Vehicle-bridge Interaction Dynamicsby Y B Yang; J D Yau; Y S Wu
World Scientific 2004; US$ 127.40The commercial operation of the bullet train in 1964 in Japan marked the beginning of a new era for high-speed railways. Because of the huge amount of kinetic energy carried at high speeds, a train may interact significantly with the bridge and even resonate with it under certain circumstances. Equally important is the riding comfort of the train cars, which relates closely to the maneuverability of the train during its passage over the bridge at high speeds. more...

Transrapid und Rad-Schiene-Hochgeschwindigkeitsbahnby Peter Jehle; René Naumann; Rainer Schach
Springer 2006; US$ 129.00Der Transrapid bietet im Hochgeschwindigkeitsbereich eine sehr interessante Alternative. Die Autoren zeigen in einem Systemvergleich Vor- und Nachteile des Transrapid im Vergleich mit konventionellen Rad-Schiene-Systemen, im Hochgeschwindigkeitsbereich auf Strecken zwischen 150 und 800 Kilometern und als peer-to-peer-Verbindung im Kurzstreckenbereich. Berücksichtigt werden alle wichtigen technischen, wirtschaftlichen und ökologischen Faktoren. Damit kann die Frage der ökonomischen wie ökologischen Bewertung des Systems Transrapid neu diskutiert werden. Dieses Buch wendet sich an Entscheidungsträger sowie an Ingenieure und Wissenschaftler, die über Fakten Zugang zu neuen technischen, wirtschaftlichen und politischen Entscheidungen suchen. more...
