TRSS 430 - Advanced Rail Transportation Engineering

3 credits
This course builds on the Rail Transportation Engineering course with a deeper understanding of the engineering mechanics and dynamics specific to the railway loading environment. In this course, the student will learn the fundamentals of continuously supported structural analysis applied to railway track components, curving forces, train/track interaction, vehicle dynamics, thermal forces and continuously welded rail, noise and vibration in the railway environment and its consequences, and the wheel/rail
interface.
