Discrete Element Modeling of Railway Ballast for Studying Railroad Tamping Operation
The behavior of the ballast particles during their interaction with tamping tines in tamping operation is studied by developing a simulation model using the Discrete Element Model (DEM), with the aim of optimizing the railroad tamping operation. A comprehensive literature review is presented showcas...
