VibraTec is able to meet client needs for calculation, maintenance programs and rail equipment monitoring using the following suite of complete solutions.

Software for Railway Ground Borne Vibration Prediction

GroundVIB is a dedicated software package for predicting ground borne noise and vibration levels for railway systems. Its user friendly interface enables the computation of sources of vibration excitation that is then transmitted to the ground. The train and track models are coupled to the excitation. The excitation could be a roughness spectra (which represents the quality of the rail and wheel rolling surface), a singularity (such as a rail joint, or a wheel flat) or a parametric excitation (related to the discontinuous supports of the rail). GroundVib software is part of the global methodology developed and validated by VibraTec to work with, and understand ground borne and structure borne noise and vibration issues.

INPUT :

  • Roughness
  • Train speed
  • Building distances
  • Soil decay rate or soil type

Database (evolutive) :

  • Wheel – rail roughness
  • Soil decay rates
  • Building transfer functions

OUTPUT :

Vibration level (Lv, eVDV, …) :

  • Track component
  • Building threshold
  • Inside building

Software for Railway Rolling Noise Prediction

STARDAMP is a modelling tool that standardises damping techniques for the reduction of railway rolling noise. The software implements an analytical description of the interaction between wheel and track. Wheel, rail and sleeper responses are calculated and the sound power levels estimated through radiation efficiencies

  • Direct assessment of Wheel and Rail dampers
  • Simplified Graphical User Interface with predefined input parameters for Easy and Quick handling
  • Possibility  to enter user-defined parameters for expert users

INPUT :

  • Track decay rate measurements (Laboratory testing)
  • Wheel FE model
  • Wheel damping measurements (Laboratory testing)

OUTPUT :

  • SPL at 7.5 m or 25 m
  • Sound power Spectra , octave or 1/3rd octave bands
  • A-weighted overall levels
  • Wheel and track contributions
