the continuous elastic beam model of track structure , analytic method for dynamic analysis of track structure is discussed, and characteristics of ground surface waves and the strong track vibration induced by high-speed trains are analyzed by the analytic method.
