Research on Vibration Parameters of Tamping Operation

Article Preview

Abstract:

Tamping operation is an important work of railway maintenance. There are many factors that can influence the tamping effect. This paper mainly studies the influence of vibration frequency and amplitude on the porosity of railway ballast. In order to obtain the minimal porosity, the response surface method was used to seek the optimal vibration parameters. Using an optimization method, the optimum vibration parameters were obtained that gives the minimal porosity. The obtained results are consistent with those of other similar studies, which mean that the response surface method is an effective analysis method of multi-parameter optimization problem under tamping operation.
