Abstract (EN): The present work aims at studying the influence of several components of the track and the train in the dynamic behaviour of the track-train system at a zone of an abrupt change in track stiffness. The study has been carried out by means of a dynamic analysis tool which enabled to model the train and the track, taking also into account its interaction. The analysis results were assessed in terms of the maximum and minimum values of the wheelrail interaction force and the vertical acceleration of the locomotive box. © 2007 Civil-Comp Press.
