Summary
This paper describes a three dimensional boundary element - finite element
coupling approach in the time
domain to study induced vibrations from the passage of high-speed trains.
The track is
modelled using finite elements and the soil is represented using boundary
elements. Both are analyzed separately and the coupling conditions are
established at the track-soil interface. An algorithm based on implicit Green's
functions is used to carry out the finite element time integration. The efficiency of
the boundary element method is improved by time-domain interpolation of the boundary
element matrices. The process is carried out
using a linear combination of equations for several time steps to ensure that
the procedure is stable with resepect to time. Existing
analytical solutions for some simple
problems are used to validate and illustrate the accuracy and efficiency of the
proposed numerical model.
